2. What personal data may be processed?
Depending on how you use the website, the following categories of data may be processed:
• data you provide through the contact form, including your name, email address and the content of your message;
• information you send directly to contact@marcorosso.me;
• technical and security data generated when the website is accessed, such as IP address, date and time of access, requested pages, browser/device information, server logs and diagnostic data, to the extent generated by the hosting and security infrastructure;
• analytics data collected by Google Analytics 4 only after your consent to statistics.
Please do not send unnecessary sensitive or special-category personal data through the contact form.
3. Why is personal data processed?
Data may be processed to:
• receive, assess and reply to requests sent through the form or by email;
• take steps at your request before a possible professional or contractual relationship, where applicable;
• manage professional correspondence that you initiate;
• operate, protect, troubleshoot and maintain the website;
• prevent abuse, spam, security incidents and technical failures;
• understand website usage through non-essential analytics, only when the applicable consent requirements have been satisfied;
• comply with applicable legal obligations or establish, exercise or defend legal claims where necessary.
4. Legal bases
Depending on the context, processing is based on:
• steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, where your message concerns a possible professional engagement;
• Marco Rosso’s legitimate interests in receiving and managing professional communications, maintaining website security, preventing abuse and ensuring the technical operation of the site, where those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms;
• your consent for non-essential analytics cookies or similar technologies when consent is required;
• compliance with legal obligations where applicable.
You may withdraw consent at any time for processing based on consent. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
5. Contact form
The contact form asks for:
• Name
• What would you like to discuss?
The information is used to understand and respond to your request. There is no newsletter subscription or marketing consent. The form uses contact@marcorosso.me as the sender and your email address as the reply address.
6. Public email and mailbox
The public email address for this website is contact@marcorosso.me. It may be used for general contact and privacy-related requests. Messages sent to this address may be forwarded to Marco Rosso’s private inbox for operational handling. Marco’s private email address is not published on the website.
7. Hosting and service providers
The website uses Aruba S.p.A. managed WordPress hosting, email and HiSpeed Cache. These services process technical data where necessary to provide hosting, deliver messages, maintain security and operate the website.
Google Search Console and PageSpeed Insights are connected through Site Kit for site administration. Google Analytics 4 measures website usage after consent. Contact messages are forwarded from the Aruba mailbox to Marco Rosso’s private Gmail inbox for handling. WordPress, Polylang, Yoast SEO, Fluent Forms and Complianz run on the website; there are no embedded WhatsApp or LinkedIn services.
Service providers may act as data processors or independent controllers depending on the service and circumstances. Their own privacy information applies to processing they carry out under their responsibility.
8. Analytics
Google Analytics 4 is enabled through Site Kit and is blocked until you accept statistics. You can refuse or withdraw consent using Cookie preferences in the footer.
Analytics is used to understand aggregate usage and journeys, including contact submissions and clicks on contact, project and primary action links. Google Signals, advertising personalization, user-provided data collection and enhanced measurement are disabled. The website does not send the content of contact requests, names or email addresses to Analytics. There are no advertising or marketing tags.
9. International transfers
Some service providers, including Google where used, may process data in countries outside the European Economic Area. Where international transfers occur, they must rely on an applicable legal transfer mechanism and the safeguards made available by the relevant provider, as required by data protection law.
10. Retention
Personal data is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including:
• contact requests and related correspondence: for the time needed to respond and manage any resulting professional relationship, and longer where necessary for legal, administrative or evidentiary purposes;
• technical and security logs: according to the operational and security retention periods of the hosting/infrastructure setup;
• analytics data: event-level and user-level retention in GA4 is set to 2 months, with the reset on new activity disabled. This setting is separate from cookie lifetimes and does not apply to standard aggregated reports.
Data may be retained longer where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
11. Who may receive personal data?
Data may be accessed by Marco Rosso and, only where necessary, by providers supporting the website, hosting, email delivery, security, technical maintenance or analytics. Data is not sold.
Personal data is not intentionally shared with the ventures or projects mentioned on this site merely because they are referenced here. If a request needs to be routed to another organization, the appropriate handling and any necessary disclosure should be assessed in the context of that request.
12. Your rights
Subject to the conditions provided by applicable law, you may ask for:
• access to your personal data;
• correction of inaccurate data;
• deletion of data;
• restriction of processing;
• objection to processing based on legitimate interests;
• data portability where applicable;
• withdrawal of consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
To exercise your rights, contact: contact@marcorosso.me.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority. In Italy, this is the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.
13. Security
Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, loss, misuse or alteration of personal data. No online system can be described as completely secure, so this policy does not make an absolute security guarantee.
14. External links, WhatsApp and LinkedIn
The website may link to external services and websites. Opening an external link means leaving marcorosso.me, and the external provider’s own terms and privacy practices apply.
WhatsApp is offered only through a normal wa.me link. The website loads no WhatsApp widget or embed.
LinkedIn is offered only through a normal link to Marco Rosso’s canonical professional profile. The website loads no LinkedIn feed, embed or social widget.
15. Cookies and similar technologies
