1. Information you send me

When you use the contact form, you share your name, email, company name, the services you are interested in, your budget, your timeframe, your website, and your project message.

I use this information for one purpose: to reply to you and to plan and quote your project. Your information stays private. It reaches only the service providers listed in section 4, who help run this website.

Form messages are stored in the website and in my email. I keep them for as long as our conversation and project need them, and I delete them whenever you ask.

You can ask to see the personal information I hold about you, correct it, or delete it. You can also withdraw your consent at any time. Write to hi@pierosalardi.com and I will reply within 30 days.
