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

This category of data includes the IP addresses or domain names of the computers and terminals used by users, the URI/URL (Uniform Resource Identifier/Locator) notation addresses of the resources requested, 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 response given by the server (successful, error, etc.) and other parameters relating to the user’s operating system and computer environment.

These data, necessary for the use of web services, are also processed for the purpose of:

– obtain statistical information on the use of the services (most visited pages, number of visitors per time slot or per day, geographical areas of origin, etc.);

– monitor the proper functioning of the services offered.

Browsing data are not retained for more than seven days (except in the case of criminal investigations by judicial authorities).

This Site uses cookies, i.e. small text files that the sites visited by users send to their terminals, where they are stored and then retransmitted to the same sites on subsequent visits. For more information on the use of cookies, please see the Cookie Policy.

Sending messages and/or CVs via the appropriate forms on the Site (e.g. ‘Contact Us’ or ‘Join Us’ forms) entails the subsequent acquisition of the data provided by the User.

Finally, the Data Controller processes data posted on the Data Controller’s social pages that the Data Controller has access to through social media features that the User enabled when registering on such platforms. The Data Controller may use and republish data that the User posts online publicly, through social media sharing tools, in accordance with the GDPR and the social media terms and conditions of use that the User has agreed to.

Method and location of data processing

Treatment modes

The Data Controller takes appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, modification or destruction of personal data. The processing is carried out using computer and/or telematic instruments, with organisational methods and logics strictly related to the purposes indicated. The data are processed by persons authorised to process the data involved in the organisation of this Site (e.g. administrative, sales, marketing, legal, system administrators) or by external parties (e.g. third party technical service providers, hosting providers, IT companies, communication agencies) also appointed, if necessary, as data processors (hereinafter, “Data Processors“) by the Data Controller (pursuant to Article 28 of the GDPR). The updated list of Data Processors can always be requested to the Data Controller. Personal Data may also be disclosed, in accordance with the law, to police forces, judicial authorities, information and security bodies or other public entities for purposes of defence or state security or the prevention, detection or repression of crimes.

Place

The Data are processed at the Data Controller’s offices and in any other place where the parties involved in the processing are located. Users’ Personal Data may be transferred to third countries that do not guarantee an adequate level of security in respect to European standards and for which no adequacy decision has been issued by the European Commission pursuant to Article 45 GDPR. For this reason, the Data Controller has signed with third parties intending to transfer data to such countries standard contractual clauses or another appropriate instrument pursuant to Article 46 GDPR, as well as any additional security measures.

Legal basis and purpose of Data Processing

The processing of the User’s Personal Data by the Data Controller on the Site has the following purposes and legal basis:

(a) for the purpose, in accordance with Article 6.1(f) of the GDPR, of the legitimate interest pursued by the Data Controller, consisting in ensuring the security of the Site and the information exchanged on it, i.e. the ability of that Site to withstand, at a given level of security, unforeseen events or unlawful or malicious acts that compromise the availability, authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of the personal data stored or transmitted and the security of the related services offered or made accessible;

b) to process requests for information transmitted via the appropriate forms published on the Site pursuant to Article 6.1(f) of the GDPR;

Regarding the processing of personal data carried out by the managers of the social media platforms used by the Data Controller for its social pages, please refer to the information provided by them through their respective privacy policies.

Consequences of refusal to provide data

The provision of data for the purposes set out in paragraph b) and c) above is mandatory and is functional to the pursuit of the purposes described in paragraph 3 above.
