Scope of this website
This is a personal website devoted to medicine, clinical research, data analysis, artificial intelligence, technology, and the humanities.
The website does not provide medical services and does not offer public user registration, newsletter subscriptions, contact forms, or public commenting.
Hosting and technical data
This website is hosted by Aruba. Like most hosting providers, the server may automatically process technical information necessary to deliver and secure the website, including IP addresses, request data, browser information, timestamps, and diagnostic logs.
These data are processed for purposes such as website operation, security, error detection, abuse prevention, and maintenance.
Website security
This website uses Wordfence for security and firewall protection.
Wordfence may process technical information, including IP addresses and request data, in order to detect malicious activity, block suspicious traffic, protect login areas, and maintain the security of the website.
Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the site and to improve its content, structure, and usability.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics may process information about visits to the website, such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser information, and interactions with the site. Google Analytics uses first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_* to distinguish visits and generate aggregated usage statistics. Google states that IP addresses are used during collection but are not logged or stored by Google Analytics.
Microsoft Clarity
Microsoft Clarity is used to analyze how visitors interact with the website. It may collect information about page views and interactions and uses cookies such as _clck and _clsk to associate activity across pages and sessions using pseudonymous identifiers.
Analytics cookies are classified as non-essential and are managed through the website’s cookie-consent system. Visitors can accept or reject analytics cookies and can subsequently change their preferences.
Cookies and consent management
This website uses CookieYes to manage cookie consent and visitor preferences.
On first visit, visitors are presented with a cookie banner that allows them to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Consent preferences are stored so that the website can remember the choices made.
CookieYes may set technical cookies that are necessary to record consent preferences and operate the consent mechanism.
reCAPTCHA
This website uses Google reCAPTCHA as a security measure to help protect the site from automated abuse, spam, and malicious activity.
When reCAPTCHA is active, Google may process technical information such as IP address, browser and device information, and interaction data in order to assess whether a request is made by a human user or by an automated system.
reCAPTCHA may also use technical cookies and other identifiers necessary for its security functions.
External fonts and links
This website currently uses Google Fonts to load the Inter typeface. When these fonts are loaded, the visitor’s browser may establish a connection with Google’s servers and transmit technical information such as the IP address and browser details.
The website also contains ordinary links to external services and websites, including YouTube and LinkedIn. Following these links takes the visitor to third-party websites, which process personal data according to their own privacy policies.
Direct contact by email
Visitors may contact the site owner directly by email using the addresses published on the website.
When you send an email, the information you provide — such as your email address, message content, and any other information included in the communication — is processed solely to respond to your request and manage the correspondence.
These communications are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which they were received, unless a longer retention period is required for legal or administrative reasons.
Legal basis for processing
Depending on the specific activity, personal data may be processed on the basis of:
- Consent, for non-essential cookies and analytics technologies where consent is required.
- Legitimate interests, for website operation, security, abuse prevention, and responding to communications.
- Legal obligations, where processing or retention is required by applicable law.
Data sharing and service providers

These providers include, where applicable:

International data transfers
Some service providers used by this website may process data outside the European Economic Area.
Where such transfers occur, they are handled in accordance with applicable data-protection rules and appropriate safeguards, such as adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses where required. The European Commission recognizes both adequacy decisions and SCCs as mechanisms for lawful international transfers under the GDPR.
Data retention
Personal data are retained only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which they are processed, taking into account operational, security, legal, and technical requirements.
Retention periods for cookies and analytics identifiers may vary according to the service used and are described, where available, through the website’s cookie-consent system.
