How we found you

You received an email from us and never asked for one. This page says where your address came from, why you were picked, who else sees it, how long it is kept, and how to make it stop — in italiano.

1Who wrote to you

Simone Panini (Software developer), trading as Esteta di Panini Simone, established in Italy — VAT 04241900366 — is the data controller for everything described here. The service the email was about is InTheClips.

Anything on this page, including a request about your own data, goes to intheclips.business@gmail.com. A reply to the email you received reaches the same person.

This is not the privacy policy. That one — /legal/privacy — is about people who opened an account and gave us their details. You did neither. Different data, a different source, a different legal basis: it needed its own page rather than a paragraph inside somebody else’s.

2What we hold about you

Your professional email address — the one you publish as a point of contact.
The name of your channel or show.
Public publishing facts: how many videos you posted in the last 90 days, how long they typically run, when you last published, how many subscribers you have.
The address of your site and your public social profiles.

No special categories of data. No profiling. We do not track whether you opened the message or clicked anything in it: our emails carry no tracking pixel and no rewritten links.

3Where it came from

We did not collect any of it from you. There are three sources, all public, and the first email tells you which of the three is yours — art. 14.2.f asks for the source, and naming the general possibility rather than your actual one would be a way of answering without answering.

The public RSS feed of your podcast, in the field meant for the owner’s contact address (<itunes:owner>).
The public contact page of your own site.
The public description of your YouTube channel, or your video notes, read through the official YouTube Data API.

Nothing was bought from a data broker, and nothing was taken by getting around a technical protection, a login or a rate limit.

4Why you, specifically

To offer you a tool that matches what you publish: a platform that pulls vertical clips out of long videos. You were selected because you publish long videos regularly and publish few or no clips — criteria anyone can check against your own public output, including you.

That is also why the first email contains your numbers rather than a slogan. A message that could have been sent to anybody is advertising; this one cannot have been.

5On what legal basis

Art. 6.1.f GDPR, legitimate interest: the interest in offering a professional tool to people who do the work the tool is for. Recital 47 names direct marketing among the purposes that can rest on this basis.

Before the first email went out we wrote a legitimate interest assessment weighing that interest against your rights, and dated it. You can ask us for a copy at intheclips.business@gmail.com — it is not published, but it is not secret either.

7How long it is kept

24 months from the last contact, then deleted.

The one exception, and it works in your favour. If you object, your address goes on a suppression list kept indefinitely. That sounds like the opposite of deleting you, and it is — deliberately. It is the only way to be sure you are never written to again: an address that is simply erased can be found by the same public source a year later and look new. The list holds the address and nothing else, and is used for nothing but keeping you off the next one.

8What you can ask for

At any time, by writing to intheclips.business@gmail.com or simply replying to the email you received:

Access to the data concerning you.
Rectification of anything inaccurate.
Erasure.
Restriction of the processing.
Portability.

And above all, the right to object — art. 21. You can object to this processing at any time. Where the objection concerns direct marketing, as it does here, it is absolute: there is no balancing to be done and no interest of ours to weigh against it. We stop, and we stop immediately.

Replying to any email from us and saying you do not want to be contacted is enough. No form, no account, no reason required, and no reply needed from you after that.

9If you think this is wrong

You can complain to the Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali, the supervisory authority for Italy — www.garanteprivacy.it. You can do that whether or not you have written to us first, though writing to us is faster.
