About this privacy policy
This privacy policy explains how we (Website Maintenance Team) collect, use, share and transfer your personal data when you use the services provided on this site (f-masserini.eu).
Personal data is any information about you by which you can be identified. This can include information such as:
- your name, date of birth, email address, postal address, phone number, mobile number;
- debit card details;
- information about your device (such as the IP address, which is a numerical code to identify your device that can provide information about the country, region or city where you are based);
- and information relating to your personal circumstances and how you use my site and services.
Who we are and how to contact us
The data controller for this site is Fabrizio Masserini, via Crespi 15 - Albino (BG) - Italy. This means that he is responsible for deciding how and why we hold and use your personal data. If you want to contact us, you can find our contact details in the “Contact us” page.
What personal data we collect and how we use it
We collect personal data when you sign up for our services and when you browse this site.
When you register for an account on f-masserini.eu we collect:
- your name;
- your email address;
- and some limited data from your social media profile (further information on this is below) if you have signed in to f-masserini.eu using your social media details.
You can choose to add a username to your profile page and you can use this when posting content or comments on this site.
When you register for an account, we assign you a unique ID number that we use to recognise you when you are signed in to our services. This will recognise you if you sign in using the same account on a new device or through a different application.
When you use this site we may also use cookies or similar technology to collect extra data, including:
- your IP address - a numerical code to identify your device and which can provide information about the country, region or city where you are based;
- your browsing history of the content you have visited on this site, including information on how you were referred to this site via another website;
- and details of your devices, for example, the unique device ID, unique advertising ID and browsers used to access our content.
Some of our services, such as “Settings”, may give you the option of providing more information about your preferences, so that we can tailor your experience. Signing up for membership or a subscription may also mean you need to provide other details.
We will not collect special categories of data - such as information about your race, political opinions, religion, health or sexual orientation.
Using your social media details to sign into your f-masserini.eu account
When you sign in to this site using your Facebook login details, you give permission to Facebook to share with us your email address and certain aspects of your Facebook profile if you have made these public on your Facebook profile. This only includes your first and last name, age range, link to your Facebook profile and profile picture. We do not have access to updates on your Facebook profile.
If you use your Google login details, you give Google permission to share the information that you have made public in your Google profile. This only includes your first and last name, your email address and whether your email address has been validated, your age range, a link to your Google profile and, if you have one, your profile picture.

We will then use this information to form a profile for your f-masserini.eu account.

However, we will still have the information that we received when you first set up your f-masserini.eu account using your Facebook or Google or Twitter login.

- Consent: For example, where you have provided your consent to receive emails from us. You can withdraw your consent at any time. In the case of emails you can withdraw your consent by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of the email or through your email preferences in the “emails preferences” section, when signed into your f-masserini.eu account.

Updating your personal data and your profile page on this site
When you register for an account with f-masserini.eu, you have access to a profile page. Under “edit profile” you can review what information is public if people look up your profile. You can also update your information or provide extra information if you want.

Using children’s personal data
We do not aim any of our services directly at children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal data about children under 13.
Security of your personal data
We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational controls to protect your personal data against unauthorised processing and against accidental loss, damage or destruction. You are responsible for choosing a secure password when we ask you to set up a password to access parts of this site. You should keep this password confidential and you should choose a password that you do not use on any other site. You should not share your password with anyone else, including anyone who works for us. Unfortunately, sending information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data once with us, we cannot guarantee the security of any personal data sent to our site while still in transit and so you provide it at your own risk.
Who we share your personal data with
We do not share your personal data with other people or organisations that are not directly linked to us except under the following circumstances:
- We may reveal your personal data to any law enforcement agency, court, regulator, government authority or other organisation if we are required to do so to meet a legal or regulatory obligation, or otherwise to protect our rights or the rights of anyone else.
Any organisations which access your data in the course of providing services on our behalf will be governed by strict contractual restrictions to make sure that they protect your data and keep to all data privacy laws that apply. We may also independently audit these service providers to make sure that they meet our standards.
We will not share your personal data with anyone else for other purposes unless we have your permission to do this.
International data transfers
Data we collect is stored in the European Economic Area (EEA) with hight standards of data protection.
We do not transfer your personal data outside the EEA.
How long we keep your personal data
We keep your personal data for only as long as we need to. How long we need your personal data depends on what we are using it for, as set out in this privacy policy. We may also need to keep your personal data for accounting purposes. If we no longer need your data, we will delete it or make it anonymous by removing all details that identify you. If we have asked for your permission to process your personal data and we have no other lawful grounds to continue with that processing, and you withdraw your permission, we will delete your personal data. However, when you unsubscribe from email communications, we will keep your email address to ensure that we do not send you any in future.
How we may contact you

From time to time we may send you service emails.
