Types of Data

The following data will be collected and processed as necessary for the purposes described above:

  • Identifying data
  • Contact data
  • Data related to the contractual relationship
  • Data related to the data subject’s preferences and interests
  • Any health-related data
Navigation Data

The computer systems and software procedures used to operate this website acquire, during their normal operation, certain personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols.

This information is not collected to be associated with identified individuals, but by its nature could, through processing and association with data held by third parties, allow users to be identified.

This category of data includes IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by users connecting to the site, URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of the requested resources, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in response, the numerical code indicating the status of the server's response (successful, error, etc.), and other parameters related to the user’s operating system and IT environment.

These data are used solely for the purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information on the use of the site and to check its correct functioning, and are deleted immediately after processing.

The data could be used to ascertain responsibility in the event of hypothetical computer crimes against the site.

Refusal to Provide Data

Apart from what is specified for navigation data, users/visitors are free to provide their personal data. In some cases, the provision of data is necessary, as any refusal to provide such data could make it impossible to conclude or properly perform the contract in which the Data Subject is involved and/or comply with legal obligations to which the Controller is subject.

The provision of data for processing that requires consent is optional; failure to provide such data will not prevent the use of the products/services offered by the Controller. Even in the case of given consent, the data subject still has the right to later object, in whole or in part, to the processing of their personal data for the purposes described above by simply contacting the Controller at the addresses indicated above.

Source of Data

The data will be provided by the data subject.

Methods of Processing

In accordance with Article 5 of the Regulation, the Personal Data being processed will be:

  2. Collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes;
  3. Adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed;
  4. Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date;
  5. Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data;
  6. Kept in a form that permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed.

Processing will be carried out using manual and/or IT and telematic tools with organizational and processing logic strictly related to the purposes themselves and, in any case, in such a way as to ensure the security, integrity, and confidentiality of the data, in compliance with the organizational, physical, and logical measures provided for by applicable regulations.

Disclosure of Data

Personal data may be communicated to individuals authorized to process them, as well as to external processors appointed by the Controller (the complete list of external processors is available from the Controller), responsible for managing the purposes described above. With your consent, the data may also be disclosed to third-party companies that are sponsors and/or business partners of the Controller, who may use them for the purposes described in point 3) of the above section “Purposes of Processing.” In pursuing the above purposes, the data may be disclosed to other entities acting as autonomous controllers.

Dissemination of Data

Personal data will not be subject to dissemination.

Transfer of Data Abroad

For the purposes outlined above, Personal Data will be processed within the European Economic Area (EEA). If transferred to third countries, in the absence of an adequacy decision by the European Commission, the provisions set out in the applicable regulations regarding the transfer of Personal Data to third countries will be complied with, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission.

Data Retention

In general, Personal Data will be retained for the time strictly necessary to pursue the purposes for which they were collected and processed, including the retention period required by applicable law and, in any case, for a maximum period of 10 years after the termination of the relationship with the Controller and for a maximum period of 2 years for the purposes for which your consent is required, unless it is necessary for the Controller to defend a right in court.
