This information is provided by Pre Gel S.p.A., in its capacity as Data Controller, according to Articles 13 and 14 of the New EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) no. 679/16 to those who interact with the web services of the Company itself.

  1. DATA PROCESSING LOCATION

The processing operations related to the web services of our websites – www.pregel.it, www.pregeltraining.com, www.pregelfamily.com, www.pinopinguino.eu, www.yoggi.it – take place at the offices of PREGEL SPA or the suppliers of Internet and hosting/housing services, in their capacity as Data Processors.

The personal data supplied by the users who request dispatch of informative material (newsletters, information, catalogues, CD-ROMs, etc.) are used with the sole purpose of supplying or performing the service requested and are communicated to third parties only if necessary for this purpose (dispatching services of PREGEL SPA). Any other purpose will be the subject of specific information provided to the interested parties according to Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR.

  1. PURPOSE OF PROCESSING – CATEGORIES OF DATA PROCESSED
    Browsing data

The computer systems and software procedures ensuring the proper functioning of this Website collect certain personal data that are implicitly transmitted by the use of Internet communication protocols or are used to improve the quality of the service offered.

This information is not collected to identify interested parties, but the information could lead to user identification through processes and relations with data held by third parties due to its very nature.

This data category includes IP addresses, or domain names, of the computers used by users to connect to the Website, URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of the requested resources, time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, size of the file obtained in response, numerical code indicating the server response status (successful, error, etc.), and other parameters on the user’s operating system, and IT environment.

Such data is solely used to compile anonymous statistics on the website’s use and verify its correct operation. The data could be used to ascertain responsibility in hypothetical cybercrimes to harm the Website and may be presented to the Judicial Authorities if the latter explicitly requests it.

Data deliberately provided by users

The Data Controller processes the personal identification data – for example: name, surname, tax identification number, user images recorded on social networks, address, telephone, email, reference company, main activity carried out – provided by the user when filling out the several forms published on the websites, in addition to the additional information voluntarily entered by the same user in the text messages.

  1. NATURE OF DATA PROVISION AND CONSEQUENCES OF NON-DISCLOSURE

The data identified in the several forms as compulsory must necessarily be provided to enable the Data Controller to process the requests made by the user and provide the services offered.

  1. PURPOSE OF DATA PROCESSING

  1. processing requests for information received (contact form);

The legal basis for the processing will instead be the consent freely given for the following purposes:

  1. provide the newsletter service to keep the user updated on the Data Controller’s news and commercial promotions (newsletter subscription);
  2. sending promotional messages for commercial purposes (landing pages).

Consent can be withdrawn at any time (including through the opt-out system at the bottom of email communications). Data processing that was carried out before the withdrawal is not affected by it.

  1. DATA PROCESSING METHODS

Personal data processing is carried out through operations indicated in Article 4, paragraph 2 of the GDPR: collection, recording, consultation, storage, extraction, communication, cancellation, and destruction. Personal data is processed both on paper and electronically.

The Data Controller will process personal data for the time necessary to fulfil the purposes as mentioned above and, in any case, will retain it:

– for the time necessary to process the services requested concerning the purpose outlined in point 4(a);

– until the deletion by the user of their profile, in any case, two years after the last use of the profile, for the purpose referred to in point 4(b);

– two years from the collection of consent, for the purposes referred to in point 4(c) and (d).

  1. DATA ACCESS

Personal data may be made accessible for the purposes listed above to:

  • employees, collaborators, administrators of the Data Controller, in their capacity as authorised Data Processors;
  • third party companies or other entities – for example: consultants, hosting/housing service providers, etc. – which perform outsourcing activities on behalf of the Data Controller in their capacity as Data Processors.
  1. DATA DISCLOSURE

Without the need for express consent, according to Article 6 (b) and (c) of the GDPR, the Data Controller may communicate personal data for the above purposes to Judicial Authorities and those subjects to whom communication is mandatory by law. These persons will process the data in their capacity as autonomous Data Controllers.
