It applies to the website https://www.connectequipe.com (the “Site”) and not to any third-party websites that may be reached through links on the Site.

This notice is provided pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and to the data protection legislation in force.

DATA CONTROLLER

The Data Controller is Connect Informatics S.r.l., with offices at Via G.A. Borgese 27, 00124 Rome, Italy. For any request concerning the protection of personal data, you may send a message to privacy@connectinformatics.com.

WHERE DATA IS PROCESSED

Processing connected with the web services of the Site takes place in Italy, at the Controller’s premises or at data centres located in European Union countries, and is carried out by specifically appointed staff, also in compliance with the GDPR.

No data arising from browsing the Site is disclosed to unauthorised third parties. Personal data provided voluntarily by data subjects may be communicated to external parties – duly appointed as Data Processors under Article 28 GDPR – only where necessary for statutory purposes or in order to deliver the services requested (e.g. shipping, logistics services, review of curricula vitae).

TYPES OF DATA PROCESSED

Browsing data

The IT systems and software procedures responsible for the operation of this Site acquire, in the course of their normal operation, certain personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols.

This is information which, by its very nature, could – through association and processing with data held by third parties – make it possible to identify users. This category includes, for example:

• IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by users
• URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of the resources requested
• Time of the request
• Method used to submit the request to the server
• Size of the file obtained in response
• Numerical code indicating the status of the server’s response (success, error, etc.)
• Parameters relating to the user’s operating system and IT environment
• Cookies (as described in the Cookies Policy)

This data is used solely in order to obtain anonymous statistical and marketing information on the use of the Site, to check that it is working correctly and, in the event of any computer offences, to establish liability.

Data provided voluntarily by the user

The voluntary and optional sending of e-mail messages to the addresses shown on this Site, or the completion of the forms available on it (e.g. the “Contact” and “Newsletter” forms, or sending a curriculum vitae), entails the acquisition of the personal data provided (first name, surname, e-mail address, contact details, information contained in the CV, etc.), which will be processed solely in order to answer the request or deliver the service requested.

Providing this data is optional, but failure to provide it may make it impossible to carry out what has been requested.

PURPOSES AND LEGAL BASIS OF PROCESSING

Personal data is processed by the Controller in order to:

• Provide the services requested (e.g. answering questions, issuing quotations, sending information material, handling job applications, etc.): the legal basis is the performance of pre-contractual measures or the performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).
• Comply with legal obligations (e.g. invoicing, tax obligations, handling of complaints, compliance): the legal basis is compliance with a legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR).
• Analyse use of the Site and produce statistics (e.g. measuring the number of visitors and the pages visited more or less often), including through tools such as Matomo: the legal basis is the user’s consent and/or the Controller’s legitimate interest in improving the Site and its services (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

WEB ANALYTICS PROCESSING (MATOMO)

The Site uses Matomo, an open source web analytics platform, to collect and analyse – in anonymous form – information about visitor behaviour. This makes it possible to identify any usability problems, to better understand which content is of most interest to users and, in general, to improve the browsing experience.

Matomo processes the following anonymous data:

• Cookies (see the Cookies Policy page for details)
• IP address (anonymised in the last two octets)
• Approximate location (general geolocation)
• Randomised user ID

In addition, for statistical purposes and to improve the service, information such as the date and time of the visit, the title and URL of the pages viewed, the previously visited page, the screen resolution, the duration of the session, interactions with elements of the Site, etc. is collected.

This anonymous data:

• Is kept for a maximum period of 14 months
• Does not allow the user to be identified directly
• Is not used for individual profiling

If you do not wish Matomo to track your browsing data (albeit always in anonymous form), you may disable collection by clicking the relevant opt-out link (where present on the Site) or by managing your cookie preferences (see below).

RETENTION PERIODS

Personal data is processed and kept for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected. In particular:

• Browsing data: kept for the duration of the session and deleted shortly afterwards (unless it is necessary to establish computer offences against the Site).
• Contact data (forms, e-mail): kept for as long as is necessary to meet the request and/or to comply with contractual or legal obligations.
• Data collected through Matomo: kept for a maximum of 14 months.

COMMUNICATION AND DISCLOSURE OF DATA

Personal data will not be disclosed to the public, but may be communicated to external parties appointed as Data Processors (Article 28 GDPR) or to authorised internal staff, where necessary in order to deliver the services requested or to comply with legal obligations. Any data collected by third-party suppliers (such as Matomo) is processed on the basis of the respective agreements with the Controller and the standard contractual clauses, where required by law.

RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT

In accordance with Articles 15-22 GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data concerning you.
• Request rectification of inaccurate data or completion of incomplete data.
• Obtain erasure (right to be forgotten) of personal data where it is no longer necessary, if there is no other legal basis for the processing.
• Obtain restriction of processing where the conditions laid down by law are met.
• Object at any time to processing based on legitimate interest.
• Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent given before its withdrawal.
• Request portability of the data, where applicable.
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in Italy, the Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali).

To exercise your rights, you may write to privacy@connectinformatics.com.

OBLIGATION OR OPTION TO PROVIDE DATA

Providing browsing data is necessary in order to use the Site; providing data supplied voluntarily (e.g. for contact, sending a CV, subscribing to the newsletter) is optional, but failure to provide it may make it impossible to carry out the requests.

The installation of Matomo statistical cookies is optional and takes place only with prior consent given through the banner. Browsing without such cookies remains possible.

EXISTENCE OF AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING

The Controller does not carry out any automated decision-making producing legal effects on the user, nor any automated profiling.
