Definitions

The term ‘personal data’ is defined by article 4, point 1), of the EU Reg., as follows: “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person” (“Personal Data”).

The EU Reg. defines the processing of Personal Data as “any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction” (“Processing”). Before processing Personal Data, the EU Reg. states that it is necessary for the data subject to be informed about the reasons and purposes of processing, i.e. why his/her data are needed and how they will be used.

Personal Data may be disclosed to specific parties considered to be recipients of said Personal Data. The EU Reg. defines a recipient of Personal Data to be “a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not.” (hereinafter “Recipients”).

Personal Data may also be disclosed to specific parties considered by the EU Reg. to be “persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data” (hereinafter “Authorised Persons”).

The EU Reg. also states, inter alia: “public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients”.

In this regard, the purpose of this document is to provide Users with all useful and necessary information in a simple and intuitive away, allowing them to provide their Personal Data in a well-informed way and to ask for and obtain clarifications and/or corrections at any time.

 

Categories of data and processing

 

Navigation data

As part of their standard operations and only for the duration of the connection, the IT systems and software procedures used to run this portal acquire certain pieces of personal data, which must be transmitted in order to use internet communication protocols. This information is not collected to be associated with specific individuals but could, for its very nature, allow the users to be identified if processed and associated with data held by third parties (e.g. IP addresses, the domain names of the devices used, the requesters’ URI – Uniform Resource Identifier -, the time of the request, etc.). These data are used for the sole purpose of gathering anonymous statistical information on the use of the website and to check that it is working properly, and are immediately cancelled after processing. Web contact data are stored for no longer than seven days, unless there are potential computer crimes that harm the websites. No data deriving from the service shall be disclosed or disseminated.

To find out more, Data Subjects are invited to read the cookies policy.

 

Contact details provided by the User

Sending Personal Data on an optional, explicit and voluntary basis to access the services and to send requests via e-mail shall mean that the Data Controller subsequently acquires the sender’s e-mail address or any other personal data indicated. Said data shall be processed in order to reply to the request, or to provide the service in question, as well as to carry out all the related activities and to fulfil legal obligations (for example, tax obligations). Failure to provide said data, or providing only partial or inaccurate data, shall make it impossible to use the services requested and, in some cases, to comply with legal requirements.

In order to use the services offered or make a request, it may be necessary to register by filling in a dedicated registration or contact form (“Form”).

Providing the personal data indicated with an asterisk (*) in the aforementioned form is compulsory in order to complete the registration procedure; failure to provide said data, or providing only partial or incorrect data, shall therefore void the registration and will not allow you to use the services in question.

Pursuant to articles 12 and 13 of the EU Reg., the forms on the website may include privacy policies for specific purposes linked to Users visiting those sections of the website.

Data shall be processed both manually and using computerised and telematic tools, in accordance with applicable legislation and the principles of correctness, lawfulness, transparency, relevance, completeness and reasonableness, data minimisation and accuracy; organisation and processing logic shall be strictly linked to the purposes being pursued and, in any case, shall be such as to guarantee the security, integrity and confidentiality of the data being processed, in compliance with the organisational, physical and logical measures provided for by applicable legislation. These measures shall be implemented and increased on a case-by-case basis, also in relation to technological developments, in order to guarantee the confidentiality, availability and integrity of the data processed.

 

Purposes and legal basis for processing

Users’ navigation data are only used for the sole purpose of obtaining statistical information about how the Website is used. With regard to data provided directly by the User, in order to use the Data Controller’s services, or to send a request via e-mail, personal data shall be collected and processed, within the limits stated by the privacy policy published in the specific sections, in order to reply to the requests received. Personal Data provided by filling in the contact form (“Form”) shall be processed for the following purposes (as is also the case for the subsequent processing phases depending on the project selected): to manage all the phases involved with contact requests and service offers, including the relative contracts, or to make technical material available.

Pursuant to Art. 6 of the EU Reg., the legal basis for processing may be defined as: pre-contractual and contractual obligations as part of the performance of a contract; the Data Controller’s legal obligations; the need for the Data Controller to pursue a legitimate interest (e.g. right of defence).

 

Automated decision-making

The Data Controller declares that it does not make decisions that are likely to influence the Data Subject, based exclusively on the automated processing of his/her personal data. All the decision-making processes linked to the aforementioned processing purposes involve human intervention.

