This website (thalesfelini.com) is operated by Thales Augusto Felini, an independent Senior Product UX/UI Designer based in Tokyo, Japan. There is no company, group or parent organisation behind it. This privacy policy explains how I use the personal data I collect from you when you use this website.
For the purposes of the EU GDPR, I am the data controller for that data, and you can reach me at thalesfelini@gmail.com.
Topics:
I collect the following data:
That is the whole list. This website sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. The counter records a visit rather than a visitor: it writes nothing to your browser, it builds no profile, and it gives me no way to identify you or to connect a page view to a message you later send. The Cookies Policy sets that out in full, including how to verify it in your browser.
I collect no special category data as defined in Article 9 of the GDPR, no financial information, and no data relating to children.
You directly provide me with most of the data I collect. I collect and process data when you:
I receive no data about you indirectly. I buy no data from brokers or list providers, and I obtain none from partner organisations.
I collect your data so that I can:
I do not sell, rent or trade your data. I share it with no partner companies, no advertising networks and no credit reference agencies. It is disclosed to a third party only where I am required to do so by law.
Under Article 6 of the EU GDPR, each purpose above rests on a named lawful basis:
Providing your data is entirely voluntary. You are under no statutory or contractual obligation to give me any personal data, and the only consequence of withholding it is that I have no way to reply to you.
Contact form submissions arrive in my email inbox and are stored there, on the servers of my email provider. That account is protected with a unique password and two-factor authentication, and the connection to this website is encrypted with HTTPS throughout.
Who else handles it. Three companies process data on my behalf, each under data processing terms that limit them to acting on my instructions, and only for the purposes set out in section 3:
I keep enquiry correspondence for 12 months from our last exchange, unless it becomes part of an ongoing professional relationship, in which case I keep it for the duration of that relationship and for 12 months afterwards. Once that period expires I delete the correspondence permanently, from the inbox and from its trash folder. Your correspondence is kept nowhere else: no database and no server log under my control. The page counts in section 1 sit apart from it; they hold no name, no email address and no message, and they are aggregate figures I cannot trace back to a person.
International transfers. Your data is stored and processed outside the European Economic Area. I am based in Japan, and the European Commission recognised Japan as providing an adequate level of data protection on 23 January 2019, so that transfer rests on an adequacy decision. The two processors above are in the United States, and those transfers rest on the safeguards set out in each company's data processing terms, which is the basis on which they serve customers in the EEA and the UK. Your data therefore keeps a level of protection essentially equivalent to the one it has under the EU GDPR.
I send no marketing. There is no mailing list, no newsletter and no promotional campaign attached to this website, and I pass your details to no one else for marketing purposes.
Where I reply about a service that is relevant to the enquiry you sent, that reply forms part of our correspondence. You have the right at any time to tell me to stop contacting you, and I will act on it immediately.
I would like to make sure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Every user is entitled to the following:
This website carries out no automated decision-making and no profiling. Nothing you submit is used to build a profile of you, to score you, or to reach a decision about you by automated means.
If you make a request, I have one month to respond to you. To exercise any of these rights, write to me at thalesfelini@gmail.com.
Cookies are text files placed on your computer to collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour information. This website sets none. It also writes nothing to your browser's local storage, session storage or IndexedDB. The page counter in section 1 is deliberately of the cookieless kind: it reports a page view and keeps nothing on your device to do it.
Because nothing is stored on your device, no consent is required under the ePrivacy Directive, which is why you are not shown a cookie banner. The Cookies Policy explains this in full and shows how to confirm it in your own browser. For further information on cookies generally, visit allaboutcookies.org.
This website loads no content from any other company. The typefaces, the icon set, the images and the video are all served from this domain, so no third party is told that you visited, and your IP address reaches no one but this website's host. The page counter is part of that host and is served from this domain as well, so it adds no other company to the list.
It does contain links out, among them LinkedIn, WhatsApp and an email service. Those requests happen only when you click. This privacy policy applies only to thalesfelini.com, so once you follow a link you should read the privacy policy of wherever you land.
I keep this privacy policy under regular review and place any update on this page. This privacy policy was last updated on 4 October 2026.
If you have any question about this privacy policy, about the data I hold on you, or if you would like to exercise one of your data protection rights, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Should you wish to report a complaint, or if you feel that I have not addressed your concern in a satisfactory manner, you may contact the supervisory authority for your jurisdiction.
