Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026
One address, one purpose, one sender. Here is exactly what happens to your email when you subscribe.
Who handles your data
Guglielmo Vaccaro, as a private individual. There is no company behind this site: the person who sends the newsletter and the person who wrote this page are the same one.
What is collected
Your email address, and nothing else. No name, no company, no location. beehiiv, the service that sends the newsletter, also records whether you opened an email and which links you clicked, so I can tell which issues were worth writing.
Why, and on what basis
To send you the newsletter, and only that. The legal basis is your consent under article 6.1.a of the GDPR, given when you submit the form and confirmed when you click the link in the confirmation email. Without that second click nothing is ever sent to you.
Who else sees it
beehiiv Inc., which sends the emails on my behalf as a data processor. Your address is never sold, rented, traded or shared with anyone else, and no advertiser receives it. Only if you accept analytics cookies, statistics about your visit also go to Google Ireland Ltd, which provides Google Analytics 4.
Where it is stored
On beehiiv servers in the United States, under the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission for transfers outside the EU. Google Analytics data may be processed by Google LLC in the United States, which is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
How long it is kept
For as long as you stay subscribed. When you unsubscribe the address is kept only as a suppression record, so that a future import cannot accidentally add you back. Ask me and I will delete it outright.
What you can ask for
Access to your data, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, and withdrawal of consent at any time. Withdrawing does not affect anything sent before. If you think your data is being mishandled you can also complain to your national data protection authority; in Italy that is the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.
How to leave
Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click, effective immediately, no questions and no confirmation step.
Cookies and tracking
This site sets no cookies of its own. If you accept in the banner, it uses Google Analytics 4, provided by Google Ireland Ltd, to collect anonymous statistics on how it is used. The Analytics cookies, _ga and _ga_ followed by the property ID, are stored only after you consent and last up to 2 years. Google Analytics 4 does not store your IP address. If you reject, no cookie is stored. Your choice stays in your browser and you can change it at any time from the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page.
