The Recommendation and a description in synthesis of its purpose are reported in other pages of this web site.

Type of data treated
Navigation data

Data processing systems and software procedures managing the functions of this web site acquire, during the normal course off operations, certain personnel data, the transmission of which is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols. It is information that is collected not to be associated to identified persons, but, because of their nature could, by elaboration or association with data held by third parties, permit the identification of the users. In this data category are IP addresses or dominion names of the computers used by the users that connect to the web site, the URI addresses (Uniform Resource Identifier) of the resources requested, the hour of the request, the method utilised in submitting the request to the server, the dimension of the file obtained in reply, the numerical code indicating the state of the reply given by the server (successful connection, error, etc.) and other parameters relative to the operational system and data processing environment of the user. These data are utilised only for the purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information about the use of the web site and to control the correct functioning and are cancelled immediately after the elaboration. The data could be used for responsibility checks in the case of hypothetic data processing crimes that could damage the web site; except for this eventuality, the data about web contacts do not persist for more than two days.

Data voluntarily supplied by the user

The optional sending, explicit and voluntary, of electronic mail to addresses indicated in this web site brings about the subsequent acquisition of the sender’s address, necessary to reply to the requests for information or supply of services, as well as any other personal data entered into the communication. Normally, the Owner does not collect the Data sent by users in paper-form databanks or electronic databanks, except when indicated in the specific synthetic guidelines reported or visualised in the page of the site predisposed for particular services on request.

Cookies
Temporary cookies are not used for the transmission of personal information, or persistent cookies of any type; in other words, systems for tracking users.

The temporary session cookies used in this web site avoid the resort to other data processing techniques potentially prejudicial for navigational privacy of the users and do not permit the acquisition of personal identification data of the user.

The option of conferring data
Apart from that specified, for navigational data collected by the data processing system, the user is free to supply the personal data reported in the request modules to the Owner to request information or other communications. The lack of conferment can bring about the impossibility of obtaining that requested. Finally, it must be remembered that in certain cases (not a part of the normal management of this web site), the Authorities can request news or information, in accordance with art. 157 of the Italian Legislative Decree nr. 196/2003, with the purpose of checking on the personal data treatment. In the absence of a reply in these cases, there is an administrative fine.

Treatment formalities

Specific security measures and anti-virus systems in particular are observed to prevent the loss of data, their illicit or incorrect use and access by unauthorised third parties.
