We trust that the information below will help to explain the kind of data that we usually collect via the website www.ialux.it (the Website), how we use and protect that data, and whom we share it with.

 

Please be advised, under article 13 of Legislative Decree 196/2003 (the Privacy Code) and article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the GDPR), that your personal data will be processed in a lawful, transparent, proportionate way in compliance with the applicable personal-data protection and security legislation to protect your privacy and rights, as detailed below.

 

  1. WEBSITE-USE DATA

The information systems and computer programs used to operate the Website collect some personal data that is sent to us as an inevitable result of communicating via the internet. This type of data includes: the IP addresses or domain names of computers that you use when visiting the Website; URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of the resources requested; the time of the request; the method used to send the request to the server; the size of the file obtained in response; the numeric code for the response status from the server (success, error, etc.); and other details of your operating system and computing environment. When collecting this information, we do not seek to associate it with identified individuals. By its nature, though, it could potentially be used – by processing it and linking it with data held by third parties – to identify you.

This data is used only to obtain statistical information on use of the Website and to ensure that the Website works properly; the data is deleted immediately after processing and is not associated with any data that could identify you. The data could be used to investigate who is responsible for any cybercrimes that damage the Website.

Types of processing include collecting, recording, organising, structuring, keeping, adapting, modifying, extracting, consulting, using, and communicating by sending, disseminating or any other means of making it available, comparing, linking, restricting, deleting or destroying.

The personal data that we hold is essentially:

-          identification details (name, surname, email address, country)
