Who handles your data

The joint data controllers are Andrea Mari and Dennis Carlone, who work together as AD Studio, based at Via Garibaldi 25, 46019 Viadana (MN), Italy. Under Article 26 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 they decide together how the data is handled, and you can exercise your rights against either of them with a single message to the contacts below.

For anything concerning your data you can write to info@adstudio-mantova.it or call 370 336 4448. Somebody from the studio answers, not an outside service.

What data we collect

The site collects only what we need in order to answer you.

• Data you enter in the contact form: name, company if you write it, email address and the text of the message. That is four fields and they are all there are: we do not ask for a phone number, a budget or a deadline.
• Technical server data: IP address, date and time of the request, page requested and browser type. These are the ordinary operating logs that every server produces.
• Aggregated visit statistics, collected with Vercel Web Analytics: page visited, referring site, approximate country and city, operating system, browser and device type. No cookies, no identifier that follows you from one site to another, and the link between one visit and the next is discarded after twenty-four hours. The IP address is not stored.

We use no profiling cookies, we install no advertising pixels and we load no fonts or scripts from third-party servers. The site’s typefaces are hosted on our own domain.

Why we handle it, and on what legal basis

• To answer your enquiry and assess a possible commission. Legal basis: pre-contractual measures at your request, Article 6(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
• To keep the site running and secure. Legal basis: legitimate interest of the controller, Article 6(1)(f).
• To understand which pages work, through aggregated statistics without cookies. Legal basis: legitimate interest, Article 6(1)(f).

We make no automated decisions about you and do no profiling.

How long we keep it

• Contact enquiries that do not become a commission: twenty-four months from the last exchange.
• Enquiries that do become a commission: for the duration of the relationship and for the ten years that follow, as tax and civil law require.
• Technical server logs: twelve months at most.

Who else sees it

Your data is never sold and never passed on to anybody. It is handled only by the providers that let us run the site and our email, appointed as data processors under Article 28:

• Vercel Inc., which hosts the site, keeps its technical logs and stores the archive of the requests sent through the contact form. It is based in the United States: it takes part in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which the European Commission recognises as adequate, and the contract also includes the standard contractual clauses.
• Aruba S.p.A., which runs our email.

What rights you have

You may ask us at any time to give you access to your data, to correct it, to erase it, to restrict its processing, to receive it in a machine-readable format, or to object to processing founded on legitimate interest. An email to info@adstudio-mantova.it is enough: we answer within thirty days.

If you believe your data is being handled badly, you may turn to the Italian data protection authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali, garanteprivacy.it.

Whether giving your data is compulsory

It is not. But without a name, an email address and a description of the project we are not able to answer you: those are the three required fields in the form, and the company is optional.

The form has no consent checkbox, and it does not need one: by writing to us you are asking for a quote, and handling your data in order to answer is a pre-contractual measure at your request — Article 6(1)(b) above. You can still ask us to erase it at any time, and we do.
