Privacy notice
Last updated: 3 October 2026 This is a plain-language notice, not legal advice. It has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer.
Who is responsible (data controller)
Foysal, based in Bolzano, Italy, trading as Snello under Foysal's own name. Snello is not a registered company. Contact for anything about your data: snello.contact@gmail.com.
What personal data we handle
Email enquiries only. This website has no accounts, no logins, no payments and no form that sends or stores data. The contact form only opens your own email app with a pre-filled message; nothing reaches us until you press send.
When you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you give it, your message and any attachments (for example sample documents).
Why, and on what legal basis
- To answer your enquiry and assess or prepare a project. Legal basis: steps taken at your request before entering into a contract (art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), and our legitimate interest in replying to messages we receive (art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
- We do not use your email for newsletters or marketing. If that ever changes, it would need a separate assessment and, where required, your consent.
Hosting: what GitHub logs
This site is hosted on GitHub Pages, run by GitHub, Inc. When you visit, GitHub logs visitors' IP addresses and other technical data to deliver the pages and keep the service secure. We do not receive or use these logs. See GitHub's privacy statement for details.
Who else receives data (recipients)
- GitHub, Inc. (website hosting), as above.
- Google (Gmail), our email provider, which handles messages under its applicable service terms and privacy notice.
We do not sell or share your data with anyone else.
Transfers outside the EU
Hosting and email data may be processed outside the European Economic Area. GitHub states it is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework for covered transfers and generally uses European Commission standard contractual clauses for transfers to countries without adequacy. Google describes its certification and standard clauses where required. Not every transfer uses the same mechanism. Consult these notices for safeguards and details. Provider statements checked on 2 October 2026; account arrangements and current certification scope must be confirmed before handling client documents.
How long we keep it
- Sample documents are deleted once the feasibility check is done.
- Emails are kept only as long as needed to handle your enquiry. If a contract follows, the related records are kept for as long as Italian law requires.
Client projects
When we process your documents in a project, we follow your instructions and agree in writing how the data is handled. By default nothing is sent to an AI service. If you switch on the cloud AI fallback, up to the first 6,000 characters of the extracted text go to an OpenAI-compatible provider you choose, under your own account and key. The optional Ollama fallback runs on the same machine (localhost); nothing leaves the computer. Your documents are not used to train AI.
Your rights
Under the GDPR (the EU's data protection law) you can ask to:
- see the data we hold about you (access);
- correct it;
- delete it;
- receive it in a portable format;
- restrict its use, or object to it.
Write to the address on the Contact page. You also have the right to complain to the Italian data protection authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali (garanteprivacy.it).
