Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2025

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable laws.

1. Data Controller

This website (wardrome.com) is operated by:

Cibernetica Gerber
Via Giuseppe Garibaldi 85
95020 Aci Bonaccorsi (CT) – Italia
Partita IVA: 05444220874
Email (for all privacy matters): ricardo@ciberneticagerber.it

If you are located in the European Union, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority. In Italy, this is the Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali (www.garanteprivacy.it).

2. Information We Collect

We may collect and process the following information when you use wardrome.com:

  • Technical data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and other basic log data collected automatically when you access our website.
  • 6. Cookies & Similar Technologies:
    This site uses cookies and similar technologies for essential functions, and—where consented—for analytics and advertising. You can manage your cookie preferences directly from the cookie banner displayed on this website.
  • Membership & newsletter data: email address, subscription preferences, double opt-in confirmation, unsubscribe/suppression status, and optional email engagement data (opens/clicks) if enabled.
  • Contact data: if you contact us directly, we may process your name, email address, and the contents of your message.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your data for the following purposes:

  • To provide and maintain the website.
  • To improve content, performance, and user experience.
  • To send you emails you requested (new devlogs or deep articles) after your explicit consent.
  • To manage your membership, including confirmations and essential service notices.
  • To measure and improve our emails, using minimal analytics where enabled (you can unsubscribe at any time).
  • To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

4. Newsletters & Email Subscriptions

We offer an optional email subscription powered by our publishing platform, Ghost.

  • Frequency: we only send emails when we publish a new developer log (“devlog”) or a new in-depth article. There is no fixed schedule.
  • Consent: our sign-up uses double opt-in. After entering your email, you must confirm via a link sent to your inbox. By confirming, you consent to receive our emails about new devlogs and deep articles.
  • Unsubscribe: each email contains an Unsubscribe link. You can also contact us at ricardo@ciberneticagerber.it to request removal.
  • Retention: we keep your subscriber data until you withdraw consent (unsubscribe), or until it is no longer needed for the purposes above. Suppression records may be kept longer to ensure we do not contact you after an opt-out.
  • Third-party processing: we use Ghost and its configured email infrastructure to manage memberships and send emails. These providers act as data processors on our behalf under applicable data-processing terms.
  • International transfers: email delivery may involve processing outside the EU/EEA. Where such transfers occur, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses).
  • Email analytics: our emails may use a lightweight tracking pixel and/or tracked links to understand whether emails are delivered and useful. You can block these by disabling images, reading via the web version of the post, or unsubscribing at any time.

We rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR:

  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): for newsletters, marketing emails, and cookie-based analytics/ads (where applicable).
  • Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)): to provide the membership functionality and deliver requested services.
  • Legal obligations (Art. 6(1)(c)): where processing is necessary to comply with the law.
  • Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): for site security, fraud prevention, and essential service communications.

6. Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our site and, where consented, for analytics and advertising.

Our emails may also use a small tracking pixel to register opens and tracked links to register clicks, solely to improve deliverability and relevance. You can block these by disabling images, using text-only mode, or unsubscribing.

For details, see our Cookie Policy.

7. Data Retention

We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

  • Membership & newsletter data: until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent.
  • Technical logs: typically deleted or anonymized after a short retention period.
  • Legal or compliance data: as required by applicable law.

8. Your Rights

Under GDPR and applicable law, you have the following rights:

  • Right of access – to request a copy of your personal data.
  • Right to rectification – to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) – to request deletion of your data.
  • Right to restrict processing – to limit how we process your data.
  • Right to data portability – to receive your data in a machine-readable format.
  • Right to object – to object to processing based on legitimate interests or to direct marketing.
  • Right to withdraw consent – at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

To exercise your rights, contact us at ricardo@ciberneticagerber.it.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (in Italy: the Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali).

9. Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no system can be 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Where changes are significant, we may notify you by email (if applicable).
