Who processes the data of people who visit this site or write to Kiave, which data, why and for how long. Cookies have a page of their own, the Cookie policy.
Data controller
The data controller is Mirko Filice, known as Kiave. For any question or request about your data, you can write to info@mirkokiave.com.
What data we process and why
The site has no forms, accounts, newsletter or comments, and uses no advertising or profiling tools. It processes little personal data, and only for three reasons: to make the pages work, to count visits without recognising who makes them and to reply to people who write in. It makes no automated decisions about you and creates no profiles.
Browsing data. When you open a page, your browser sends the server some technical information: your IP address, the date and time, the page requested, the referring page, and the type of browser and device. Cloudflare, which hosts the site, records it to deliver the pages and the downloadable files (such as the FixTape zip), to protect the site from abuse and to fix any faults. We do not use it to work out who you are or to follow your browsing.
Statistics. To know how many people visit the site, which pages they read and where they come from, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics. When you open a page, a script sends Cloudflare the page address without parameters, the referring page, the type of browser, operating system and device, and the loading times; Cloudflare derives the country from your IP address. The script stores nothing in your browser, neither cookies nor any other storage, and does not assign you an identifier: we only see totals, such as the visits that came from Instagram in a week, and we cannot know who you are or follow your browsing.
Email. If you write to one of the addresses on the site (info@mirkokiave.com, live@mirkokiave.com or studiomacrobeats@gmail.com, all read by Kiave), we receive your address, your name if you give it and what you write. We use them to reply to you and, if your request leads to a concert, a workshop, a studio session or another collaboration, to organise it.
Legal basis and retention
Browsing data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in keeping the site available and secure (GDPR art. 6(1)(f)). Cloudflare keeps it only for as long as is strictly necessary for technical reasons, then deletes it.
Statistics are based on our legitimate interest in understanding how the site is used and how people find it, in order to improve it (GDPR art. 6(1)(f)). They are aggregate figures that cannot be traced back to you, and Cloudflare keeps them available for six months.
Emails are processed to reply to your request and, where necessary, to prepare or perform an agreement with you (GDPR art. 6(1)(b)). We keep them for as long as needed to handle the request and any relationship that arises from it, unless the law requires us to keep them longer, for example for tax purposes.
The external content described below loads automatically only with your consent (GDPR art. 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time from the cookie preferences.
Writing to us is your choice: without an email address, however, we cannot reply to you.
Who receives the data
The data is not sold or passed on to anyone else. It is processed on our behalf, only for the services they provide to us and as data processors, by: Cloudflare, Inc., which hosts the site, manages the domain’s DNS, delivers the downloadable files and measures visits; and the email providers.
Cloudflare is based in the United States and may also process data outside the European Union. The transfer takes place with the safeguards provided for by the GDPR: Cloudflare participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and, where necessary, uses the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
Videos, playlists and audio previews
Some content comes from other services. The Spotify playlist on the Studio page loads automatically if you have accepted external content in the cookie preferences; otherwise it does not load, and you can listen to it directly on Spotify. YouTube videos only ever load when you press “Watch the video”, from the youtube-nocookie.com domain. The 30-second track previews start with the play button, from Apple Music’s and Spotify’s servers. Until that happens, the site does not contact these services.
From that moment, the service receives your IP address and, for videos and playlists, may use its own cookies. It does so as an independent controller, under its own privacy policy: Google for YouTube, Spotify and Apple. Which cookies the site uses, and how to give or withdraw consent, is explained in the Cookie policy.
Links to social networks and music platforms open those services’ websites, which from there process data according to their own rules.
Your rights
You can ask at any time to access your data, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict its processing, to receive it in a readable format and to object to processing based on legitimate interest (GDPR arts. 15–22). Just write to info@mirkokiave.com: we reply within one month.
In practice, the only archive holding your data is our mailbox: if you have written to us, we can send you the messages we hold or delete them. Browsing data stays with Cloudflare for a short time and we do not link it to anyone, statistics are only totals that do not identify you, and your choices about cookies and language are stored only in your browser, where you can delete them yourself.
You can withdraw your consent to external content whenever you like, from “Cookie preferences” at the bottom of every page, without affecting what happened before.
If you believe your data is not being processed properly, you can lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).
Changes to this page
If the site changes, for example with a contact form or a new external service, we will update this page before switching it on. The date of the last update is at the top.
