I am Ryan Paul Ragnini, the operator of ryanragnini.com and the controller of personal data processed as described in this notice.

2. Information processed

Information you provide when contacting me

If you contact me by email, telephone or social media, I may receive your name, email address, telephone number, social media username, correspondence, project information and any attachments or other details you choose to share.

Please provide only information relevant to your enquiry.

Technical information

This website uses Cloudflare to host, deliver and protect its content. When you visit the website, Cloudflare processes technical information that may include your IP address, traffic routing data, system configuration information and other information about requests to and from the website.

This information is processed to deliver website content, maintain availability and protect the website against malicious traffic. Further information is available in Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy .

This website loads the Inter font from Google Fonts. When your browser requests the font files, Google may receive technical information such as your IP address and details of the request.

This website does not offer user accounts, contact forms, newsletter subscriptions or online purchases.

3. Why I use your information

I process personal information for the following purposes:

• Responding to project enquiries and preparing requested proposals: to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
• Handling other correspondence: for my legitimate interest in responding to messages and managing communications, under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
• Operating and protecting the website: for my legitimate interest in maintaining a functioning, secure website and preventing misuse, under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
• Meeting applicable legal obligations: where necessary under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

If an enquiry becomes a commissioned project, further information about relevant processing will be provided where needed.

Providing information when contacting me is voluntary. However, without sufficient contact details or project information, I may be unable to respond or prepare a proposal.

4. Service providers and recipients

Information may be processed by providers supporting the website and my communications, where necessary for those services:

• Website hosting: Cloudflare, Inc. provides hosting, delivery and protection services. Read the Cloudflare Privacy Policy .
• Email: Google's Gmail service. Information about Google's processing is available at Google's Privacy Policy.

• Social media: If you contact me through Behance, Dribbble or Instagram, the relevant platform also processes your information under its own privacy policy: Behance — Adobe Privacy Policy, Dribbble Privacy Policy, and Instagram Privacy Policy.

Information may also be disclosed to professional advisers or competent authorities where necessary to meet legal obligations or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. International transfers

The services used to deliver this website, load its web fonts and handle email enquiries may process personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including in the United States.

For these transfers, the relevant safeguards may include European Commission adequacy decisions or European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses. The EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework adequacy decision applies to transfers covered by the certification of a participating U.S. organisation.

• Cloudflare — website hosting, delivery and security: Cloudflare describes its use of Standard Contractual Clauses, supplemented where necessary by additional safeguards, and its participation in the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Further information and the contractual safeguards are available in Cloudflare’s Data Processing Addendum and its GDPR information .
• Google — Google Fonts and Gmail: Google processes information using infrastructure in various countries. Google describes its reliance on applicable adequacy decisions, including the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework for covered transfers to Google LLC, and Standard Contractual Clauses where required. Details and information on requesting a copy of the clauses are available on Google’s data transfer frameworks page .

Communications through social platforms

If you visit my profiles or contact me through Behance, Dribbble or Instagram, the relevant platform also processes your information under its own privacy policy. This may involve processing outside the EEA. Information about the platform’s international processing and applicable safeguards is available here:

• Behance — Adobe’s cross-border data transfer information
• Dribbble’s Privacy Policy
• Instagram’s Privacy Policy

You may contact me at [email protected] for further information about transfers associated with my handling of your personal information, including how to obtain a copy of applicable safeguards. For processing carried out by a social platform itself, you can also contact that platform using the privacy contact details in its policy.

6. How long information is kept

Enquiries that do not lead to a project are normally deleted within 12 months of the last meaningful communication.

If correspondence becomes part of a commissioned project, relevant records are retained for the period needed to manage that project and meet applicable legal obligations.

Specific records may be retained longer where necessary to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

Hosting and security logs are not retained in this website beyond what is necessary for immediate operational purposes.

Third-party platforms may retain information separately under their own policies.

I do not use advertising trackers or analytics tools on this website.

Email, telephone and social media links allow you to contact me through the relevant application or external service. Social media links are ordinary links rather than embedded feeds or social plugins.

8. Your rights

Subject to the conditions set by the GDPR, you may request access to your personal information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing or data portability.

You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests on grounds relating to your particular situation.

Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing.

To exercise your rights, contact [email protected]. Requests will normally be answered within one month, subject to extensions permitted by the GDPR. I may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity.

You may lodge a complaint with the Italian data protection authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali , or another competent supervisory authority.
