3. Purposes of Processing.
Your personal data will be processed for the following purposes:
or ensure the proper functioning of certain areas of the Site;
or measure and analyze the Site's audience (volume of visitors, pages viewed, average browsing time etc.) in order to help the Owner improve its performance;
4. Justification/Legal Basis.
Pursuant to Art. 31 nLPD c. and Art.6 EU Reg. 679/2016, the lawfulness condition (legal basis) for the processing of your personal data is consent, in compliance with Art. 31 nLPD c. and Art. 6(1)(a) EU Reg. 679/2016. The user who accesses the Site is free to give consent or not, which can, however, be revoked at any time. Providing the data necessary for these purposes is not mandatory and refusal to provide them does not determine any negative consequence for the user or prevent navigation of the Site. With regard to third-party cookies, these fall under the direct and exclusive responsibility of the third-party operator. Therefore, the User is invited to consult the information on privacy and use of third-party cookies directly on the sites of the respective operators indicated in this Policy.
5. Methods of Personal Data Processing.
The processing of personal data collected through the Site is carried out mainly using electronic or web-based means, exclusively by personnel authorized to process them, with automated tools and for the time strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which they were collected. The aforementioned information will be entered into an electronic database until the time of the processing of the request by the Data Controller and the conclusion of any related activities. Please be warned that the possible transmission of data via the Internet cannot achieve absolute security standards. Therefore, it is the user's responsibility to verify the correctness of the personal data concerning him/her and, if necessary, to proceed to correct, update or, in any case, modify the data in the course of processing. It is also the user's responsibility to take appropriate security measures in order to avert the danger of interception, loss, alteration or destruction of e-mail messages. At the Controller's office, processing may be carried out in paper form. In both cases, personal data are entered into the database secured by the Data Controller and managed by the data processors and authorized persons. The list of data processors and any authorized persons is available at the registered office of the Data Controller.
6. Possibility of Transfer of Personal Data to Third Countries and/or an International Organization.
The user's personal data, collected as a result of the user's voluntary browsing of this website, may be transferred abroad to third countries that do not have the same data protection laws as the country where the information was initially provided, as this website is hosted by "Squarespace" which uses servers located in the United States and the Data Controller has enabled Squarespace Analytics. Squarespace's privacy policy can be found at the following link:
In detail, Squarespace relies on a number of means to transfer personal information that are subject to: (a) the European General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") in accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR; or (b) applicable UK data privacy laws in accordance therewith. These include:
- Standard Data Protection Clauses. Squarespace transfers, in accordance with Article 46 of the GDPR, personal information to recipients who have entered into the contract approved by the European Commission for the transfer of personal data outside the European Economic Area. Squarespace transfers, in accordance with U.K. law, personal information to recipients who have entered into the international data transfer agreement approved by the U.K. Information Commissioner's Office and the U.K. addendum to that contract approved by the European Commission.
- Other Means . Squarespace may, in accordance with Articles 45 and 46 of the GDPR, transfer personal information to recipients that are located in a country that the European Commission or a European data protection supervisory authority has confirmed, by decision, offers an adequate level of data protection, pursuant to an approved certification mechanism or code of conduct, together with binding and enforceable commitments by the recipient to apply appropriate safeguards, including with regard to the rights of data subjects, or to data controllers that have committed to binding corporate standards.
Archived data may also be accessible to law enforcement and national security authorities under certain circumstances.
7.Security of Personal Data
The Data Controller adopts, at both technical and organizational levels, appropriate security measures to protect the user's personal data from manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons as well as to ensure the user's rights and compliance with applicable data protection provisions.
8. Additional Information: Amendment/Enforcement.
The owner reserves the right to change, update, add or remove parts of this privacy policy at its own discretion and at any time. Before using the Site or related resources (e-mail, telephone, social accounts, etc.), it is therefore incumbent upon the user to verify the tenor of the current policy. In order to facilitate such verification, the notice will contain the date of update.
