OUR AIM

From experience to action.

I saw how much a tablet could help my son communicate. That led to a question: how could we make that opportunity available to others?

01 / OUR STORY

It starts with “Andy”.

Andrea, known to us as “Andy”.

I’m Armando, Andrea’s dad. Through life with him, I came to know the strain, doubts and sense of helplessness that autism can bring into a family’s life. I decided to start with what I know: technology.

From a real need

Free, for everyone

The project’s tools must be available free of charge, without advertising or extra costs.

A deliberate choice

Privacy

Privacy notice for Andy’s Project. Updated on 4 November 2026.

Controller and contact

The data controller is Armando Olivieri, acting personally. For privacy questions and to exercise your rights, write to info@andysproject.org.

Contact form: data and purposes

The form collects your email, optional name, topic, message, language, receipt date and privacy notice version. This information is used to handle and answer your request. Processing is based on the controller’s legitimate interest in maintaining correspondence requested by individuals and protecting the website against abuse. Providing data is optional; an email and message are required to submit a request. Do not include diagnoses, medical reports or other health information.

Retention and access

Messages are stored on the project’s server, with names, email addresses and message text encrypted. They are accessible to the controller through a protected administration area and, only for technical needs, to infrastructure providers. Messages are not published, automatically forwarded by email or used for marketing or profiling. Automatic deletion takes place 24 months after receipt, with an hourly check; you may request earlier deletion. Backup copies rotate within 7 days and are not used for routine handling. Retention limits are applied again after a restore.

Browsing, security and cookies

Your language is part of the page address. The public website uses no cookies, advertising, analytics or tracking; fonts and images are served by this website. The administration area uses an essential sign-in cookie; sessions end after 20 minutes of inactivity or at most 8 hours. Technical error logs, which may contain network addresses, rotate within 7 days; administration audit records are kept for 90 days.

Abuse prevention

The form uses locally hosted ALTCHA: your browser performs a short computation, without visual quizzes, tracking or sending information to external services. Each check lasts at most 20 minutes and can be used once. Submission limits use a code derived from the network address; the form’s database does not retain the original IP address. Expired counters and checks are removed periodically.

Your rights

You may request access, correction or deletion of your data, restriction of processing and, where applicable law provides for it, portability. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests and lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Write to info@andysproject.org: only information necessary to verify your request will be requested. Visitors are not subject to automated decision-making.
