ANDY’S PROJECT

Our philosophy

Together we can do more.

On my own, I can offer my experience as a dad and a programmer. Together, we can bring needs, ideas and skills together and turn them into something useful.

Starting with everyday life

The first ideas came from watching Andrea: what he enjoyed, what he could do on his own and where he needed help. Those are the questions I want to keep starting with.

For me, a tool makes sense when it finds a place in someone’s life. Being able to start a game independently or having another way to communicate are goals worth working towards.

Free means free

From the beginning, I wanted to make a clear commitment: Andy’s Project tools must be free to use, without advertising or extra costs.

The project is not for profit. The resources we devote to it go towards building and improving it, while keeping the software free. That choice is part of the very reason it began.

Sharing what we know

Families, associations, professionals and support centres gain valuable experience every day. I have felt first-hand how hard it can be to find that knowledge when it is scattered across so many places.

I would like it to be easier to meet, discuss ideas and shape practical proposals. A need described by a parent can meet the skills of someone able to build a tool; one family’s experience can help another.

Valuing time and transparency

Andy’s Project began as a private initiative by my company, digitalCode Sagl, and has also grown through the time given by volunteers. Behind it are people who chose to do something for others.

That is why I want it to be clear who is behind the project and what each contribution is for. Offering your time and skills is a gesture I value deeply: it is how one dad’s idea can become a shared project.

Let’s talk.

Have you had a similar experience? Do you have an idea or a skill to share? I’d be glad to hear from you.

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.
