Who processes your data

The data controller is IZILab S.r.l. (hereinafter IZILab), with registered office at Viale di Augusto 132, 80125 Naples, Italy, VAT number and tax code 10322611210, registered in the Naples Companies Register (REA NA-1097195). For any privacy question you can write to info@izilab.it or, for formal communications, to the certified email (PEC) address izilab@legalmail.it.

What this site is

izilab.it is a site presenting and disseminating IZILab's research activity. It does not offer registration, restricted areas, newsletters, advertising or user profiling.

What data we process and why

Browsing data

The systems that run the site collect, in the course of normal operation, some data that Internet protocols transmit implicitly: IP address, browser and device type, operating system, pages requested, date and time of the request, outcome. We use these technical logs to ensure the site works and is secure. Legal basis: the controller's legitimate interest in the security and proper functioning of the site (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). They are kept for the time strictly necessary for these purposes, in line with the hosting provider's log retention policies.

Usage and performance statistics

The hosting platform's Visitor analytics service records page visits (path, referrer and browser user agent string) and performance metrics (FCP, LCP, CLS, INP and TTFB), with a session identifier. The IP address is visible to the technical servers handling the request. The purpose is aggregate statistics on site usage and performance monitoring. These data are not used for profiling or advertising and are not combined with other data. Legal basis: the controller's legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Event retention depends on the provider's policies; information can be requested at info@izilab.it.

Data you send us

The form on the Contact page does not store or transmit the data you enter: it prepares an email message in your mail program, addressed to info@izilab.it, which is sent only if you send it. When you write to us, we process the data in the message (name, email address, organisation, content of the request) to reply to you and, if you ask, to organise a demo or a meeting. Legal basis: performance of pre-contractual measures taken at your request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and, for general enquiries, legitimate interest in replying (Art. 6(1)(f)). Providing the data is optional, but without it we cannot reply. We keep messages for the time needed to follow up the request and for any legal obligations and, if a relationship begins, for its duration.

Who we share data with

We do not sell data and we do not disseminate it. Authorised persons within IZILab and IT service providers acting as data processors (for example hosting and email) may access it, for the stated purposes. These include Lovable for hosting and analytics, with its subprocessors, and Cloudflare for the site's content delivery network and security. The up-to-date list of processors can be requested at info@izilab.it. Data may be disclosed to public authorities when the law requires it.

Third-party services and sites

To display the pages correctly, the site loads files, such as images and typefaces, through the hosting service and content delivery network. Lovable provides hosting and analytics; Cloudflare provides content delivery and security. On all pages, the Visitor analytics script (/~flock.js), with data-proxy-url="/~api/analytics", sends events from the browser to an endpoint on our own domain. They are processed by Lovable and its subprocessors for the purposes described above. Technical servers receive the IP address and request details. There are no other third-party analytics or marketing services. The site also contains links to third-party sites (for example LinkedIn, the Association of Professional Futurists, the Futures Thinking Hub) which have their own notices and which IZILab does not control.

Transfers outside the European Economic Area

Service providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Any transfers must comply with Chapter V of the GDPR and the applicable safeguards. Information on processing locations and any transfers and safeguards can be requested at info@izilab.it.

You can ask us at any time for:

• —access to your data and information about how it is processed
• —rectification of inaccurate data or its completion
• —erasure of data, in the cases provided for by law
• —restriction of processing
• —portability of the data you have provided to us
• —objection to processing based on legitimate interest

If processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before. To exercise your rights write to info@izilab.it. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian data protection authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali, Piazza Venezia 11, 00187 Rome, www.garanteprivacy.it).

Minors

The site is not aimed at minors and IZILab does not knowingly collect their personal data.

Cookies and local storage

A cookie is a small text file that a site saves on the device of the person visiting it. Similar technologies, such as the browser's local storage, serve the same purpose.

What this site uses

Technical tools (necessary). The site uses Cloudflare's __cf_bm cookie to protect against automated traffic. To remember your choice on the cookie banner it uses the browser's local storage. These technical tools do not require your consent.

Analytics and marketing tools. We use Lovable's Visitor analytics service for aggregate usage and performance statistics, with the first-party session-id cookie lasting 30 minutes and used only over HTTPS to group page views within the same visit. These statistics are active by default on the basis of legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), are not used for profiling or advertising and are not combined with other data. They cannot be disabled from the preferences panel; you can block them in your browser settings. We use no other third-party analytics or marketing services. Any future optional marketing tools will be loaded only after your consent, and this notice will be updated.

How to manage your preferences

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time from the “Cookie preferences” link at the bottom of every page for optional tools. Hosting statistics remain active and cannot be disabled from that panel. You can block or delete cookies and local data from your browser settings. The banner is shown again after six months, or earlier if the tools used change.

Changes to this notice

We may update this notice, for example if the site's features or the law change. The latest version is always available on this page, with the update date at the top.
