This Privacy Policy explains how Fabrizio de Liberali (“I”, “me”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit fabrizio.deliberali.com (the “Site”).
I take your privacy seriously. This site exists to share ideas — not to harvest your data.
1. Who I Am
Data controller: Fabrizio de Liberali
Based in: Winchester, United Kingdom
Contact: fabrizio@deliberali.com
Website: fabrizio.deliberali.com
2. What Data I Collect and Why
a) Data you give me voluntarily
If you subscribe to Fab’s Friday Field Notes or Monday Momentum, I collect your email address. I use this solely to send you the newsletter you signed up for. I do not sell, rent, or share your email with third parties.
b) Data collected automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical data when you visit: your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time of visit. This is used only to understand how the site is used and to keep it running properly.
c) Comments
If you leave a comment on a post, I collect the data shown in the comment form (name, email, and website), plus your IP address and browser user agent, to help with spam detection. An anonymised string created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: automattic.com/privacy/
3. Cookies
This site uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — for the following purposes:
- Essential cookies: Required for the site to function (e.g. WordPress session cookies if you post a comment).
- Analytics cookies: If analytics are enabled (e.g. via WordPress Stats / Jetpack), these help me understand how visitors use the site. No personally identifiable information is collected for analytics purposes.
You can control cookies through your browser settings at any time.
4. Newsletter (Email Subscription)
If you subscribe to my newsletter, your email is stored and processed via Kit (formerly ConvertKit). You can unsubscribe at any time via the link included in every email. I will promptly remove your data upon request.
5. Third-Party Services
This site may include links to or content from third-party services (LinkedIn, Vimeo, Spotify, etc.). I am not responsible for the privacy practices of those services. Please review their policies directly.
6. Your Rights (UK GDPR / GDPR)
If you are based in the UK or the European Economic Area, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data I hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”)
- Object to or restrict how I process your data
- Data portability (receive your data in a portable format)
- Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent
To exercise any of these rights, contact me at fabrizio@deliberali.com. I will respond within 30 days.
If you are not satisfied with how I handle your request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the UK: ico.org.uk, or your local data protection authority if you are in the EEA.
7. Data Retention
I retain email subscription data for as long as you remain subscribed. I retain comment data for as long as the comment is published. You can request deletion at any time.
8. Changes to This Policy
I may update this policy occasionally. The “last updated” date at the top of this page will always reflect the current version. Significant changes will be noted in the newsletter.
