we serve a global audience from our base in italy, and this policy applies to everyone, wherever you are. we've written it to be readable — but it's still the place where we tell you, honestly, what we do with your data. spoiler: as little as possible.
the data controller is thesmallmediacompany s.r.l., via martiri oscuri 16, 20125 milan, italy — vat IT13876460968.
privacy contact (referente privacy): alessandro facchini · dpo@thesmallmediacompany.com
we keep this short on purpose. we collect only:
what we don't collect: no accounts, no passwords, no payment data (we sell nothing on this site), no age/gender/phone, no advertising or remarketing profiles, no browsing history outside our site, no sensitive data.
we do not sell your data, and we don't use it to profile or target you.
this is an ai voice — the creator's voice, cloned, not the creator live. you're talking to a machine built to reflect you back to yourself.
you can ask us to delete your data at any time (subject to legal requirements).
we share data only with the providers that make the site work — never with advertisers or data brokers:
when you click a link to buy a book or listen elsewhere (amazon and other retailers, podcast apps, youtube), you leave our site and their privacy policies apply.
international transfers: some providers process data in the united states. where that happens, we rely on standard contractual clauses and providers with equivalent protections.
we use only essential cookies by default. analytics cookies (google analytics) load only if you accept them in our cookie banner — and you can change your mind anytime. full detail in our cookie policy.
wherever you are, we honor your right to access, correct, delete your data, withdraw consent, and opt out of communications. if you're in the eu/eea you also have the gdpr rights to restriction, portability, and objection.
to exercise any of these, email dpo@thesmallmediacompany.com. we'll respond within 30 days (or as your local law requires).
we build on the best platforms in the world precisely because their security beats anything a one-person company could build alone — encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and providers selected for strong privacy standards. no system is ever 100% secure, but we keep raising the bar.
our work is made for adults. our services are not directed to anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect their data. if you believe we have, contact us and we'll remove it.
we may update this policy. significant changes will be flagged on the site (and by email, if it's about something you subscribed to). the "last updated" date above always tells you which version you're reading.
questions, or want to exercise a right? dpo@thesmallmediacompany.com.
you also have the right to complain to the italian data protection authority (garante per la protezione dei dati personali) or your local supervisory authority.