 

Who may receive and processes personal data?

Personal Data may be disclosed to specific parties who may be defined as Recipients or Persons Authorised to process said Personal Data, under the authority of the Data Controller. In this regard, in order to carry out all the processing activities necessary to pursue the purposes stated in this privacy policy, the following Recipients may find themselves in the position of processing Personal Data:

  • the Data Controller’s employees and/or collaborators whose work contributes to the Data Controller’s activities and who have received suitable instructions on the security and correct use of your personal data.
  • third parties who carry out part of the Processing activities and/or connected and instrumental activities on behalf of the Data Controller, such as individuals, companies, associations or professional firms, based in the European Union, that have been appointed to provide the Data Controller with services, also including website maintenance and other assistance and/or consulting. The aforementioned third parties are mainly included in the following categories: (a) parties with whom the Data Controller has signed collaboration and service provision agreements; (b) sector operators; (c) credit institutions involved with providing the services; (d) consultants;
  • public authorities or public bodies for the fulfilment of the legal obligations applicable to the Data Controller, and any other public body authorised to request the data, under the circumstances provided for by law.

If required by law or to prevent or repress a potential crime, Personal Data may be disclosed to public bodies or the judicial authority.

It is understood that only data that are necessary to fulfil the specific purposes shall be processed, meaning that any data managed through third parties shall be limited to said specific purposes.

Personal Data shall not be subject to dissemination.

 

Transferring personal data abroad

Personal Data shall be processed by the Data Controller within the European Union.

If, for technical and/or operational reasons, it becomes necessary to use the services of parties located outside of the European Union, then your Personal Data shall only be transferred for the specific processing activities, in compliance with the provisions of Section V of the EU Reg. All the necessary precautions shall therefore be taken in order to ensure that your Personal Data are fully protected, basing such a transfer on: (i) the European Commission’s decisions on the suitability of the third country in question (ii) adequate guarantees provided by the third-party recipient pursuant to Art. 46 of the EU Reg.; (iii) the adoption of binding corporate rules.

 

Retention period

One of the principles applicable to the Processing of your Personal Data refers to restrictions on the data retention period. In light of this principle, Users’ Personal Data shall only be processed by the Data Controller for the amount of time that is strictly necessary to pursue the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Navigation data shall be kept for the amount of time stated in the cookies policy.

Personal Data collected via the “contact form” shall be processed for the minimum amount of time necessary, i.e. until the relative pre-contractual and contractual relationships with the Data Controller come to an end, taking into account the legally required time frames and the physical storage and other storage obligations required by law or by the EU Reg., in relation to which the reasonableness principle shall apply (Art. 6, letter f).

 

Commercial communications and withdrawal of consent

Should the data be used by the Data Controller to send information relating to the Data Controller’s activities and products, then said communications may be sent via e-mail or over the phone or by sending advertising material to the Data Subject’s home. However, for these purposes, it may be necessary to collect specific consent.

The only consequence of failing to collect consent for this purpose would be the inability to send the commercial communications in question.

Data provided for the aforementioned purposes shall be stored for a reasonable and relevant amount of time, in line with the purposes being pursued and, in any case, until the relative consent is withdrawn. In fact, as stated by the EU Reg., if the Data Subject has provided his/her consent to the Processing of his/her Personal Data for one or more of the purposes for which said consent was required, then he/she may fully and/or partially withdraw this consent at any time, without prejudice to the lawfulness of Processing based on the consent provided before it was withdrawn.

The process to withdraw consent is very easy and intuitive: Data Subjects simply have to contact the Data Controller using one of the contact channels indicated in this privacy policy.

In addition to the above, and to make the process easier, should a Data Subject no longer be interested in the e-mail messages received from the Data Controller, then he/she simply has to click on the ‘unsubscribe’ button at the bottom of the e-mails in order to stop receiving the messages, also through the other contact channels, for which he/she had given his/her consent (SMS, post, fax, telephone calls, social media).

 

Rights of the data subject and how to exercise them

As stated by Art. 15 of the EU Reg., Data Subjects may access their Personal Data, ask for them to be rectified and updated, if incomplete or incorrect, and ask for them to be erased if they were collected in violation of a law or the EU Reg., as well as to object to Processing for legitimate and specific reasons.
