This Privacy Policy is provided pursuant to Art. 13 of European Regulation No. 679/2016 and applies exclusively to all Data collected through the website www.domenicosimone.com. This Privacy Policy, together with the Cookie Policy, sets out the basis on which the User’s personal Data will be processed.

DATA CONTROLLER

The Data Controller is Domenico Simone, based in Via del sole – Mola di Bari, Italy.

HOW PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED
The Personal Data provided or acquired will be processed in accordance with the principles of fairness, lawfulness, transparency and protection of confidentiality, pursuant to the regulations in force.

The Controller processes Users’ Personal Data by adopting appropriate security measures designed to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, modification or destruction of Personal Data.

Processing is carried out using computer and/or telematic tools, with organisational methods and logic strictly related to the purposes indicated. The personal data collected by this website include: Cookies, Usage Data, Email and Name. Personal data may be entered voluntarily by the user, or collected automatically while using this website.

1. Communication and dissemination of data

In addition to the Controller, in some cases the Data may be accessed by:

a) categories of specifically trained Authorised Persons involved in the organisation of the website (administrative, sales, marketing and legal staff, system administrators);

b) external parties (such as third-party technical service providers, hosting providers, IT companies, communication agencies) also appointed as Data Processors by the Controller pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. The updated list of Processors, if appointed, may always be requested from the Data Controller;

c) public or private entities that may access the Data in compliance with legal obligations;

d) parties carrying out tasks ancillary and instrumental to the Controller’s activity;

e) Users of the website who can view certain Data on the public profile of other Users in the closed group of the website.

2. Data voluntarily provided by the User

The optional, explicit and voluntary sending of e-mail, including through the Contact Form or the addresses shown on this website, entails the subsequent acquisition of the sender’s address, necessary to reply to requests, as well as any other Personal Data included in the e-mail. The User’s consent to provide data is necessary to be included in the Controller’s database and for the establishment and proper performance of what is offered by the Controller to its users, as well as to third parties for the fulfilment of the individual activity requested. Failure to provide data therefore prevents registration in the Controller’s databases, the conclusion of any contracts, their performance and any other activity. Consequently, the User’s failure to provide certain personal data may prevent this website from delivering its services.

3. Place of processing

Data is processed at the Controller’s operating office. For further information, you can contact the Data Controller.

4. Processing times

As expressly provided for by Art. 5(1)(e) of the GDPR, Data is stored for the time necessary for its Processing in relation to the service requested by the User, or required by the Purposes described in this document, and in particular:

Data collected for contractual obligations will be stored for the time necessary to fulfil the above purposes and as required by law;

Data collected for tax/administrative or contractual obligations will be stored for the time necessary to fulfil the above purposes and as required by law;

Data collected for Purposes related to the Controller’s legitimate interest will be retained until that interest is satisfied; the User can obtain further information on the legitimate interest pursued by the Controller by contacting the Controller.

Data collected on the basis of the User’s Consent may be stored until such Consent is withdrawn; Data may be stored by the Controller for a longer period in compliance with legal obligations or by order of an authority.

At the end of the retention period, Personal Data will be deleted and therefore the rights of access, erasure, rectification and data portability can no longer be exercised.

5. Purposes of processing of the data collected

The user’s data is collected to allow the website to provide its services, as well as for the following purposes: contacting the User, address management and sending of e-mail messages, interaction with external platforms, and statistics.

In particular:

a) to comply with any type of obligation provided for by current laws, regulations, related rules and commercial practices, in particular in tax/fiscal matters. This processing is mandatory in order to comply with a legal obligation to which the Data Controller is subject;

b) to follow up on specific requests made to the Controller by the User through the website and its communication tools (Contact Form, information request forms and the like). This processing is optional and based on the User’s consent; however, failure to provide one or more Data will make it impossible to deliver the service offered by the Controller;

c) for other purposes ancillary or related to those indicated above and in any case falling within the scope of the website’s activities;

d) to carry out statistical analyses on aggregated and anonymous data in order to analyse the User’s behaviour, improve the products and services provided by the Controller and meet the User’s expectations;

e) for profiling activities for marketing purposes. This Processing is based on the consent freely given by the User.

The types of Personal Data used for each purpose are indicated in the specific sections of this document.
