The Personal Data being processed

As a result of browsing the Site, we inform you that the Data Controller will process personal data that may consist of an identifier such as a name, an identification number, an online identifier, or to one or more characteristic elements of your physical, physiological, psychological, economic, cultural, or social identity capable of making the data subject identified or identifiable (hereinafter: “Personal Data”).

The Personal Data processed through the Site are as follows:

Navigation data

The computer systems and software procedures used to operate the Site acquire, during their normal operation, some Personal Data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols.

This is information that is not collected to be associated with identified interested parties, but which by its very nature could, through processing and association with data held by third parties, allow users to be identified. This category of data includes the IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by users connecting to the Site, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) notation addresses of the requested resources, the time of the request, the method used in submitting the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in response, the numerical code indicating the status of the response given by the server (successful, error, etc.) and other parameters relating to the user’s operating system and computer environment.

These data are used for the sole purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information on the use of the Site and to check its correct functioning, to identify anomalies and/or abuses, and are deleted immediately after processing. The data could be used to ascertain responsibility in case of hypothetical computer crimes against the Site or third parties: except for this eventuality, at present the data on web contracts do not persist for more than 1 month.

Data voluntarily provided by the data subject

In the use of some services of the Site (for example, through contact forms) there may be a processing of Personal Data of third parties sent by you to the Data Controller.

With respect to such hypotheses, you stand as autonomous data controller, assuming all the obligations and responsibilities of the law. In this sense, it confers on this point the widest indemnity with respect to any dispute, claim, request for compensation for damages from processing, etc., that may be received by the Controller from third parties whose Personal Data have been processed through your use of the functions of the Site in violation of the applicable data protection regulations. In any case, should it provide or otherwise process Personal Data of third parties in the use of the Site, it hereby guarantees – assuming all related liability – that this particular hypothesis of processing is based on a suitable legal basis under Article 6 of the Regulations that legitimizes the processing of the information in question.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that sites visited by the user send and store on the user’s computer or mobile device, only to be transmitted back to the same sites on the next visit. It is precisely because of cookies that a site remembers the user’s actions and preferences (such as, for example, The user’s login information, language choice, font size, other display settings, etc.) so that they do not have to be indicated again when the user returns to the Site or navigates from one page to another of it.

Cookies, therefore, are used to perform computer authentication, session tracking, and storage of information regarding the activities of users accessing a site and may also contain a unique identifier code that allows tracking of navigation on a site, the user may also receive on his computer cookies from sites or web servers other than the one he is visiting (so-called “third-party” cookies).

Some operations could not be accomplished without the use of cookies, which in some cases are therefore technically necessary for the very operation of the site. There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, and these may remain on the user’s computer for different periods of time: so-called session cookies, which remain on the user’s equipment until a predetermined expiration date.

Under current Italian law, the use of cookies does not always require the user’s express consent. In particular, “technical cookies”, i.e. those used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communication network, or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user, do not require such consent. These are, in other words, cookies that are indispensable for the operation of the Site or necessary to perform activities requested by the user.

Among technical cookies, which do not require express consent for their use, the Italian Data Protection Authority (see Provvedimento Individuazione delle modalità semplificate per l’informativa e l’acquisizione del consenso per l’uso dei cookie of May 8, 2014 and subsequent clarifications, hereinafter: “Provvedimento”) also includes:

  • “Analytics cookies” where used directly by the site operator to collect information, in aggregate form, about the number of users and how they visit the site;
  • Navigation or session cookies (to authenticate);
  • Functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a set of selected criteria (e.g., language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service rendered to the same.

For “profiling cookies,” vice versa, i.e., those aimed at creating profiles related to the user and used for the purpose of sending advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user in the context of web browsing, prior user consent is required.

Types of cookies used by the Site and options for (de-)selection

The Site uses the following cookies, which can be de-selected, except for third-party cookies for which you will have to refer directly to the respective cookie selection and de-selection methods indicated by links.

Purpose of processing

The Controller will use your Personal Data, upon your specific consent where necessary, for the following purposes:

  • To enable the provision of the services you have requested (request for contact, appointment, request for opinions and information, etc.);
  • Fulfilling any obligations under laws, regulations or EU legislation, or fulfilling requests from authorities;

Legal basis and mandatory or optional nature of processing

The legal bases for the processing of Personal Data for the purposes set forth in Section 3 above are:

  • Provision of services (3.a): the processing of Personal Data for this purpose is based on art. 6(1)(b) of the Regulation (“[…] processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or for the performance of pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject’s request”). The provision of Personal Data for these purposes is optional, but failure to provide it would make it impossible to activate the services provided by the Site and/or respond to your requests;
  • Compliance with legal obligations (3.b): the processing of Personal Data for this purpose is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the Regulation (“[…] processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the data controller is subject”);
  • Marketing (3.c): the processing of Personal Data for this purpose is based on the provision of your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the Regulation (“[…] the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her Personal Data for one or more specific purposes”). The provision of your Personal Data for this purpose is therefore entirely optional and does not affect the use of the services. Should you wish to object to the processing of your Personal Data for marketing purposes, you may do so at any time by contacting the Controller at the addresses indicated in section 8 below.

Recipients of Personal Data

Your Personal Data may be shared, for the purposes of Section 3 above, with the following persons and/or entities (collectively “Recipients”):

Transfers of Personal Data

Your Personal Data is not transferred outside the European Economic Area.

Retention of Personal Data

Personal Data processed for the provision of services (3.a) will be kept for the time strictly necessary to achieve those same purposes.

Personal Data processed to comply with legal obligations (3.b) will be retained as long as required by the specific obligation or rule of law or applicable regulation. Personal Data processed for marketing purposes (3.c) will be processed until your consent is revoked.
