Your privacy.

Who is responsible

This portfolio is operated by Karina Semonova, based in Italy, P.IVA: 02576950501, who is the controller of personal data processed for this portfolio and enquiries. For privacy questions or requests, email karina-semonova@yahoo.com.

When you get in touch

Email links open your email application. They do not submit a form or upload information to this website. If you send a message, I receive your email address, name if provided, message and any attachments you choose to include.

I use these details to reply and discuss your project. The legal basis is taking steps at your request before entering a contract (GDPR Article 6(1)(b)), or my legitimate interest in responding to other correspondence (Article 6(1)(f)). Providing this information is voluntary, but I need a contact address to reply. Enquiries do not subscribe you to marketing.

Technical data and service providers

The site is hosted through OpenAI’s ChatGPT Sites service, using hosting and security infrastructure including Cloudflare. Delivering and protecting the site may involve processing IP addresses, browser information, requested pages, timestamps and technical logs. This supports my legitimate interest in operating a secure, reliable portfolio (Article 6(1)(f)).

OpenAI and its infrastructure providers support site operation; Yahoo provides the mailbox used for enquiries. Relevant information may also be disclosed where legally required. The portfolio does not add advertising trackers, visitor analytics, external media embeds or a newsletter database.

Provider information: ChatGPT Sites data protection, OpenAI Data Processing Addendum, OpenAI sub-processors and Yahoo Privacy Policy.

Cookies and browser storage

The portfolio’s own code does not set cookies or store visitor information in browser storage.

The hosting platform may use technical cookies or equivalent mechanisms for access and security. These are separate from the portfolio’s animation flag. No consent-based advertising or analytics tools have been added to the portfolio.

Retention and international processing

Enquiry correspondence is retained while needed to answer your request and any resulting follow-up. If it leads to client work, relevant records are retained for the relationship and applicable legal obligations or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Unrelated information should not be included in your message.

Hosting providers manage technical records under the terms applicable to the hosting service. Sites does not guarantee storage within Italy or the European Economic Area. Hosting and email providers may process data internationally. Their applicable agreements and privacy notices explain processing locations and transfer safeguards. Contact me to request information about the safeguards relevant to your data.

Your rights

Under the GDPR, where applicable, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of your data, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. You may withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. There is no automated decision-making or profiling in the portfolio’s functionality.

Send requests to karina-semonova@yahoo.com. You may also lodge a complaint with the Italian Garante per la protezione dei dati personali or your local supervisory authority.

External websites and changes

Project links lead to separate websites with their own privacy practices. This notice will be updated when the portfolio’s processing changes.
