Privacy policy

Last updated:

Draft. Not yet legally binding. The structure below is complete and reflects how this website actually behaves. Before publication it must be completed with the data controller's legal details (company name, registered address, VAT number) and reviewed by a qualified professional. Review at least once a year.

1. Who we are

This website is operated by [COMPANY NAME], [REGISTERED ADDRESS], VAT [VAT NUMBER] (the "data controller"). For any question about this policy you can write to info@italiarefinement.com.

2. What this website collects

This website is a static page. It does not host contact forms, it does not require registration, and it does not run analytics or advertising scripts. In normal browsing we do not collect any personal data about you.

Specifically, at the time of writing:

3. Server logs

Our hosting provider may record standard technical information for security and reliability purposes, such as IP address, browser type and time of request. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in keeping the service available and secure. [CONFIRM RETENTION PERIOD WITH HOSTING PROVIDER.]

4. Third-party content

Episode videos are not loaded automatically. A preview image is shown, and the video player is loaded from YouTube only after you click on it. When you do, YouTube receives your IP address and may process your data under its own privacy policy, over which we have no control. We use the youtube-nocookie.com domain to limit tracking as far as the platform permits.

Links to Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music, Instagram and TikTok take you to external services governed by their own privacy policies.

5. Your rights

Under the GDPR you may request access to your personal data, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, portability, and you may object to processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali). To exercise these rights, write to info@italiarefinement.com.

6. Changes to this policy

We review this policy at least once a year and whenever the website changes in a way that affects data processing. The date at the top always reflects the current version.
