Information on the processing of personal data collected through the Site

Pursuant to EU Regulation no. 679/2016 (so-called GDPR), this section provides information regarding the processing of personal data of users who consult the pages of the website www.registry.retimpresa.it (hereinafter: “Site”), who register on the site and who use the services made available on the same.

The information is provided exclusively for the Site and not for other websites that may be consulted by the user through the links present within the Site.

The data controller is RetImpresa Servizi Srl, with registered office in Viale dell’Astronomia, 30 00144 Rome, e-mail: retimpresaregistry@confindustria.it.

Types of data processed and purposes of processing

The personal data processed are those provided by the user during registration and the contents exchanged or shared by the user through the communication and collaboration services offered on the Registry platform.

Registration on the platform is possible by entering some personal information, necessary to guarantee the identification of the user and the execution of the services offered to registered users. The processing is necessary to follow up on and/or satisfy the registration request and, therefore, pursuant to and for the purposes of art. 6, par. 1, letter b) of the GDPR, does not require the consent of the interested party.

The processing therefore concerns non-sensitive personal data, suitable for directly or indirectly identifying a natural person (e.g. name, surname, e-mail address. Telephone number, IP address) or a legal person (company name or denomination, Pec, e-mail address, telephone number, images, etc.).

To this end, RetImpresa Servizi invites interested parties not to send or communicate personal data that the GDPR defines as “particular” or sensitive, i.e. suitable to reveal racial and ethnic origin, religious, philosophical or other beliefs, political opinions, membership of parties, trade unions, associations or organizations of a religious, philosophical, political or trade union nature, as well as personal data relating to health, sexual orientation of the person.

The data of users registered on the platform will be used exclusively by RetImpresa Servizi for the creation and provision of services through the same platform, under the terms and conditions set out in this Regulation.

The Data Controller may also process personal data for the fulfillment of obligations established by laws, regulations and provisions issued by Authorities legitimated to do so, contractual obligations, as well as to ascertain, exercise and defend its rights in court. Such processing is based on the legitimate interest of the Data Controller to protect its rights.

Browsing data

Browsing data are those automatically acquired by the systems and programs used to operate the Site during the accreditation phases and in the subsequent phases of use of the same and are necessary for the use of web services (e.g. IP addresses or domain names of the terminals used by users).

According to the terms of this Section, the user acknowledges and accepts that RetImpresa Registry can use all the data provided or collected during the accreditation and matching phases and for the provision of services, including, by way of example, data relating to the use of the service and user data, on a historical, aggregate and anonymous basis (collectively, "Aggregate Data") in compliance with applicable laws and with the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy.

The data can also be used to process anonymous statistics on the consultation of the Site and to check its correct functioning. In these cases, the browsing data do not allow the identification of the interested users and are deleted after processing in anonymous form.

Browsing data may also be used to ascertain responsibility in the event of crimes against the Site or committed through the Site.

User-provided data

During the registration process, you are asked to provide the data as indicated in the registration forms. The data entered must be correct and must not violate any law or the rights of other people and/or organizations. The personal data provided by the user to use the services offered on the Site are processed in order to allow correct registration on the platform, the provision of the subscribed services and to follow up on requests submitted by users.

The personal data provided by the user for participation in the initiatives promoted by RetImpresa Servizi through the Registry platform are processed in order to allow the correct implementation of these activities, including the sending of notifications and other information on upcoming matchmaking events, the sending of service communications relating to the functioning of the marketplace, the planning and implementation of meetings, events, service offers and other initiatives that will animate Registry.

The information sent by users optionally and voluntarily to the addresses indicated on the Site (e.g. email address, subject of the email) are processed by the recipient of the communication in order to follow up on the requests received.

Therefore, pursuant to and for the purposes of art. 6, par. 1, letter b) of the GDPR, these types of processing fall within the legitimate interest of the Organizer to ensure correct and complete management of the functioning of the Registry and do not require the consent of the interested party.
