Last updated: 20 October 2026

Who is responsible

This is the personal website of Nicola Mandolini. For questions about information submitted through this website, please use the Contact & Connect page.

Information you choose to share

When you send a message through the contact form, the information you provide may include your name, email address, subject, and message. When you subscribe to Letters from the Captain’s Bridge, you provide your email address and information associated with your subscription and confirmation.

Why this information is used

Contact-form information is used to receive and respond to your enquiry. Newsletter information is used to manage your subscription and, once available, send occasional updates and journal entries you have requested. Newsletter subscription requires email confirmation. You may unsubscribe using the link in a newsletter email.

Service providers

The website is hosted on Vercel, which may also provide privacy-focused website analytics when enabled. Contact-form submissions are processed using Formspree, and newsletter subscriptions are handled using Brevo. These providers process information to deliver their respective services and may operate in other countries, under their own applicable privacy terms and safeguards.

Technical information and external content

Like most websites, hosting services may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser details, and request logs for operation and security. The home page requests weather information from Open-Meteo. Certain links and embedded content may connect you to external websites, including Brevo’s newsletter form and YouTube; those services may receive technical information when loaded or opened.

Cookies and tracking

This website does not use advertising trackers or behavioural advertising analytics. When Vercel Web Analytics is enabled for the active deployment, it provides aggregated, privacy-focused website usage statistics, such as page views and referrer information, without analytics cookies or identifying individual visitors. Vercel processes this information to provide the service. Embedded third-party services, including Brevo and YouTube, may use their own cookies or similar technologies, as explained in their respective notices.

Retention and your choices

Enquiry details are kept only as needed to manage correspondence and applicable obligations. Newsletter information is kept while your subscription remains active, subject to any necessary compliance records and the service provider’s retention practices. You may request access, correction, or deletion of information you have submitted by contacting Nicola through the contact form. Your rights depend on applicable data-protection law.

Updates

This notice may change if the website’s services or processing practices change. The date above will be updated when material changes are made.

For a privacy-related request, please select “Other” or the closest available subject in the contact form and state that your message concerns privacy.
