The User's personal data subjected to processing are browsing data and online identifiers as described in the previous paragraph, the one relating to the subject of the processing.
Within the site, personal data are also processed such as:
Browsing data: the computer systems and software procedures used to operate this website acquire, in the course of their normal operation, some personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of internet communication protocols. This information is not collected to be associated with identified data subjects, but by its very nature it 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 site, the addresses in URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) notation 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 computer environment. These data are used for the sole purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information on the use of the site and to check its correct functioning. The data could be used to ascertain responsibility in the event of hypothetical computer crimes against the site.
Data provided voluntarily by the user: the optional, explicit and voluntary sending of data in the web forms or of electronic mail to the addresses indicated on this site entails the subsequent acquisition of the sender's address, necessary to respond to requests, as well as any other personal data included in the message.
Third-party data provided by the user: when using certain services of the Site, the processing of Personal Data of third parties sent by you to the data controller may occur.
With respect to such cases, you act as an independent data controller, assuming all legal obligations and responsibilities.
In this sense, you accept responsibility for any dispute, claim or request for compensation for damage from processing, etc. that may reach the data controller from third parties whose Personal Data have been processed through your use of the Site's functions in violation of the applicable rules on the protection of Personal Data.
In any case, should you provide or otherwise process Personal Data of third parties when using the Site, you guarantee from now on – assuming all related responsibility – that this particular case of processing is based on a suitable legal basis pursuant to Article 6 of the Regulation that legitimises the processing of the data in question.
Cookies: the Cookies used within the website are described in detail in the Cookie Policy.
Legal basis and obligation to provide data
The processing of Personal Data provided voluntarily by the user through the contact form, in order to receive, examine and respond to their requests, is based on the performance of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject (Art. 6, para. 1, lett. b) of the Regulation) or, for requests of a purely informative nature, on the legitimate interest of the data controller in responding to the communications received (Art. 6, para. 1, lett. f) of the Regulation).
Apart from what is specified for browsing data, the user is free to provide personal data to request the services offered by the data controller.
Failure to provide them may make it impossible to obtain the requested service.
Communication of data to third parties
The processed data may be communicated to parties for the fulfilment of legal, administrative and tax obligations, and to parties, bodies or authorities following legal provisions or their orders for control purposes.
For the operation of the site, the data controller makes use of the following technology providers:
- Lovable Cloud: database for the operation of the site, the management of the contact form and the recording of requests, hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centres in the eu-central-1 region (Frankfurt, Germany, European Economic Area).
- Cloudflare: content distribution network (Frontend / Edge Delivery) made up of edge servers distributed internationally; the pages of the site may be served by the network node closest to the user.
- Resend: service for sending transactional notifications relating to requests received through the contact form, with the sending domain configured in the Ireland region (European Union). The regional configuration of the sending domain does not exclude that the provider or its sub-processors may carry out processing outside the European Economic Area; the only technically verified elements concern the configuration region of the sending domain, while any transfers outside the EEA and the related safeguards provided for by Chapter V of the Regulation remain to be ascertained through the contractual documentation provided by the provider.
