Privacy Policy
This policy describes how ExplorerHub handles the personal data of website visitors, in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).

The data controller is IDCERT S.r.l. (Institute for Digital Certification), with registered office in Italy. For any request regarding the processing of personal data, please write to:
privacy@explorerhub.euData collected
ExplorerHub collects only technical browsing data (IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited) through technical cookies necessary for the website's operation. No personally identifiable data is collected, and no registration is required to use the service.
Purpose of processing
Technical data collected during browsing is processed for the following purposes: (a) ensuring the proper functioning of the website, (b) storing user preferences (language, theme, cookie consent), (c) collecting anonymous and aggregated statistics on website usage (only with explicit consent).
Legal basis
Data processing is based on the following legal bases under the GDPR: (a) Legitimate interest of the controller (Art. 6.1.f) for technical cookies necessary for the website's operation; (b) Consent of the data subject (Art. 6.1.a) for analytics and marketing cookies, which can be withdrawn at any time through the cookie settings accessible from the website footer.
Data retention
Technical browsing data is retained for the time strictly necessary for the purposes for which it is collected. Specifically: cookie and theme preferences up to 365 days from their setting; technical browsing data no longer than 12 months; GDPR consent logs for a period of 5 years, as required by regulations to demonstrate compliance.
Data subject rights
In accordance with the GDPR, users have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection. To exercise these rights, please send a request to:
privacy@explorerhub.euConsent logging
In compliance with the GDPR, ExplorerHub securely records every expression of user consent. Recorded data includes: an anonymous identifier, date and time of consent, preferences chosen (necessary, analytics, marketing), version of the privacy and cookie policy in effect at the time of consent, and action performed (acceptance, rejection, customisation, revocation). This data is retained for 5 years solely for the purpose of demonstrating regulatory compliance and is not used for any other purpose.
Third-party services
ExplorerHub uses the following third-party services: (1) Google Analytics 4, provided by Google Ireland Ltd (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), for anonymous traffic analysis — activated exclusively with the user's explicit consent, with IP address anonymisation (privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy); (2) Vercel Analytics, provided by Vercel Inc., for aggregate performance metrics — operates without cookies and without collecting personally identifiable data.
Extra-EU transfers
The website servers are located in the EU. With the user's explicit consent to analytics cookies, data collected by Google Analytics 4 may be transferred to the United States. Such transfer takes place on the basis of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (European Commission adequacy decision of 10 July 2023). Without consent to analytics cookies, no personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area.
Changes to the policy
ExplorerHub reserves the right to modify this policy at any time. In the event of substantial changes, the cookie consent banner will be automatically re-displayed to allow users to express their preferences again. Previous versions can be consulted on the Legal Document Archive page.
Contacts and DPO
For any request regarding the processing of personal data or to exercise your rights, you can contact the data controller at the email address indicated above. Pursuant to Art. 37 of the GDPR, the appointment of a DPO (Data Protection Officer) is not currently mandatory for ExplorerHub. Should this change in the future, this section will be updated.
