(i)  navigation data

The computer systems responsible for the operation of this Site acquire, during their normal operation, certain personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols (e.g., IP addresses, Internet connection and traffic data, domain names of devices used by visitors to the Site).

This information is not collected to be associated with identified data subjects or to identify users.  

Without prejudice to what is specifically provided for in paragraph 4 below in relation to the use of cookies on the Site, these data are used for the sole purpose of obtaining anonymous information on the use of the Site and to check its correct functioning. 

The data could be used to ascertain liability in the event of hypothetical computer crimes to the detriment of the Site.

 

(ii) Navigation data relating to services provided by third parties and/or acquired by third parties through the Site

The development of certain functionalities of the Site takes place through services provided by third parties, using cookies, as specified in the following paragraph.

 

The processing of the data is aimed at ensuring the correct operation and use of our site and at improving the user’s browsing experience, through: a) performance evaluations of the Site during the browsing session, aimed at monitoring the services we offer; b) analysis of browsing data, in aggregate form, for statistical purposes and to keep track of user behaviour, without this entailing profiling activities

  1. Legal basis of processing

The processing of personal data is based on the following legal bases:

–             the pursuit of a legitimate interest of the Data Controller (art. 6, par. 1, letter f): (i) to ensure the security of the Site, to check its correct functioning and to obtain statistics concerning its use, as regards session navigation data; (ii) potentially, to enforce or defend one’s right in court;       

–        the consent given by the user (art. 6, co. 1, letter a), in the manner indicated above, about the processing of data provided by e-mail, for processing aimed at sending the newsletter, for processing associated with inclusion in the ARMONIA database and about the use of navigation data relating to services provided by third parties through the Site and/or acquired by third parties through the Site. Consent may be revoked at any time without prejudice to the lawfulness of processing based on consent before revocation.

  1. How do we collect and process your personal data

Personal data will be processed using computerised tools, both automated and non-automated (in this case, through human intervention in the management of computer systems) and through the use of analogue tools (paper management), according to logic strictly related to the purposes of the processing and, in any case, with the support of equipment and in such a way as to guarantee the security and confidentiality of the data, preventing the loss of data, unlawful or incorrect use and unauthorised access.

For data processing on our Site we use technical cookies, both our own and those of third parties.

A ‘cookie‘ is a small amount of data that is sent to the user’s browser by a web server and subsequently stored on the user’s computer hard disk.

Third party cookies are cookies sent by third party domains/partner sites that offer their functionality within the pages of the Site and/or as part of the operation of the Site (e.g., software to generate maps so that you can find our location and be able to reach us, the ability to access CDN networks). The use of data collected by these external operators via cookies is subject to their respective privacy policies. For detailed information on this, please consult the privacy policies of the services indicated as third-party cookies available on their respective sites. 

Our Site does not use cookies to transmit information of a personal nature (e.g., name, surname, e-mail address or telephone number), nor does it use persistent cookies of any kind, i.e., systems for tracking users.

The use of the so-called session cookies is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (consisting of random numbers generated by the server), which are necessary to enable the safe and efficient exploration of the Site, and to the acquisition of data to save the user’s browsing preferences (e.g., language setting, statistics management), in order to optimise the experience on the Site. The session cookies used in this Site avoid the use of other IT techniques potentially prejudicial to the confidentiality of users’ browsing and do not allow the acquisition of personal data identifying the user.

Cookies can be deactivated[1] , but if this choice is made, users will not be able to use the relevant functions and services. If you accept the use of cookies, you consent to the processing of your data for the above-mentioned purposes (see section 2).

The company in charge of the management of the Website may possibly become aware of the personal data, in the event of assistance/maintenance work.
