You have important rights regarding your personal information. You can request to:

• Access all personal information we hold about you

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and understand how you use our platform. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help us recognize you and remember your preferences. We use both essential cookies (necessary for platform function) and optional cookies (for analytics and personalization).

Essential cookies allow you to log in and access your learning progress. Analytics cookies help us understand which communication modules are most helpful and how users navigate our platform. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit your ability to use certain features, but essential functions will remain available.

Data Security and Protection

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We use encrypted connections, secure servers, and restricted access policies to safeguard your data. Our team members are trained on privacy practices and data protection principles.

While we take security seriously, no system is completely secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and notify us immediately of any suspected unauthorized access to your account.

Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share information with service providers who assist us in operating our platform, processing payments, or providing analytics, but only under strict confidentiality agreements. Any third-party processors must comply with privacy standards equivalent to our own.

We may disclose information when legally required (court orders, regulatory requests) or to protect our rights, your safety, or others’ safety. We will not share information without your consent except as described in this policy or as required by law.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Once you delete your account, we securely delete most personal information within 90 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes. Some anonymized, aggregated data may be retained for research and improvement purposes.

Children and Minors

Our platform is designed for Italian adults seeking to develop assertiveness and communication skills. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under 18 years old. If we become aware that we have collected data from a minor, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided information should contact us immediately.

International Data Transfers

Your information is primarily stored in the European Union and processed in compliance with GDPR regulations. If we transfer data outside the EU, we implement appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions to ensure your information receives equivalent protection.

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We will notify you of material changes by updating the “Last updated” date and, when appropriate, by sending you an email notification. Your continued use of our platform following changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page regularly to stay informed about how we protect your information.
