Privacy Policy

DRAFT TEMPLATE — needs legal review before publishing. The bracketed sections need your real details; a lawyer should check this is complete and correct for your jurisdiction before it goes live. The factual claims about what this site actually does (analytics, cookies, email capture) are accurate to the current codebase.

Who we are

Expat Living Italy is published by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], [REGISTERED ADDRESS]. For any privacy question, contact [PRIVACY CONTACT EMAIL].

What we collect

Analytics. This site uses Vercel Analytics, a cookieless analytics service. It does not use cookies, does not track you across other websites, and does not collect personally identifiable information. Because no cookie requiring consent is set, this site does not show a cookie banner.

Email signup. If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is collected and processed by Substack, our newsletter provider, under Substack's own privacy policy. We do not separately store or process your email address ourselves.

Contact form. [PLACEHOLDER: describe what happens to contact-form submissions — where they're sent, how long retained, who has access.]

What we don't do

We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any advertising or tracking technology that requires cookie consent. We do not sell or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Your rights

If you are in the EU/EEA or UK, you have rights under GDPR/UK GDPR including access, correction, deletion, and objection to processing of your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact [PRIVACY CONTACT EMAIL]. For newsletter subscriptions, you can also unsubscribe or manage your data directly via the link in any newsletter email or through your Substack account.
