Privacy policy

IACNET is committed to protecting the online privacy of the users of this website. As such, this Privacy Policy has been written in order to allow you to understand IACNET’s policy regarding your privacy, as well as how users’ personal information will be handled when using the Website. In general, any information and data which you provide over the Website, or which is otherwise gathered by the Website will be processed according to principles such as purpose limitation, storage limitation, data minimization, data quality and confidentiality.

1. Data Controller

Data Controller is IACNET s.r.l., with registered office in Rivalta di Torino (To), Fraz. Pasta, Via Massimo D’Antona n.1/11 C.F. e P.Iva: 10835200014. You can contact Data Controller at the following e-mail address: info@iacnet.eu.

2. Personal Data processed and purposes of processing

When users use the Website, IACNET will collect and process information regarding them such as follow.

Browsing data

The Website’s operation, as is standard with any websites on the Internet, involves the use of computer systems and software procedures, which collect information about the Website’s users as part of their routine operation. While IACNET does not collect this information in order to link it to specific users, it is still possible to identify those users either directly via that information, or by using other information collected – as such, this information must also be considered Personal Data.

This information includes several parameters related to your operating system and IT environment, including your IP address, location (country), the domain names of your computer, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of resources you request on the Website, the time of requests made, the method used to submit requests to the server, the dimensions of the file obtained in response to a request, the numerical code indicating the status of the response sent by the server (successful, error, etc.), and so on.

These data are used to compile statistical information on the use of the Website, as well as to ensure its correct operation and identify any faults and/or abuse of the Website. Save from this last purpose, these data do not persist for more than 7 working days.

Name, contact details, other Personal Data and special categories of Personal Data

Certain areas of the Website (such as the form to request) include free text fields where you can provide IACNET with some information, which users may use to submit information such as your name, phone number, e-mail address.

By filling in the contact form with their Data, the users consent to their use to respond to requests for information or any other kind.

Where these fields are completely free, users may use them to disclose (inadvertently or not) more sensitive categories of Personal Data, such as data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership. The content upload in these fields may also (inadvertently or not) include other types of sensitive information relating to you, such as genetic data, biometric data or data concerning health, sex life or sexual orientation.

IACNET asks that users do not disclose any sensitive Personal Data on the Website, unless they consider this to be strictly necessary. As it is totally optional to provide this information, if users do, please mind that IACNET needs your explicit consent to process this kind of Personal Data. IACNET would stress on the importance of providing explicit consent to process this sort of Personal Data if users decide, nonetheless, to share it.

These messages may (inadvertently or not) also include Personal Data related to other persons. In any situation where users decide to share Personal Data related to other persons, users will be considered as an independent data controller regarding that Personal Data and must assume all inherent legal obligations and responsibilities. This means, among other things, that users must fully indemnify IACNET against any complaints, claims or demands for compensation for damages which may arise from the processing of this Personal Data, brought by the third parties whose information you provide through the Website.

As IACNET does not collect this information directly from these third parties (but rather collects them, indirectly, from you), users must make sure that you have these third parties’ consent before providing any information regarding them to IACNET; if not, then you must make sure there is some other appropriate grounds on which you can rely to lawfully give IACNET this information.

3. Lawful basis for processing and mandatory / discretionary nature of processing

Legal bases for processing users’ Personal Data, according to the purposes identified in Section 2, are as follows:

– Service Provision: processing for these purposes is necessary to provide the Services. It is not mandatory for users to give IACNET their Personal Data for these purposes; however, if users do not, IACNET will not be able to provide any Services to them.

– Soft Spam: processing for this purpose is based on the interest of IACNET of sending users direct e-mail marketing communication regarding products and services similar to those they have asked for information through the use of the Website. Users can block these communications, and they will suffer no consequence if you do so (aside from not being able to receive further communications).

– Profiling: processing for this purpose is based on users’ consent collected by means of the banner cookie. It is not mandatory for users to give consent to IACNET for use of your Personal Data for this purpose, and they will suffer no consequence if you choose not to. Any consent given may also be withdrawn at a later stage.

– Compliance: processing for this purpose is necessary for IACNET to comply with its legal obligations. When users provide any Personal Data, IACNET must process it in accordance with the laws applicable to it, which may include retaining and reporting users Personal Data to official authorities for compliance with tax, customs or other legal obligations.

– Misuse/Fraud: Information collected for this purpose is used exclusively to prevent and detect fraudulent activities or misuse of the Website (for potentially criminal purposes).
