Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 05, 2025
This website is a personal portfolio operated by Mauro Fontanari. I care about your privacy and collect only what is necessary to run the site, understand aggregate usage, and respond to messages you intentionally send.
What data I collect
If you use the contact form
- Full name, email address, and your message (you provide these)
- Anti‑spam fields: a hidden honeypot value and a render timestamp used to block bots (not intended to identify you)
- Technical metadata added server‑side on receipt: IP address and user agent
When you submit, your message is forwarded to me via a Discord webhook so I can read and respond. No marketing emails are sent and your data is not sold.
When you browse the site
I use Vercel Analytics to capture privacy‑friendly, aggregate metrics (page views, performance, basic engagement). Vercel Analytics does not use cookies and does not collect personally identifying information for me. See Vercel’s documentation for details.
How I use the data
- Respond to your contact messages
- Prevent spam and abuse (honeypot, minimal timing checks, rate limiting)
- Measure site traffic and performance in aggregate
Legal bases (EU/UK visitors)
- Contact messages: legitimate interest (to respond) or consent (because you choose to send)
- Anti‑spam and rate limiting: legitimate interest
- Analytics: legitimate interest in improving the site using aggregate, cookie‑less measurements
Sharing and processors
- Hosting and analytics are provided by Vercel. Analytics data is processed by Vercel Analytics in aggregate form.
- Contact messages are transmitted to my Discord account via a Discord webhook so I can receive notifications.
- I do not share data with advertisers and I do not sell personal data.
Retention
- Contact messages: kept as long as needed to handle your inquiry and for reasonable record‑keeping in my Discord message history, after which I delete them where practicable.
- Anti‑spam timing values are transient; rate‑limit counters are temporary in‑memory values.
- Analytics: only aggregate metrics are retained by Vercel per their policies.
Security
Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used (for example, minimal collection, HTTPS, rate limiting). No method is 100% secure, but I aim to collect the least amount of data needed.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact me at the email below.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 13. I do not knowingly collect data from children.
Changes
I may update this policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
