In compliance with art. 19 of the EU Regulation, PLS S.r.l. shall inform the recipients to whom the personal data have been communicated of any requests to rectify, erase or restrict processing, where possible.

With regard to the processing purposes for which consent is required, the data subject may withdraw consent at any time and with immediate effect, subject to the terms established by law. In general terms, withdrawal of consent only produces effects for the future.

7. The right to make a complaint (Art. 13, paragraph 2(d) of the GDPR)

Data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Supervisory Authority for the protection of personal data, if they consider that processing activities regarding their personal data have been carried out in breach of the applicable legislation.

The data subjects’ rights and the procedures for lodging a complaint are described by the Supervisory Authority at the web address:

http://www.garanteprivacy.it/web/guest/home/docweb/-/docweb-display/docweb/4535524  alternatively, a written communication can be sent to the Italian Supervisory Authority for the protection of personal data.

8. The possible consequences of failure to provide personal data and how personal data is to be provided (Art. 13 paragraph 2 (e) of the GDPR)

8.1   Cases in which the data subject grants consent

You are hereby informed that the legal basis for the above-mentioned purposes is consent, in relation to these purposes, the data subject can withdraw such consent at any time with immediate effect, subject to the terms established by law. In general terms, the withdrawal of consent shall only be effective for the future, therefore any processing that has been carried out before consent was withdrawn is not affected and shall remain legitimate.

Failure to grant consent, or partial consent (or withdrawal of consent), may mean that the full delivery of services or the performance of activities is not guaranteed, with reference to the individual purposes for which consent is denied, and shall not prejudice or impede other purposes (and activities related thereto) which are not explicitly included in or affected by the denial of consent or which do not have consent as their legal basis for data processing.

It should be noted that, with reference to requests for information, although consent to the processing of personal data is free and optional, such processing is necessary in order to respond to the request. Therefore, on sending a request or an equivalent indication of the data subject’s wishes, consent shall be deemed to have been granted, this consent is always revocable with the consequences described above

When data are no longer necessary, they are routinely erased, if erasure is impossible or only possible by making a disproportionate effort due to the specific storage method, the data shall not be processed and must be stored in areas that are not accessible.

9. The existence of an automated decision-making process (including profiling)

The use of decision-making processes based solely on automated procedures, as detailed in article 22 of the GDPR is currently ruled out. Should it be decided in the future to begin using such processes for individual cases, the data subject will receive separate notification if this is required by law or an update to this privacy notice.

10. Data processing methods

The personal data will be processed in paper, electronic and digital format and will be entered into the relevant databases which may be accessed by operators who would therefore become aware of the data; all such operators are specifically appointed by the Data Controller as Data Processors and Authorised Operators for the processing of personal data, they may be required to carry out operations which include consultation, use, processing, comparison and any other appropriate operations that may also be automated, in compliance with the provisions of law, and which are necessary to ensure, inter alia, the confidentiality, security and accuracy of the data, as well as updating the data and ensuring relevance with respect to the stated purposes.

 The processing of data for internet browsing purposes

The computer systems and software procedures used to operate this website acquire some personal data during normal operations, transmission of which is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols.

These data are not collected for the purpose of associating them with identified data subjects, however by their very nature they could, by means of processing and association with data held by third parties, allow users to be identified.

The information that may be collected includes IP addresses, the type of browser or operating system used, URI addresses (uniform resource identifier), the domain name and addresses of the websites used for access or exit (referring/exit pages), the time at which the request was made to the server, the method used and information obtained on the response, further information on user browsing on the website (kindly also refer to the section on cookies) and other parameters relating to the user’s operating system and environment.

In the event of cybercrimes committed against the website, these same data could also be used to identify those responsible and call them to account.

Notice concerning children under 14 years of age

Children under the age of 14 may not provide personal data. PLS S.r.l. shall not be liable in any way in the event that personal data, as well as false statements, are provided by children, moreover, should the use of such data be detected, PLS S.r.l. shall facilitate the rights of access and erasure requested by the legal guardian or the person with parental responsibility.

Amendments and updates
