Dear User, thank you for visiting our website.

Below, we describe Aire Studio’s data processing practices regarding the personal data of users who visit the site, in accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”).

This privacy notice relates exclusively to the website https://aire-studio.co and does not apply to any other websites, pages or online services that may be accessed via hyperlinks contained within it.

This privacy notice may change over time: we invite you to check this page periodically.

The IT systems and software procedures used to operate Aire Studio automatically collect, during normal operation, certain personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols, including:

Transfer of data outside the EU (7)

Data processing takes place primarily in Italy and within the European Union. Some service providers (in particular Substack and Google Analytics) are based in the United States. In such cases, the transfer of data is ensured by one of the following legal bases:

  • the provider’s adherence to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF), recognised as adequate by the European Commission in its 2023 decision; or

  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR, where the DPF is not applicable.

Note: the former ‘Privacy Shield’ referred to in previous versions of this policy was declared invalid by the Court of Justice of the European Union in 2020 and has been replaced by the Data Privacy Framework mentioned above.

Your rights (8)

In relation to the processing of your personal data, you have the right to:

  1. withdraw your consent at any time, without this affecting the lawfulness of processing based on the consent given before withdrawal (Article 7(3) of the GDPR);

  2. request access to your personal data (Article 15 of the GDPR);

  3. have inaccurate data rectified or supplemented (Article 16 of the GDPR);

  4. have your data erased, where the legal conditions are met (Article 17 of the GDPR);

  5. to have processing restricted (Article 18 of the GDPR);

  6. to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format (data portability, Article 20 of the GDPR);

  7. to request the direct transfer of your data to another data controller, where technically feasible (Article 20 of the GDPR);

  8. to object at any time to the processing, on grounds relating to your particular situation (Article 21 of the GDPR);

  9. not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produce legal effects concerning you, unless you have given your explicit consent (Article 22 of the GDPR);

  10. lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Article 77 of the GDPR) — in Italy, the Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali — or bring the matter before the competent court (Article 79 of the GDPR).
