2.a Technical data
Also because of the natural functioning of communication protocols and of access to internet, a collection of personal data strictly connected to the display of this website - data that can also be stored in so-called "log files" - may be operated automatically by the services in use in this website (such as the hosting service used for this website). These data may include:

  • details on the navigation browser and on the operating system used on your device
  • your IP address, domain names and general data about your Internet Service Provider
  • details on the pages you have visited during your browsing activity on this website and data on any paths followed while viewing several pages of this website in sequence

2.b Personal data provided spontaneously by the user
Please note this website does not contain any contact form, registration system, newsletter subscription system or other tools that involve the voluntary entry of personal data by the user. Anyway Owner's contact details (which may include email address, social media profiles and any other information) are published on this website. If the user voluntarily contacts any of these addresses, this will involve the automatic acquisition of the contact details of the user, which may eventually be used to reply. In no way will these contact details be transferred to third parties or used for purposes other than those strictly connected to the ability to reply to any communications sent to us by the user.

2.c Details on web hosting service where this website is hosted:
A web hosting service provides a web space in which a website can be hosted. This website's hosting service, in particular, is provided by Aruba S.p.A., an Italian company, and the website is hosted in Italy. For more details about Aruba S.p.A. you can check the website: https://www.aruba.it. Please note that nor this website, nor its owner, are affiliated in any way with Aruba S.p.A.


2.d Data processing methods and security measures
  • Data processing is performed by means of IT and telematic systems. Data are processed within any places where the subjects involved in the data processing are located.
  • Some browsers provide a feature which allows users to send "do not track" request to the websites that support them. Actually this website does not support "do not track" requests. For more information about compatibility of any third-party services with "do not track" feature, please refer to the respective privacy policies.
  • This website is not specifically aimed at users under the age of 18. Parents and legal guardians of minors are invited to contact the Owner if they believe data of minors of which they are parents or legal guardians are processed.
  • Data are processed by the Owner. If necessary, data may also be processed by other natural and juridical persons involved in the Owner’s activities or to whom the Owner assigns certain tasks, such as but not limited to, lawyers or internet service providers. In no case will the data be sold or transferred for advertising purposes. For any doubt or question, the user is invited to contact the Owner.
  • The Owner undertakes to guarantee security of this website. He also adopts specific additional measures in order to limit the possibility of breaches or violations in the processing of data, such as the adoption of passwords and other security access keys suitable to minimize the risk of possible violations and, where possible, additional security measures such as, for example, additional authentication systems based on the sending of temporary codes via SMS, phone call or generated through specific applications.



3.) Purposes and legal bases for the data processing

3.a Processing of technical data
Data are processed for the purposes related to the maintenance and use of this website.

Since technical data is collected and processed automatically on this website, also by means of the so-called "system logs", these data are mandatory and strictly necessary for use of this website. In case of refusal of consent to the processing of these data strictly connected to the possibility of visiting this website, the visitor is asked to refrain from visiting this website.

3.b Processing of contact details and terms of conservation of such data and of messages
If the user explicitly and voluntarily communicates with us through our contact details published on this website, this will involve automatic acquisition of contact details of the sending user, which may eventually be used to reply to him. The purposes of processing this data are therefore related to communication with the user regarding any questions or requests for information, assistance and support to the user, as well as the purposes referred to in point 3.c.
The user who explicitly and voluntarily communicates with us through any of our contact details agrees to be contacted exclusively for the purposes indicated above and for the purposes referred to in point 3.c, he also agrees to the preservation of any messages (which may also include contact references, as in the case of emails, which contain, among other information, data on senders and recipients), for an undefined period of time, until such consent is explicitly revoked.  However, storage may also be carried out independently of this consent, if it is necessary for the legit protection of the Owner’s rights and interests or for the fulfillment of legal obligations, for the duration of the time strictly necessary to satisfy these purposes.

3.c Additional purposes regarding legal protection of the Owner’s interests and fulfillment of legal obligations and data retention for these purposes
Please note that, in addition to the purposes previously mentioned before and related to the processing activity of the various types of personal data, all personal data of users visiting this website or performing a contact action through the Owner’s contact details, can also be processed for the purposes of legal protection of the Owner’s rights and legitimate interests, including the right to defense in court, and will be kept for the time strictly necessary to guarantee these protections. In addition to this, they can also be processed for the purposes of fulfilling any legal obligations and will be kept for the time strictly necessary for the fulfillment of these obligations.

Please also note that if the user, by contacting the Owner, should voluntarily provide him with personal data belonging to a third party, it is their own responsibility to ensure that he has obtained prior consent from this third party, if required by law: otherwise, we inform you that the Owner is in no way responsible for any conduct of unauthorized disclosure of third party personal data operated by a user.
