EDGES MEDICINE & RESEARCH
Privacy & Cookie Policy
Last updated: 18 September 2026
This notice explains how personal data is handled when you visit edgesmed.com or contact EDGES Medicine & Research. It covers this website and initial professional enquiries. Clinical care, research participation and commissioned services may require separate information appropriate to the activity.
1. Data controller and contact
The data controller is Matteo Paganini, operating EDGES Medicine & Research. For questions about this notice or to exercise your data protection rights, contact info@edgesmed.com.
2. Information we process
When you browse the website, the hosting infrastructure processes technical information needed to deliver and protect the service. This may include IP address, date and time of a request, requested page, browser information, and technical error or security records.
When you contact us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include, such as your name, role, organisation, the subject of your enquiry and any attachments. Contact buttons open your email application; the website does not provide a contact form.
Please share only information relevant to your request. This website is not an emergency care channel: do not send urgent clinical requests or identifiable patient information. Where an activity requires sensitive information, appropriate arrangements and a specific privacy notice should be established first.
3. Why we use information
- To deliver, maintain and protect the website, including investigating faults and preventing abuse. This is based on legitimate interests in operating a reliable and secure website.
- To respond to a request for a quotation or take steps towards a service contract at your request.
- To answer general scientific or professional enquiries and maintain relevant correspondence. This is based on legitimate interests in responding to those enquiries.
- To meet applicable legal obligations, where relevant.
The current website has no newsletter subscription, visitor accounts, public comment forms, advertising or audience analytics integration.
4. Service providers and transfers
The website is hosted by Aruba. Hosting and technical service providers may process information needed to operate and secure the website. Email correspondence is processed through Google Workspace. Access is limited to people and suppliers who need the information for the relevant purpose. Professional advisers or public authorities may receive information where necessary to meet legal obligations or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Some providers may process information outside the European Economic Area. Where this occurs, the relevant provider is required to use appropriate safeguards under applicable data-protection law.
5. Retention
General professional enquiries and quotations that do not lead to an engagement are retained for up to 3 years after the last substantive contact, unless longer retention is required by law or is necessary in connection with an engagement or legal claim. Correspondence that becomes part of an engagement is retained for the relevant engagement and any applicable legal retention or claims period. Hosting and security records are retained in accordance with the relevant provider configuration and security needs.
6. Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may request access to your data, correction, erasure or restriction of processing, and data portability where applicable. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests on grounds relating to your particular situation. Contact info@edgesmed.com to make a request. You may also complain to the Italian Data Protection Authority or another competent supervisory authority.
7. Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of information stored by your browser. This website uses only technical cookies necessary for the requested service, including restricted administrator login functions. It does not use advertising or audience-measurement cookies.
The website uses locally hosted fonts and images. Links to publication databases, author profiles and partner websites are ordinary links rather than embedded widgets. When you follow one of these links, the destination service handles your visit under its own privacy and cookie notices.
Because the website uses only necessary technical cookies, no consent banner is used. You can block or remove cookies through your browser settings; blocking necessary cookies may prevent administrator login or other requested functions. If optional tracking is introduced, this notice and the relevant consent controls will be updated before it is enabled.
8. Changes to this notice
This notice will be updated when the website or relevant processing arrangements change. The date at the top identifies the current version.
