Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
Hi there! I am Alessandra Granelli, a freelance communications consultant and designer operating this website at alessandragranelli.com.
Because I value your privacy and want to be fully transparent, this Privacy Policy explains the bare-minimum data I collect when you visit my site, why I collect it, and how I handle it. As an EU-based freelancer, my website is designed to be fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) right out of the box—without requiring annoying cookie banners.
1. Data Controller
For any questions regarding your data, you can reach me directly via the secure contact form on this website.
-
Name: Alessandra Granelli
-
Location: European Union
2. What Data I Collect & Why
I believe in extreme data minimization. I only collect the bare minimum needed to run this website and communicate with potential clients:
-
Contact Form: If you fill out my contact form, I collect your name, email address, and any information you include in your message. I use this strictly to respond to your inquiry and discuss potential freelance projects.
-
Privacy-First Website Analytics: I use Umami Analytics to understand how visitors find my site, what countries they are from, and what pages they read. Umami does not use cookies, does not track you across other websites, and does not store any personal data or network IP addresses. All data is completely anonymized and aggregated.
3. Legal Basis for Processing
Under the GDPR, I process your data based on:
-
Your Consent: When you voluntarily fill out my contact form to message me.
-
Legitimate Interest: To look at aggregate, anonymous traffic trends so I can maintain, optimize, and protect my portfolio website.
4. Third Parties Who Process Your Data
I do not sell, rent, or trade your data. To keep this website running smoothly, I rely on a few trusted, secure services:
-
Website Hosting: Wix (wix.com) — Hosts this website and its basic technical delivery.
-
Analytics: Umami (umami.is) — Processes fully anonymized traffic statistics.
-
Email Processing: My secure email provider where contact form messages are received and read by me.
5. Data Retention
-
Inquiries: If we work together, I keep your contact information for the duration of our professional relationship. If we do not end up working together, I delete your email inquiry and contact details within 6 months.
-
Analytics Data: Because Umami does not collect personal data, there is no personal data to delete. Aggregate, non-identifiable traffic statistics are retained to track long-term website performance trends.
6. Your Rights Under GDPR
You have the right to access, correct, or request the deletion of any personal data I hold about you (which is strictly limited to the emails you send me via the contact form). To exercise these rights, simply submit a request using the contact form on this website and I will handle your request within 30 days.
