1. Introduction

Welcome to Marco Cristoforetti's portfolio website. I am committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data in an open and transparent manner. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit my website.

2. Data Collection

This website is a static site that does not use cookies, tracking technologies, or analytics services. I do not collect any personal data through this website, except in the following cases:

• If you choose to contact me via email using the provided contact information, I will process your email address and any other personal data you include in your message.
• When you click on links to external websites (such as LinkedIn, YouTube, GitHub), you will be subject to the privacy policies of those third-party websites.

3. Server Logs

This website is hosted on GitHub Pages. When you visit this website, your IP address and certain technical information (such as browser type, operating system, time of access, and referring website) are automatically transmitted to GitHub’s servers. GitHub may store this information in server log files for operational and security purposes. For more information, please review GitHub's Privacy Statement.

4. Embedded Content and Third-Party Services

This website includes embedded content from third-party services, such as YouTube. These services may collect data such as your IP address and browser information. However, embedded YouTube videos are implemented using a two-click solution, meaning that no data is transferred to YouTube until you actively click to start the video.

5. International Data Transfers

Some services used by this website, such as GitHub Pages and YouTube, may process data on servers located outside the European Union, particularly in the United States. These providers participate in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or rely on appropriate safeguards to ensure data protection in accordance with GDPR requirements.

• The right to rectification
• The right to erasure ('right to be forgotten')
• The right to restrict processing
• The right to object to processing
• The right to data portability
• The right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority

Since I do not actively collect or store personal data through this website, most of these rights may not be applicable. However, if you have contacted me and wish to exercise any of these rights, please see the "Contact Me" section below.

7. Data Security

I implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to maintain the safety of any personal information you provide. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

8. Links to Other Websites

This website contains links to other websites that are not operated by me. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. I strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.
