PRIVACY POLICY

This document of privacy policy, updated with EU Regulation (GDPR) 2016/679 relating to the processing of personal data, as well as with the Legislative Decree 181/18 which modifies the Legislative Decree 196/2003, regulates the modes of data processing collected by a website during the navigation by the user.

It has the precise purpose of inform the user regarding the processing of your personal data in accordance with the law and the recent EU Regulation 679/2016, which has profoundly changed the regulation.

A website must have a Data controller (Data Controller) . The data controller is the one who has decision-making and organizational power over the processing, as well as deciding the methods of data processing and is responsible towards the privacy guarantor. Two or more joint owners can also be appointed. In this case, it is mandatory for the user to know what the skills of each joint owner are, through a link indicating the agreement between them.

The data controller is supported by Data Processor (Data Processor) . This figure is the person who processes the data on behalf of the data controller. This means that it will be a person close to the owner, from whom he receives directives on how to manage the data. The Data Controller must be a competent figure capable of fully satisfying the security implemented by the Data Controller.

These two figures are joined by the Data Protection Officer (DPO), who, despite being appointed directly by the owner, is still a subject independent of the latter. The DPO, previously only optional, is now a sometimes mandatory figure pursuant to art. 37 of Regulation (EU) 679/2016. This article indicates the obliged subjects and those who are exempt. In any case, the DPO, called RPD in Italian, is an independent subject and processes the data autonomously. Furthermore, he is directly responsible for and communicates with the privacy guarantor. Ultimately, the DPO designation reflects the new approach of the GDPR, towards a responsibility for data processing, being aimed at facilitating the implementation of the regulation by the owner and manager. The role of DPO is to protect personal data, not the interests of the data controller.

Therefore, while the Data Controller is a figure close to the Data Controller, the DPO is a much more independent figure, who cannot and must not receive orders from the Data Controller on effective data protection.

Returning to the information, the place where the data will be processed, which coincides with the headquarters of the data controller.
