Privacy Policy — How We Handle Your Data

Last reviewed: October 30, 2026. Data Controller: Donato Scaglione — Via Stefano Oberto, 69 — 00173 — Roma (RM), Italia. Contact: admin@propfirmito.com.

This page tells you exactly what data Propfirmito collects, why we collect it, who processes it, and how you can exercise your rights under the GDPR and the Italian Personal Data Protection Code. The full legal text is generated and maintained by iubenda below — it is the document that applies. The summary at the top of this page is here to make the legal text easier to read; if anything in the summary differs from the full iubenda-hosted policy below, the iubenda version is the authoritative one.

In one paragraph

Propfirmito is an editorial site that reviews and ranks proprietary trading firms and lists negotiated discount codes. We collect very little: anonymous usage statistics through Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited) and our own click counter, both of which set cookies only after you accept “measurement” in the consent banner; the data you type into the contact form; and the comments or reviews you choose to publish. We do not sell, rent or share personal data with advertisers or data brokers, and we show no advertising. Affiliate links to partner firms exist on this site — those firms have their own privacy policies once you click through. The banner lets you refuse every non-essential tracker with one click; that choice is recorded and respected on every later page view.

What we collect, in plain English

  • Consent record — the choice you make in the cookie banner, stored by iubenda (our consent manager) as proof of consent, with the time and the version of the banner you saw.
  • Usage statistics — with your consent: pages visited, time on page, device and browser, country, referring site, processed by Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymisation.
  • Click counter — every click on a link: time, destination, page, device type, browser string, your IP address truncated to its network and then hashed, country and region derived from it; plus a visitor and a session identifier only with your consent. Identifiers are erased after 90 days, anonymous counts after 400 days. Country lookup is performed on the truncated address by ip-api.com.
  • Contact form — the name, email address and message you send us, delivered to our mailbox through Brevo (our transactional email provider) and kept only as long as the conversation needs.
  • Comments and user reviews — what you publish, the name and email you provide, and the time; the content is public, the email is not. Comments are checked for spam by Akismet (Automattic Inc.). We keep published reviews while they are useful to readers and remove them on request.
  • Giveaways — entries happen on X, not on this site. For the winner only: the X handle, kept for 12 months to document the draw and published on the giveaway page; the prize code is sent by direct message on X and no email address is requested.
  • Server logs — our hosting provider keeps standard access logs (IP address, time, page requested) for security, for a limited period.

Why, and on what legal basis

  • Consent (GDPR art. 6.1.a) — analytics and click-counter cookies, YouTube embeds.
  • Legitimate interest (art. 6.1.f) — the anonymous click count (to know which deals are used, detect fraud and reconcile partner commissions), security logs and spam filtering.
  • Performing your request (art. 6.1.b) — answering a contact-form message, publishing the review you submit.

Who processes data for us

Google Ireland Limited (Google Analytics 4, embedded YouTube players), iubenda S.r.l. (consent management and legal texts), Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, transactional email), Automattic Inc. (Akismet spam filtering), ip-api.com (country from a truncated IP address) and our hosting provider. Where a processor is outside the European Economic Area, transfers rely on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.

Your rights at a glance

Under the GDPR you can access the data we hold on you, obtain a portable copy, have it corrected or deleted, restrict or object to its processing, withdraw any consent you gave, and complain to the Italian Garante per la protezione dei dati personali. Write to admin@propfirmito.com; we answer within 30 days and never charge for these requests. To withdraw consent for cookies, use the floating cookie icon at the bottom-right of any page.
