1. Scope of this notice
This notice describes how personal data may be processed when you visit the Tetraso website or contact its operator. Tetraso is a technology identity operated by Roberto Amato in Messina, Italy.
2. Data controller and contact
The data controller is Roberto Amato, operating under the Tetraso identity. Privacy-related requests may be sent to tetraso@tetraso.com. Scientific correspondence may be addressed to ramato@unime.it.
3. Data processed during browsing
The website is delivered by a hosting provider. As part of the technical operation and security of the service, server systems may process information such as IP address, request time, requested resource, browser or device information, response status and security events. Tetraso does not use these data to build commercial profiles of visitors.
4. Information you provide
If you contact Tetraso by email, the information contained in your message and the related contact details are processed to respond, assess a possible scientific or commercial relationship, maintain necessary correspondence and meet applicable legal obligations. Please do not send confidential source code, private keys, credentials or other sensitive technical material by unsolicited email.
5. Purposes and legal bases
- Operating, securing and maintaining the website: legitimate interests in providing and protecting the service.
- Responding to enquiries and conducting pre-contractual discussions: steps requested by the sender and legitimate interests in managing correspondence.
- Meeting legal or regulatory requirements: compliance with applicable obligations.
6. Cookies and analytics
Essential technical mechanisms may be used where necessary to deliver and secure the service and to remember the visitor's privacy choice. This website uses Google Analytics with measurement identifier G-LGRDQPLJCC in consent mode to obtain aggregate information about site usage. Before consent, or when analytics storage is rejected, the Google tag operates with analytics storage denied and may send cookieless measurement signals. Analytics cookies and browser identifiers used for analytics storage are enabled only after consent. Advertising storage, advertising user data, advertising personalization and Google signals remain disabled in the site configuration. The site does not use The Moneytizer or the InMobi Choice tag.
7. Consent choices
The banner provides equally accessible options to accept or reject analytics storage. The selected preference is stored locally in the browser so that the choice can be respected on later visits. The visitor may reopen Cookie settings from the footer and change the preference at any time. Rejecting analytics storage does not restrict access to the website; Google Analytics remains in denied-consent mode without setting analytics cookies.
8. Recipients and external services
Technical data may be processed by the hosting and infrastructure providers acting under their respective roles and terms. Measurement signals and, when analytics storage is accepted, relevant usage data may be processed by Google under its applicable terms and privacy information. The website also includes links to scientific publishers, DOI services, Zenodo and other third-party websites. Following a link transfers the visitor to a service governed by that service's own privacy and cookie information.
9. International transfers
Google, external services reached through links and email infrastructure may process data outside the European Economic Area. Any such processing is governed by the transfer mechanisms, safeguards and information supplied by the relevant service provider.
10. Retention
Correspondence is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant enquiry, scientific or commercial relationship, dispute management and applicable legal obligations. Technical logs are retained according to operational security needs and the hosting provider's applicable settings and policies. Analytics retention follows the settings adopted for the Google Analytics property.
11. Your rights
Subject to the conditions of applicable law, you may request access to personal data concerning you, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and data portability where applicable. Where processing is based on consent, consent may be withdrawn without affecting prior lawful processing. Requests may be sent to the contact indicated above.
12. Complaints
You may lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali, or with another competent supervisory authority.
