The controller of personal data processed via https://istio.com (the “Site”) is the operator of istio.com. Contact for privacy matters: contactistio@gmail.com.

This policy is drafted with regard to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), where it applies to visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA) and other cases in which EU data-protection rules apply.

2. Data we process

2.1. Email address, if you provide it voluntarily (for example when contacting us).

2.2. Technical and statistical data that is anonymous or pseudonymised (including cookies), collected via analytics tools (e.g. Google Analytics, Yandex Metrica), subject to your browser settings.

2.3. Texts and images you submit to the Site’s tools are processed to provide the requested service and are not used to profile you for marketing.

• respond to user enquiries (consent and/or legitimate interests);
• measure and improve how the Site works (legitimate interests);
• send service-related notices only where a valid legal basis exists, with the right to object or withdraw consent at any time.

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above. We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data against unauthorised access, loss or alteration.

5. Recipients and transfers

We do not sell personal data. Data may be shared with technical providers (hosting, analytics) only as needed to run the Site. Transfers outside the EEA, if any, rely on appropriate safeguards required by applicable law (for example standard contractual clauses).
