Privacy Policy
1. Regulatory references
Directive 2002/58/EC – on the “processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector”
Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation).
2. The data controller
Following consultation of the website www.sintopel.it, data relating to identified or identifiable persons may be processed. The “controller” of their processing is Sintopel S.r.l. srl, Via Milano, 37 59013 Montemurlo (PO).
3. Types of data processed
Browsing data
During normal operation, the IT systems and software procedures used to operate this website acquire some personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols. This information is not collected to be associated with identified data subjects, but by its very nature could, through processing and association with data held by third parties, allow users to be identified. This category of data includes IP addresses or domain names of computers used by users connecting to the site, URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of requested resources, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in response, the numerical code indicating the status of the response given by the server (successful, error, etc.) etc.) and other parameters relating to the user’s operating system and IT environment. This data is used for the sole purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information on the use of the site and to check its correct functioning and is deleted immediately after processing.
Data provided voluntarily by the user
The optional, explicit, and voluntary submission of personal data by the user in the registration forms on this website or by calling any telephone numbers listed on the website entails the subsequent acquisition of the data provided by the sender, which is necessary for the provision of the service or information requested.
Anonymous or aggregated data
Anonymization is a form of processing that aims to prevent the identification of the data subject. Anonymized data does not fall within the scope of data protection legislation. Aggregated data may be derived from personal data provided by the user but is not considered personal data because, as specified, it does not allow the identification of the data subject either directly or indirectly.
4. Cookies
Cookies are small text files containing a certain amount of information exchanged between a website and the user’s terminal (usually the browser). They are mainly used for the purpose of making websites work and operating more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website itself. Cookies can be either session or persistent. Session cookies remain stored on the device for a short period of time and are deleted as soon as the user closes the browser. Their use is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (consisting of random numbers generated by the server) necessary to enable the safe and efficient exploration of the site.
Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain stored on the user’s terminal until a pre-set expiry date. As these are not deleted directly when the browser is closed, they allow the choices made by the user on the site to be remembered, as well as collecting information about the pages of the site visited by the user, the frequency with which the site is visited, and identifying the navigation path of users, in order to improve the experience on this site.
Finally, session or persistent cookies can be first-party or third-party, depending on whether the entity that installs the cookies on the user’s terminal is the same operator of the site that the user is visiting (in which case they are referred to as first-party cookies) or a different entity (in which case they are referred to as third-party cookies).

In the aforementioned cases, the Data Controller shall appoint such third parties as Data Processors pursuant to Article 28 of the GDPR. Outside of these cases, personal data will not be communicated to third parties except as required by contract or law, or with the specific consent of the data subject. In this sense, personal data may be transmitted to third parties, but only and exclusively in the following cases:
a) there is explicit consent to share the data with third parties;
b) there is a need to share the information with third parties in order to provide the requested service;
c) this is necessary to comply with requests from the Judicial Authority or Public Security.
No data deriving from the web service is disclosed.
