What data we collect

  • Emails you send us: your email address, your name and whatever you choose to write, such as your company and your request.
  • Technical data: like any website, our hosting provider records technical logs (such as IP address, date and time, page requested) needed to deliver the site and keep it secure.

Why we use it and on what legal basis

We use the data you send us only to reply to your request and, where relevant, to prepare a proposal. The legal basis is the handling of your request at your initiative and pre-contractual measures (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Technical data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in running a secure website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

We do not use your data for newsletters or marketing, and we do not sell it.

How long we keep it

Requests and related emails are kept for 24 months after our last exchange, unless a working relationship starts, in which case the retention periods required by tax and accounting law apply.

Who processes it

  • Register.it S.p.A. — website hosting and email, as data processor.
  • Google Ireland Ltd. — the site loads its typeface from Google Fonts; your browser connects to Google's servers, which receive your IP address.

Cookies

This website does not use cookies or tracking tools such as analytics or advertising pixels.

Your rights

You can ask at any time to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to receive it in a portable format (Articles 15–22 GDPR), by writing to info@underdogstudio.it.
