Privacy Policy

Our Identity

Our official website is located at https://www.alessiamessinamilano.com/.

Visitor Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data entered into the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser details, to assist with spam detection.

Your email address may be used to generate an anonymized string (known as a hash), which may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media Uploads

If you upload images to our website, please avoid including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may download and extract location data from any images displayed on the website.

Cookie Usage

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience, allowing you to avoid re-entering your details for future comments. These cookies will last for one year.

When visiting our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded once you close your browser.

Upon logging in, we will set several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” will keep you logged in for two weeks. Logging out will remove login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content

Our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. This embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you are logged into their website.

Data Sharing

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Data Retention

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. Registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also access and modify this information.

Data Rights

If you have an account or have left comments on our site, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided to us. You may also request that we delete your personal data. This excludes any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Data Transfers

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
