Alifax S.r.l. does not collect personal data relating to under eighteen year-old persons. We therefore ask minors not to enter or communicate their personal data.

  1. Legal Basis of the Processing and conferment of personal data

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data includes a processing that is:

  1. based on obtaining the specific consent of the Data Subject for the purposes set out in point B), art. 3
  2. based on the execution of the contract with the user who registers in the User Area of the website of Alifax S.r.l. in order to obtain scientific-divulgative news;

iii.     in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract and for the legitimate interest of Alifax S.r.l., for example to manage relations with the user and to improve the services offered, as well as to carry out direct marketing activities

The provision of common personal data, with regard to the purpose of correct registration in the User Area or filling in the contact form, is not mandatory (neither contractually nor legally) but it is necessary/functional to complete the registration and access the User Area rather than to follow up the request sent through the contact form. Any refusal by the Data Subject to provide the relevant personal data, or the incorrect communication of such data, makes it impossible to complete the registration or follow up the contact request (if the data entry fields are marked with “*”).

With reference to personal data collected/managed for purposes of trade promotion and/or direct marketing activities, the conferment is not mandatory (neither contractually nor legally) but is necessary/functional for the performance of such purposes. Any refusal by the interested party to provide the relevant personal data, or the incorrect communication of such data, makes it impossible to carry out the marketing / trade promotion activity (if the data entry fields are marked with “*”) or the execution of a marketing / trade promotion activity that does not take into consideration the specificities of the interested user (if the data entry fields are not marked with “*”).

It will always be possible for the interested party to revoke at any time the consent originally provided, or to oppose the processing (for direct marketing), with the consequent immediate interruption of the processing of the data provided for the relevant purposes. The revocation of consent (or opposition) for only some of the purposes indicated, will have no effect on the regular execution of the other purposes indicated.

  1. Methods of the Processing

The processing of your personal data is carried out by means of the operations indicated in art. 4 no. 2) of the GDPR, namely: collection, recording, organisation, structuring, preservation, adaptation, modification, extraction, consultation, use, communication by transmission, dissemination or any other form of making available, comparison, interconnection, limitation, erasure and destruction. Your personal data are processed both on paper and electronically and/or digitally, with organisational and processing logics strictly related to the purposes and in any case in such a way as to guarantee the security, integrity and confidentiality of the data.

  1. Access and Communication

Your personal data may be made accessible and/or communicated to employees and collaborators of the Data Controller, the exclusive owner of the customer database of Alifax S.r.l., who maintain and manage them directly – in their capacity as authorised subjects and/or internal data processor and/or system administrators. Personal data may also be communicated for the aforementioned purposes to consultants and freelancers, also in an associated and specifically appointed form (for example, business consultants, law firms, etc.), public/private subjects for whom the communication is obligatory or necessary in fulfilment of legal or functional obligations for the execution of the requested service (for example, the operator of the website).

With reference to the purpose of take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract and trade promotion, especially in view of the different geographical areas in which the interested user carries out its activity, the data may be transmitted to the subsidiary and local distributors of the Data Controller in order to properly carry out the pre-contractual activity and trade promotion in relation to the specific characteristics of the geographical area of reference and the products concerned.

Your personal data won’t be disseminated.

 

 

  1. Data Transfer

The processing and storage of personal data will take place within the European Union on servers located in Italy of the Data Controller and/or third party companies appointed and duly appointed as Data Processors.

With reference to the purpose of take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract and trade promotion, as indicated in point 6 above, the data may be transmitted to the subsidiary and authorised distributors of the Data Controller competent for the geographical area and the reference products.  So, the data may be transmitted outside the European Economic Area. The countries in which personal data may be transmitted in relation to the geographical area of reference of the user are those listed on the web page https://www.alifax.com/company/. For the purpose of the trade promotion, the processing is carried out on the basis of the express consent of the data subject (the transfer, if applicable, is essential for the correct execution of the trade promotion service, the lack of consent or the revocation of the same will make it impossible to access the service).

  1. Period of data retention

The Data Controller will process the personal data collected for the time necessary to fulfil the pre-contract and contract, provided that it constitutes the legal basis of the processing, and, in any case, for no more than 10 years from the end of the relationship; for the purposes specify in lett. B) of point 3, if it is not direct marketing, your data may be processed for a maximum of 24 months from the date of receipt of the request.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment (usually to the user’s browser) by visited websites; they are stored in the user’s terminal equipment to be then re-transmitted to the websites on the user’s subsequent visits to those websites. When navigating a website, a user may happen to receive cookies from other websites or web servers, which are the so-called “third party” cookies. This happens because the visited website may contain items such as images, maps, sound files, links to individual web pages on different domains that are located on servers other than the one where the page being visited is stored. Cookies are present as a rule in substantial numbers in each user’s browser and at times they remain stored for long. They are used for several purposes ranging from IT authentication to the monitoring of browsing sessions up to the storage of specific information on user configurations in accessing a given server, and so on.

They are not used for further purposes and are usually installed directly by the data controller or the website manager. They can be grouped into browsing or session cookies, which allow users to navigate and use a website (e.g. to purchase items online or authenticate themselves to access certain sections); analytics cookies, which can be equated to technical cookies insofar as they: (i) are used only to produce aggregate statistics and in relation to a single site; (ii) is masked, for those of third parties, at least the fourth component of the IP address; (iii) third parties refrain from combining analytical cookies, so minimized, with other processing or from transmitting them to other third parties; functional cookies, which allow users to navigate as a function of certain pre-determined criteria such as language or products to be purchased  so as to improve the quality of service. Users’ prior consent is not necessary to install these cookies, whilst information under Section 13 of the legislative decree No. 196 of 30 June 2003) has to be provided in the manner considered to be most appropriate by the website manager – if only such cookies are relied upon.
