PRIVACY POLICY – INFORMATION FOR THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

Following the entry into force of the new European Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) regarding privacy and considering the importance we place on protecting your personal data, we have updated our privacy notice based on the principle of transparency and all elements required by the GDPR. For completeness, compliance with legal requirements, and operational functionality, we have drafted a preparatory document for the implementation of the regulatory principles and detailed rules, which is the Internal Regulation, which can also be consulted in relation to identifying the various roles of the Data Controller, Data Processors, External Processors, and External Authorized Persons.

This Website collects some Personal Data of its Users. The information is provided in relation to Articles 13 and 14 of EU Regulation 2016/679.
