Privacy & cookie policy

This policy explains how the personal data of visitors to ametric-strutture.com is handled, under EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR). This is a showcase site: it sells no products, requires no sign-up and uses no tracking or advertising profiling tools. The policy also covers the data processed to activate and manage licences of the AMetric Toolbox software (see the dedicated section).

Data controller

Ing. Andrea Mercurio — AMetric · VAT 04187460136

Email: mercurio@ametric-strutture.com

Data processed and purposes

• Browsing data (technical logs). For the site to work and stay secure, servers automatically record technical data such as IP address, date and time of the request and browser type. This is processed by the hosting provider to ensure stability and protection against abuse. Legal basis: legitimate interest (Art. 6.1.f GDPR).
• Data sent through the forms. When you fill in the contact form, the course pre-enrollment form or the form shown before the AMetric Toolbox download, you provide data such as name, email, optional phone and the message content. It is used only to reply to your request, handle the pre-enrollment or ask whether the software installed successfully, and is never shared with third parties for commercial purposes. Legal basis: responding to your request and pre-contractual measures (Art. 6.1.b GDPR).

AMetric Toolbox software licences

If you use the AMetric Toolbox software, activating and managing your licence involves processing the following data: email address, licence code, a technical identifier of the workstation the software is installed on (Machine ID) and the dates of activation and periodic licence checks. The Machine ID is a code derived from the computer's configuration and contains no personal information in itself.

• Purposes and legal bases. The data is processed to activate the licence, periodically verify its validity and provide support (contract performance, Art. 6.1.b GDPR), and to prevent unauthorised use of the software (legitimate interest, Art. 6.1.f GDPR).
• Retention. Licence data is kept for the duration of the licence (or trial period) and, after expiry, for as long as needed for renewals, legal obligations and the handling of possible disputes.
• Where it is stored. Licence data is stored on Google services (Google Ireland Ltd. — Google Sheets and Apps Script), acting as data processor. It is never shared with third parties for commercial purposes.

Third-party tools and providers

• Hosting and analytics — Cloudflare, Inc. The site is served through Cloudflare Pages, acting as data processor for the technical operation and security logs. Visit statistics use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which measures traffic in aggregate, anonymous form, without cookies and without collecting identifying personal data.
• Forms — Formspree, Inc. Delivery and temporary storage of the forms are handled by Formspree: submissions are delivered by email to the controller and kept for as long as needed to handle the request.
• Anti-bot check — Cloudflare Turnstile. The AMetric Toolbox download window includes a check that tells a person from an automated program, needed to prevent bulk requests and addresses created for the sole purpose of fetching the file. The check is loaded only when that window is opened and processes the IP address and some technical characteristics of the browser, for as long as the check takes. It does not profile you and is not used for advertising.
• Video — YouTube (Google Ireland Ltd.). Some pages embed videos. The player is loaded from the youtube-nocookie.com domain only after you explicitly click play: no data is sent to Google before that point. Playing a video is subject to Google's terms.
• Fonts. Typefaces are hosted directly on this site: no request is made to third-party servers (e.g. Google Fonts) to load them.

Cookies

This site uses no profiling cookies. Visit statistics are collected through Cloudflare Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and does not track users across different sites: that is why no consent banner is shown. Third-party cookies may be set by YouTube, and only if you choose to play a video, and by Cloudflare Turnstile, and only when the download window is opened: in that case they are technical security cookies, not profiling ones.

Software — why the program connects to the Internet

AMetric Toolbox periodically verifies the licence status by connecting to a service run by the controller (Google Apps Script). These checks transmit only the licence data described above: the software does not collect or transmit the contents of your projects, the files you work on or any other data on your computer.

Data transfer outside the EU

Some providers (Cloudflare, Formspree, Google) are based in the United States. Any transfers rely on the safeguards required by the GDPR, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and/or membership of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Retention period

Data sent through the forms is kept for as long as needed to handle the request and any subsequent obligations, then deleted. Technical security logs are kept for limited periods by the hosting providers.

Your rights

You can exercise the rights under Arts. 15-22 GDPR at any time — access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection — by writing to mercurio@ametric-strutture.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (garanteprivacy.it).
