TYPES OF DATA PROCESSED

Browsing data

During their normal operation, the computer systems and software procedures used to operate this website acquire some personal data, the transmission of which is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols.

This information is not collected in order to be associated with identified data subjects, but 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 website, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) 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 IT environment.

These data are used solely to obtain anonymous statistical information about website usage and to ensure its proper functioning. They may also be used to determine responsibility in the event of suspected computer crimes and, for this purpose, are retained for the period prescribed by law.

Data provided voluntarily by the user

The optional, explicit and voluntary sending of data collected through forms or electronic mail to the addresses indicated on this website entails the subsequent acquisition of the sender’s address, which is necessary in order to reply to requests, as well as any other personal data included in the message.

The session cookies used in this website avoid the use of other IT techniques that could potentially prejudice the confidentiality of user browsing and do not allow the acquisition of the user’s personal identification data.

They may also verify their accuracy or request that they be completed, updated, or rectified (article 7 of Legislative Decree no. 196/2003).

In accordance with the same article, data subjects may also request the erasure, anonymization, or blocking of unlawfully processed data. Additionally, they have the right to object, on legitimate grounds, to the processing of their data.
