Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 27, 2026

COMM-IT ("we", "our", or "us") is operated by ECSoft. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the COMM-IT mobile application.

This Privacy Policy also covers our website (comm-it.news). If you join the pre-launch waitlist, we collect only your email address, used solely to notify you when the app launches; we do not share or sell it, and we delete it after launch or upon your request ([email protected]).

1. Information We Collect

When you create an account, we may collect:

• Email address
• First and last name
• Date of birth
• Phone number (optional)
• City of residence (optional)
• Country of residence
• Profile photo (optional)

If you sign in via a third-party provider (Google, Apple, Twitter/X), we receive only the information that provider shares with us (typically name and email).

We also collect content you create in the app, including comments and saved articles.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To create and manage your account
• To display your profile to other users
• To enable commenting and social features
• To send notifications about replies and activity (if enabled)
• To improve the app experience

Legal bases (Art. 6 GDPR): performance of the contract (your account and app features), your consent (e.g. notifications), our legitimate interest (security and abuse prevention) and compliance with legal obligations.

3. Data Storage

Your data is stored securely using Supabase (supabase.com), a third-party database provider that complies with GDPR and industry-standard security practices. Data is stored on servers within the European Union.

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active (see Account Deletion below). Technical logs and diagnostic data are kept for a maximum of 6 months.

Data controller: ECSoft by Andrea Provenzali.

In detail: account data is kept while your account is active; comments until you remove them or delete your account; reports and moderation decisions for up to 12 months (to handle appeals); technical logs for up to 6 months; backups are overwritten within 30 days.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We do not share your data with third parties except:

• Supabase (infrastructure provider)
• Authentication providers you choose (Google, Apple, Twitter/X)
• When required by law

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise these rights, contact us at: [email protected]

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your data protection authority (in Italy: the Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali).

6. Account Deletion

You can delete your account at any time from the app's Profile settings. This will permanently remove your personal data and all content associated with your account within 30 days.

7. Children's Privacy

COMM-IT is not intended for children. The minimum age to use the service is 13, or the higher age required in your country for digital consent (up to 16 in the EU, Art. 8 GDPR). We do not knowingly collect personal data below that age; if you believe this has happened, contact us and we will remove it.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via the app or by email.
