This page explains what personal data italian-riviera.com collects, why, and how you can exercise your rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR).
Data controller
Federico Bertaina, email federicobertaina@gmail.com. Write to this address with any privacy question.
What data we collect
- Browsing data. The server automatically logs IP address, date and time, the page requested and browser type. We need this to run the site and protect it from abuse; we do not use it to identify you.
- Statistics, only with your consent. If you accept statistics cookies, Google Analytics collects pages viewed, referrer and device type in aggregate. If you refuse, Google Analytics is not loaded.
- Data you send us. If you email us, we process your address and message only to reply.
The site has no advertising, does no profiling and sells no data to anyone.
Purposes and legal basis
- Running and securing the site: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
- Statistics with Google Analytics: consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time from “Cookie preferences” at the bottom of every page.
- Replying to emails: your request and legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f)).
Who processes data on our behalf
- Hostinger International Ltd. hosts the site on servers in Germany (European Union).
- Google Ireland Ltd. provides Google Analytics, only if you consent. Google may transfer data to the United States under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, to which Google is certified. Google Analytics 4 does not log IP addresses. We keep Google Analytics data for 14 months. Google Privacy Policy.
Weather forecasts come from MET Norway and are requested by our server, not by your browser: none of your data reaches MET Norway.
Affiliate links
Some links lead to Booking.com and GetYourGuide and contain our affiliate code. If you book, we earn a small commission at no cost to you. When you click you leave our site, and Booking.com’s or GetYourGuide’s privacy and cookie policies apply. We receive no personal data from them, only the total of commissions.
How long we keep data
- Browsing data: as long as the hosting provider keeps its logs, usually a few days or weeks.
- Google Analytics: 14 months.
- Emails: as long as needed to reply.
Your rights
You can ask at any time to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to processing, and to receive your data in a portable format (Articles 15–22 GDPR). Just write to federicobertaina@gmail.com. If you believe your data is being processed unlawfully you can lodge a complaint with the Italian supervisory authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali, or with the authority in your country.
Cookies
The cookies we use and how to manage them are explained in the Cookie policy. You can change your choices under Cookie preferences.
Changes
If we change this policy we update the date at the top of the page.
