4. Methods of data processing

The processing of personal data takes place in compliance with the principles of lawfulness, fairness, transparency and minimization, as provided by Articles 5 and 25 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR").

Data is processed mainly with electronic and computer tools, through the adoption of adequate technical and organizational measures to ensure security, confidentiality, integrity and availability. In particular:

  • data is stored on secure servers protected by firewalls, encryption systems, continuous monitoring and other advanced protection tools;
  • access to data is reserved exclusively to authorized personnel, through personal credentials and multi-factor authentication;
  • data transfer, where applicable, takes place through encrypted protocols (e.g. HTTPS, TLS);periodic backups are performed to ensure availability and data recovery in case of accidental events or cyber attacks;

In some cases, for specific purposes (e.g. administrative or accounting management), data may also be processed in paper format, with controlled access and storage in protected environments.

Processing operations include, among others, collection, recording, organization, storage, consultation, use, communication, deletion and destruction of data. All activities are carried out in compliance with the principle of minimization, processing only the data necessary in relation to the purposes indicated in this notice.

Finally, the Controller periodically performs security tests, internal checks and system updates to ensure an adequate level of protection against risks arising from processing.

For the proper functioning of the Site and the platform, the Controller uses third-party suppliers who process personal data on behalf of the company, in compliance with the contractual and regulatory obligations provided by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR").

6. Mandatory or optional nature of data provision

The provision of personal data may be mandatory or optional in relation to the specific purposes for which the data is collected and processed, as described in this Privacy Policy.
