Privacy

This page describes what happens to data when you visit argusappsec.com. It is short because the site is small: static pages, no accounts, no forms, no advertising, and nothing stored on your device.

Argus itself is different software, running on infrastructure you own. What it does with your code and your organization’s knowledge is documented in the user guide, and none of it passes through this website.

Who is responsible

Davide Imola is the data controller for this website. Write to [email protected] about anything on this page.

Vulnerability reports about Argus go to [email protected] instead, so that the two never sit in the same queue.

Audience measurement

The site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits. It records the page address, the referring page, your browser, operating system and device type, your screen size, your country, and how quickly the page loaded.

It does not use cookies, local storage, or anything else kept on your device. Cloudflare’s own documentation states that Web Analytics “does not use any client-side state, such as cookies or localStorage, to collect usage metrics” and does not “fingerprint individuals via their IP address, User Agent string, or any other data”. Your IP address is what makes any web request work, and Cloudflare derives your country from it before removing it as the measurement is aggregated at its edge.

Cloudflare keeps unsampled measurements for 7 days, after which they are aggregated down to roughly a 10% sample. There is no second copy anywhere: the dashboard Cloudflare provides is the only place this data exists.

The legal basis is legitimate interest, under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR: knowing which pages people read is what tells us which pages to write. Your consent is not asked for because nothing is written to your device, which is what consent for cookies exists to cover.

To opt out, block static.cloudflareinsights.com. Any content blocker does it, and the site works exactly the same without it.

Serving the site

The site is served by Cloudflare, which necessarily sees the address of every request and the IP address it came from, as any web server does. This is the same company that provides the measurement above, so counting visits introduces nobody new.

If you write to us

An email tells us your address and whatever you put in it. We use it to answer you and keep it as long as that takes. The mailbox is hosted by Apple, on iCloud Mail.

What does not happen here

• No cookies, and no consent banner, because there is nothing to consent to.
• No profiling, no automated decisions, no advertising, no data sold or shared for anyone else’s purposes.
• No tracking of you across other websites.
• No newsletter, no account, and no form to fill in.

Where data goes

Cloudflare, Inc. and Apple Inc. are both United States companies and act as processors for the two purposes above. Each does so under a data processing agreement incorporating the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.

Your rights

You can ask for access to your data, for it to be corrected or erased, for its processing to be restricted, and you can object to it. Write to the address at the top of this page.

One honest limit: the measurement data carries no identifier for you. We cannot tell which of it is yours, so there is nothing in it we could show you or delete on request. Article 11(2) of the GDPR covers exactly this case. Email is different, and rights over it work normally.

If you think this is being handled badly you can complain to the Italian supervisory authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali, or to the authority where you live.

Changes

This page lives in the repository that builds this website, so every change to it is a public commit with a date and a reason attached.
