TYPES OF DATA PROCESSED

Navigation Data

The IT systems used to operate this website acquire certain personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols. This information is not collected to be associated with identified individuals but could, through processing and association with data held by third parties, enable user identification.

This category of data includes the IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by users connecting to the site, URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers), the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the numerical code indicating the status of the server’s response (success, error, etc.), and other parameters related to the user’s operating system and computing environment. These data are used solely to obtain anonymous statistical information about site usage and verify its proper functioning and are deleted immediately after processing. The data may be used to determine liability in the event of cybercrimes against the site.

Data Voluntarily Provided by Users

Voluntary, explicit, and optional submission of data through online forms or emails sent to addresses provided on this site entails the processing of the sender’s data or email address, necessary to respond to requests.
