Information automatically collected In Short: Some information — such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or browser and device characteristics — is collected automatically when you visit my Services.
I automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Services. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use my Services, and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of my Services, and for my internal analytics and reporting purposes.
Like many professionals, I also collect information through cookies and similar technologies. For more information about this, you can consult my Cookie Policy: https://francescasegato.com/cookie-policy/.
The information I collect includes:
Log and Usage Data. Log and usage data is service-related, diagnostic, usage, and performance information our servers automatically collect when you access or use my Services and which we record in log files. Depending on how you interact with me, this log data may include your IP address, device information, browser type, and settings and information about your activity in the Services (such as the date/time stamps associated with your usage, pages and files viewed, searches, and other actions you take), device event information (such as system activity, error reports, and hardware settings).

Depending on the device used, this device data may include information such as your IP address (or proxy server), device identification numbers, location, browser type, hardware model, Internet service provider, and operating system.
Location Data. I collect location data such as information about your device’s location, which can be either precise or imprecise. How much information I collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use to access the Services. For example, I may use your IP address to determine your general location. You can opt out of allowing me to collect this information either by refusing access to the information or by disabling your Location setting on your device. However, if you choose to opt out, you may not be able to use certain aspects of the Services.
In Short: I process your information to provide, improve, and administer my Services, to communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention reasons, and to comply with the law. I may also process your information for other purposes with your consent.
I process your personal information for a range of reasons, depending on how you interact with my Services, including:
To deliver and facilitate the delivery of services to the user. I may process your information to provide you with the requested service.
To respond to user inquiries/offer support. I may process your information to respond to your inquiries and resolve any potential issues you might have with the requested service.
To send marketing and promotional communications. I may process the personal information you send to me for my marketing purposes, if this is in accordance with your preferences. You can opt out of my marketing emails at any time.
To protect my Services. I may process your information as part of my efforts to keep my Services safe and secure, including fraud monitoring and prevention.
To identify usage trends. I may process information about how you use my Services to better understand how they are being used so I can improve them.
To safeguard or protect a person’s vital interests. I may process your information when necessary to protect an individual’s vital interests, such as to prevent harm.
In Short: I only process your personal information when I believe it is necessary and I have a valid legal reason (i.e., legal basis) to do so under applicable law, such as with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to enter into or fulfil my contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to meet my legitimate professional interests.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require me to explain the valid legal bases I rely on to process your personal information. Therefore, I may rely on the following legal bases:
Consent. I may process your information if you have given me permission (i.e., consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
Performance of a Contract. I may process your personal information when I believe it is necessary to fulfil my contractual obligations to you, including providing my Services or at your request prior to entering into a contract with you.
Legitimate Interests. I may process your information when I believe it is reasonably necessary to achieve my legitimate professional interests, provided those interests do not override your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, I may process your personal information to:
Send users information about special offers and discounts on my products and services;
Analyse how my Services are used so I can improve them to engage and retain users;
Diagnose problems and/or prevent fraudulent activities.
Legal Obligations. I may process your information where I believe it is necessary for compliance with my legal obligations, such as to cooperate with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend my legal rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which I am involved.
Vital Interests. I may process your information where I believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.
In Short: I may share information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the following third parties.
Vendors, Consultants, and Other Third-Party Service Providers. I may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or partners (“third parties”) who perform services for me or on my behalf and require access to such information to do their work. I have entered into agreements with these third parties designed to protect your personal information. This means they cannot process your personal information unless I have instructed them to do so. Furthermore, they will not share your personal information with any organisation other than my business. They also commit to protecting the data they hold on my behalf and to retaining it for the period I specify.
The third parties with whom I may share personal information are as follows:
Web and Mobile Analytics: Google Analytics
Advertising, Direct Marketing, and Lead Generation: Moosend
Data Backup and Security: Google reCAPTCHA
I may also need to share your personal information in the following situations:
Business Transfers. I may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any sale of business units, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of my professional business by another individual or company.
In Short: I may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information.
I may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and pixels) to collect information when you interact with my Services. Some online tracking technologies help me maintain the security of my Services, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences, and assist with basic site functions.
I also allow third parties and service providers to use online tracking technologies on my Services for analytics and advertising, including to help manage and display advertisements, to tailor ads to the user’s interests, or to send abandoned cart reminders (depending on the user’s communication preferences). These third parties and service providers use their technology to provide advertising for products and services tailored to the user’s interests, which may appear on my Services or other websites.
Specific information on how I use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in my Cookie Policy: https://francescasegato.com/cookie-policy/.
Google Analytics. I may share your information with Google Analytics to track and analyze the use of the Services. To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across the Services, you can visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. For more information on Google’s privacy practices, please refer to the Google Privacy & Terms page.
In Short: I keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless otherwise required by law.
I will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this policy will require me to keep your personal information for longer than necessary to fulfil the described purposes, unless contrary legal obligations apply.
When I have no ongoing legitimate professional need to process your personal information, I will either delete or anonymise such information. If this is not technically possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then I will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
In Short: I aim to protect your personal information through a system of organisational and technical security measures.
I have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organisational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information I process. However, despite my efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, I cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorised third parties will not be able to defeat my security and improperly collect, access, or modify your information. Although I will do my best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from my Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.
In Short: I do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.
I do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If I learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, I will take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from my records. If you become aware of any data I may have collected from children under age 18, please contact me at help@francescasegato.com.
In Short: In some regions, such as the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK), and Switzerland, you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information. You may review, change, or request the deletion of your data at any time.
In certain regions (like the EEA, UK, and Switzerland), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right to:
Request access and obtain a copy of your personal information;
Request rectification or erasure;
Restrict the processing of your personal information;
If applicable, request data portability;
Not be subject to automated decision-making.
In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. You can make such a request by contacting me using the contact details provided. I will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
If you are located in the EEA or UK and you believe I am unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your Member State data protection authority or the UK data protection authority.
If you are located in Switzerland, you may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.
Withdrawing your consent: If I am relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting me using the contact details provided. However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
Opting out of marketing and promotional communications: You can unsubscribe from my marketing communications at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails I send, or by contacting me directly. You will then be removed from the marketing lists. However, I may still communicate with you for non-marketing purposes, such as sending messages necessary for the administration of the requested services or to respond to your support requests.
Cookies and similar technologies: Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. This could affect certain features of my Services. For further information, please see my Cookie Policy: https://francescasegato.com/cookie-policy/.
If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you can email me at help@francescasegato.com.
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognising and implementing DNT signals has been finalised. As such, I do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that I must follow in the future, I will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.
In Short: Yes, I will update this notice as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated “Revised” date at the top of the document. If I make material changes, I may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. I encourage you to review this notice frequently to be informed of how I am protecting your information.
If you have questions or comments about this notice, you may email me at help@francescasegato.com or contact me by mail at:
