Data Processor:
Web hosting OVHcloud, a company of the OVH Groupe SA, based in Roubaix, France.
The Data Controller (hereafter, the ‘Controller’), in compliance with the obligations arising from Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 (General Data Protection Regulation, hereafter, the ‘GDPR’) and the Italian legislation on data protection, respects and protects the privacy of visitors and users of this Website, making every possible and proportionate effort not to infringe their rights.
The purpose of this policy is to help users understand the procedures that the Controller uses in relation to privacy, including what personal data is collected, why it is collected, how it is used, how it is protected, and which individual rights users possess.
This policy applies to all personal data that the Controller collects or processes when users interact with this Website.
II. Types of Data Collected
Among the personal data collected by this Website, either independently or through third parties, are: cookies, usage data, first name, last name, email, phone number.
Full details on each type of data collected are provided in the relevant sections of this privacy policy or by means of specific information texts displayed before the data collection itself.
Personal Data may be freely provided by the User or, in the case of Usage Data, automatically collected during the use of this Website.
Unless otherwise specified, all Data requested by this Website are mandatory. If the User refuses to provide it, it may be impossible for this Website to provide the Service.
Where this Website indicates that certain Data is optional, users are free to refrain from providing such Data, without this affecting the availability of the Service or its operation.
Any use of Cookies – or of other tracking tools – by this Website or by the owners of third party services used by this Website, unless otherwise specified, is for the purpose of providing the Service requested by the User, in addition to the further purposes described in this document and in the Cookie Policy.
The User assumes responsibility for the personal data of third parties obtained, published or shared through this Website and guarantees that he/she has the right to communicate or disseminate them, releasing the Controller from any liability towards third parties.
III. General Information on Data Processing
In this Policy, the term ‘Personal Data’ refers to any information that relates to users and enables us to identify them, either directly or in combination with other information in our possession.
The Controller processes user data based on consent. By using or consulting this Website, users explicitly agree to this Privacy Policy and consent to the processing of their personal data in relation to the purposes and methods described below, including any disclosure to third parties, if necessary, for the provision of service. The provision of data and, consequently, the consent to the gathering and processing of data is optional. The User can deny consent, and may revoke consent at any time. However, denying consent may make it impossible to provide certain services and the browsing experience on the Website may be compromised.
The Controller shall do everything possible, consistent with the electronic form of service, to maintain the utmost confidentiality in its performance of services. All documents (texts, audio and video files...), the nature of the work performed, the personal data of the client (first and last names, email, telephone number) communicated for the purposes of translation, revision or provision of any services, and any information transmitted by the client to the Controller are subject to the strictest confidentiality and the personal data collected shall be processed in accordance with Article 6 of the GDPR.
In particular, the Controller shall use the information provided for the execution of the contract and such information can not — without the prior written consent of the client — be disclosed publicly or to third parties, except to its authorized employees or their authorized subcontractors, should their operational or advisory intervention require knowledge of such information. The above guarantees do not apply if the Controller is obliged by law to disclose such information, or in the event that such information is, or enters, in the public domain regardless of the disclosure of the same by the Controller. This similarly applies to cases in which the vital interests of the Data Subject or of another natural person require the processing of personal data, or where the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of the Controller or third parties, which is of a higher nature than the rights of the Data Subject.
IV. Automatically Collected Information. Web Browsing Data
As with all websites, this Website also makes use of log files in which information from user visits is automatically collected and stored. The information collected may include the following:
-Type of browser and device parameters used to connect to the Website;
-Name of the Internet Service Provider (ISP);

-Method used to submit the request to the server;
-Size of the file obtained in response;
-Digital code indicating the status of the response given by the server;
-Other parameters related to the operating system and the User's IT environment.
The information listed above is handled automatically and collected in an exclusively aggregated form in order to verify the correct functioning of the website, and for security reasons. For the purposes of security (spam filters, firewalls, virus detection), automatically registered data may also include personal data such as the IP address, which could be used — in compliance with the laws in force on the subject — to block attempts to damage the Website or harm other users, the carrying out of malicious activities, and activities that constitute a crime. This type of data is used to protect the Website and its users.
The data provided is used solely to obtain anonymous statistical information on the use of the Website and to check its correct functioning and, therefore, is deleted immediately after processing.
