TYPE OF DATA PROCESSED

Click flow
The IT systems and software procedures specific to this website collect some personal data during their routine operations in a way that is standard for Internet communication protocols.

This data is not collected with the purpose of associating it to specific individuals, although its peculiar nature might allow the identification of users after processing and associating them with data possessed by third parties.
This specifically includes IP addresses and domain names of computers used by visitors connecting to the website, URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) notations of requested resources, time of request, server request submission, size of the response file, response status code assigned by the server (delivered, error, etc.) as well as other information relating to the OS and IT environment of the user.

Data provided by the user voluntarily
Whenever a user voluntarily sends any electronic mail to the addresses mentioned in the website without being asked to, the sender’s address as well as any other personal data specified in the message are stored by us in order to be able to respond to their request.
Specific information notes will be published or shown on the website pages from time to time in case of non-standard services on demand.

Cookies
No personal user data is acquired from the website through cookies.
No cookies are used for transmitting personal information and no persistent cookies or other user tracking systems are used.
The use of session cookies – i.e. temporary cookies which are not permanently stored in the user’s computer and are erased upon closing the browser – is strictly limited to transmission of session-identifying data – casual numbers generated by the server – which is necessary to guarantee safe and efficient navigation through the site.
The session cookies used on our website replace the use of other protection techniques which are potentially dangerous for the privacy of users during navigation. Session cookies do not allow the collection of personal data identifying each user.

The log files are tracked for security reasons which require the registration and maintenance of log files and provide access to them by judicial authorities for investigation purposes.
For this purpose, access log files are stored for a period not exceeding 6 months/1 year.
Any investigation of accesses will be carried out in a progressive form, in full observance of the Privacy Act and based on the principles of necessity and proportionality.

In such cases we will respond in order to avoid administrative penalties.
