Why we process your personal data and how 
With your consent the Provider may process your ordinary personal data to allow the use of Website services and functions and optimise its functioning, to run statistical analysis on the visits, to manage requests and reports received through the Website, to register to any reserved areas or initiatives. Also, with your optional consent, ordinary personal data may also be used to send institutional communications (newsletters included) or perform promotional activities (marketing). Finally, your general and/or sensitive data may be processed by the Provider to defend its rights in trials. Personal data is processed using both automatic and non-automatic tools according to the very purpose of the processing and, in any case, with methods and procedures that guarantee the safety and confidentiality of the data.

 

Compulsory and optional processing 
The forms to be filled in on this Website contain data that is essential to handle your communications and requests - marked with a [*] - which, if not entered, will prevent your requests from being processed, as well as optional data, which is not essential to process the request by the person concerned. Failing to enter this data will have no consequences.

 

Browsing data 
The processing of personal data of users who visit the Website only (meaning those who do not send communications or use any of the services/functions available) will be limited to browsing data, which means personal data which need to be transferred to the Website in order for the IT systems that manage the Website and the Internet communication protocols to work. For example, this category includes IP addresses, or the domain of the computer use to browse the Website and other parameters related to the operating system used by the user to access the Website. The Provider collects this and other data (such as the number of visits and time spent on the Website) for statistical purposes only and anonymously in order to check the Website operation and improve its functions. This information is not collected to be combined with other information about the users and to identify them; however, given its nature, this information may allow for the identification of users by processing and combining it with data controlled by third parties. Browsing data is normally erased after anonymous processing but may be stored and used by the Provider to investigate on and identify the perpetrators of any cybercrime committed against the Website or through the Website. Without prejudice to this circumstance and the provisions in the Cookie Policy section, the browsing data above is temporarily kept in compliance with the applicable regulations.

Links to other websites 
The Website may contain links to other websites (so-called third-party websites). The Provider has no access to and has no control over the cookies, web beacons and other user tracking technologies used by third-party websites which you can access to from the Website; the Provider has no control over the contents and materials published by or obtained through third-party websites, or the way they process your personal data, and expressly does not accept any responsibilities on this.

In order to determine the right retention period for the personal data stored by the Website upon your consent, the controller also considers the following criteria: the specific purposes described in the policy for which the website stores the personal data; the type of current relationship with you (how frequently you log in to your account; if you submit requests using the contact form; if you continue to receive newsletters or commercial communications; how regularly you browse the website, etc.); any specific request to erase your data or consent withdrawal by you; the data controller’s legitimate business interest.
