Privacy Policy

This site sets no tracking or advertising cookies. Visits are counted with Jetpack Stats by Automattic, which records which pages are read and works without placing cookies in your browser.

Some choices are saved in your own browser so the site remembers them, such as Walk or Fly, sound on or off, and your work in the Play products. This stays on your device and is never sent to me. You can clear it anytime in your browser settings.

The Play products, such as PS-GrvBox, PS-LqdBck, PS-RollDck, PS-AmbLab and PS-Partcls, are free to use and need no account.

• Your photos: photos you add to PS-Partcls are processed in your browser and stay on your device.
• Share links: when you share a PS-GrvBox beat, the beat pattern is saved on the site so your link works. It holds the beat only.
• Counts: each product shows totals of visits, likes and shares. To stop floods, a coded version of your connection address is kept for about one minute and then removed.
• Release news: when you ask to hear about a product release, I keep your email address and the product you chose, and send you that news.

You can subscribe to Play updates and the Sound & Color Journal in the footer, and to Journal emails from the Journal pages. I keep your email address, the topics you choose and the date you joined. Journal sign-ups also include your first name and the page where you signed up.

Emails are sent through Jetpack Newsletter by Automattic. Your subscription starts when you confirm it from the first email you receive.

Every email includes an unsubscribe link. You can also write to hi@pierosalardi.com and I’ll remove your address.

When you send a project brief from the Contact page, I receive your name, email, company, website, the services you need, budget, timeline and message. The brief arrives in my email and a copy is saved in the website’s database, which keeps the most recent 200 briefs.

When you write to hi@pierosalardi.com directly, your email stays in my inbox.

I use these details to reply to you, understand your project and prepare a quote. I keep them while we talk and work together, and delete them when you ask.

When you book a conversation through Google Calendar appointment scheduling, Google processes the details needed to arrange the meeting. You can read more in Google’s Privacy Policy.

When you like a Journal story, a coded version of your connection address and browser type is kept for up to one year, so each person counts once.

When you leave a comment, the site keeps your name, email, comment, connection address and browser type. Your name and comment appear on the page. Your email stays private.

These companies help run this website and may process limited information on my behalf:

• GoDaddy: hosts the website and its database
• Automattic (Jetpack): visit counts, newsletter, image delivery and security
• Google: appointment booking
• Vimeo: videos in some projects
• Wordfence: security firewall

Some of these providers store or process information outside Canada, including in the United States.

You can ask to see, correct or delete your personal information, or withdraw your consent, by writing to hi@pierosalardi.com. I’ll explain the next steps and any limits that apply to your request.

For a concern about how your information is handled, you can also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

The site protects your information with an encrypted connection (HTTPS), the Wordfence security firewall, limits on login attempts and a private administrator login address.

When this policy changes, I’ll update the date at the top of this page.
