11. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The EVO Review Lab website exclusively uses:

  • Technical session cookies: necessary for the operation of the waitlist form (duration: browser close). They do not require consent under Article 122 of the Italian Privacy Code
  • Cloudflare Turnstile: privacy-friendly anti-bot verification mechanism that, unlike other CAPTCHA solutions, does not use persistent or tracking cookies. It may temporarily store a verification token in the user's browser for the duration of the form submission session only. Compliant with the Italian Authority Guidelines of June 10, 2021

The site does not use profiling cookies, third-party analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics), or advertising cookies. For this reason, no consent cookie banner is displayed, in compliance with the Authority Guidelines.

12. Minimum Age and Processing of Minors' Data

The EVO Review Lab service is reserved for adults (18 years of age or older). The Controller does not knowingly collect personal data of minors under 18 years of age. Waitlist signup constitutes an implicit declaration of legal age.

Should the Controller become aware of processing of a minor's data, immediate deletion will be performed. Parents or legal guardians who believe their minor child has provided personal data to the service may request its deletion by writing to privacy@ev-maximizer.com.

13. Future Processing: Paid Services

Supplementary terms regarding the processing of personal data required for the activation of EVO Base, EVO Pro, and Token Review plans (in particular hand histories and payment data) will be published with at least 30 days' notice prior to the activation of the commercial service, and will become effective only after explicit user acceptance.

It is anticipated that the processing of hand histories will be governed by:

  • Legal basis: contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR)
  • Pseudonymization: automatic removal of identifying nicknames before long-term archiving
  • Dedicated retention: automatic deletion 90 days after review delivery, unless the user explicitly requests retention for subsequent comparative reviews
  • Dedicated sub-processors: use of PokerTracker 4 in local worker mode (not cloud) for technical normalization of gameplay data

14. Data Protection Officer (DPO) and Automated Decision-Making

The Controller, as a natural person and considering the nature and scope of the processing carried out in the current phase of the service, is not subject to the obligation to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) pursuant to Article 37 GDPR.

The Controller further declares that, in the currently active waitlist phase, no automated decision-making or profiling activities are carried out within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR. Any automated decision-making related to future paid services (e.g., automatic analysis of hand histories by the EVO AI system) will be subject to specific notice at the time of activation of the relevant plan, with explicit indication of the operating logic and the rights of the data subject.

15. Prevailing Language and Changes

This Privacy Policy is drafted in Italian and English. In case of interpretative discrepancy between the two versions, the Italian version shall prevail, as the Controller has its registered seat in Italy and is subject to Italian and European jurisdiction.

The Controller reserves the right to modify this privacy policy to adapt it to regulatory developments or service changes. Changes will be communicated by email to waitlist-registered users at least 14 days before they become effective, except for purely formal changes or changes of immediate application required by law.
