Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 5th, 2025

Core Principles

Your privacy is important. This website is built on a few fundamental principles:

  • We don’t ask for your personal information unless we truly need it (e.g., to respond to an email you send).
  • We don’t use profiling cookies or advertising tracking tools.
  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law or protect our rights.

Data Controller

The Data Controller can be contacted at the following email address: spacechips@spacechips.it.

Data We Collect and Why

Information You Provide Voluntarily

Contact Form ("Direct Transmission")

The website features a "Direct Transmission" contact form for your convenience. When you fill out this form and click "Transmit Message", the website uses the information you entered to construct a special link (`mailto:`).

This website does not collect, store, or process the information you enter into the form.

Activating the "Transmit Message" button will open your device's default email application (e.g., Outlook, Apple Mail, Gmail) and pre-populate a draft email. The data is transferred directly from your browser to your email client. The subsequent sending of the email is handled entirely by you and your email provider. The legal basis for the processing of the resulting email communication is your explicit consent, demonstrated by you actively sending the email.

Direct Email

If you choose to contact us directly by writing to spacechips@spacechips.it, you voluntarily send your email address and any other personal data included in your message. This data will be used exclusively to respond to your communication.

Hosting, Analytics, and Log Data

This website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. To ensure security, performance, and reliability, Cloudflare's infrastructure automatically processes information contained in web requests.

This technical data may include your IP address, the type of browser you are using, your operating system, and the pages you visit on this site. This information is inherent to how the internet works and is used by Cloudflare to protect the site from threats (like DDoS attacks), serve content efficiently from a location near you, and provide the site owner with aggregated, anonymous analytics (e.g., "how many visitors a page received").

The site owner does not have access to raw logs or any data that could personally identify a specific visitor. All analytics are in an aggregated form. For complete details, please review the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

The site is built with Astro, a static site generator which, by its nature, does not collect personal data or set tracking cookies on its own.

Cookies

This site does not directly use any profiling or tracking cookies. However, it does use strictly necessary technical cookies to ensure its proper functioning and to provide security. Below are the details:

Technical Cookies

  • Cloudflare Cookies: The Cloudflare infrastructure may use strictly necessary technical cookies (e.g., `__cflb`, `__cf_bm`) to provide its security features and traffic optimization. These cookies are essential for protecting the site from malicious attacks and ensuring performance. For more information, please consult the Cloudflare Cookie Policy.

Your Rights

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to request access to your data, as well as its correction, deletion, or restriction of processing at any time. You can exercise these rights by sending a request to spacechips@spacechips.it.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to make changes to this privacy policy at any time. The updated version will always be available on this page.
