2. WHAT DATA WE PROCESS

We inform you that the personal data subject to processing may consist of – also depending on your decisions on how to use the services – an identifier such as the name, an identification number, location data, an online ID or one or more elements specifying your identity suitable to make the data subject identified or identifiable, depending on the type of services requested (hereinafter only “personal data” as defined in art. 4.1 of the GDPR).

The personal data processed through the Website are as follows:

a. Browsing data

During their normal operation, the computer systems and software procedures used to operate this Site acquire certain personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of internet communication protocols. This information is not collected with the intent of associating it with identified users but, by its very nature, may lead to the identification of users through processing and association with data held by third parties. This category of data includes IP addresses or domain names of computers used by persons who connect to the Website, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) of requested resources, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the size of the file received in response, the numerical code indicating the status of the reply given by the server (successful, error, etc.) and other parameters regarding the user’s operating system and computer environment. The data are used for the sole purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information about the use of the Website to check that it is functioning correctly, to identify any anomalies and/or abuse, and are deleted immediately after processing. The data could be used to ascertain responsibility in case of hypothetical cyber crimes to the detriment of the Website or third parties.

b. Data provided voluntarily by you – Particular Data

Except for reference to specific information, this Privacy Policy is also intended for the processing of data voluntarily provided by you throughthe Website. In this regard, we invite you not to include in the form, contained within the Website and not to communicate information that may fall within the category of particular categories of personal data as per art. 9 of the GDPR (for example, data referring to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical convictions, union membership, life/sexual orientation as well as genetic data, biometric data or data related to your health condition), unless it is specifically requested and subject to specific notice and consent.

c. Third party data provided voluntarily by you

In using certain services, personal data which you have provided to RF may be processed by third parties. In this event, you are the independent data controller, assuming all the legal obligations and responsibilities. In this sense, you confer on this point the widest indemnity with respect to any objection, claim, request for compensation for damages from processing etc. that should reach the Data Controller from third parties whose personal data has been processed through your use of the services on the Website in violation of the rules on the protection of relevant personal data. In any case, if you provide or otherwise mention personal data of third parties in the use of the Website, you guarantee from now – assuming all related liability – that this particular hypothesis of processing is based on the prior acquisition – on your part – of the consent of the third party to the processing of information concerning the same and to its dissemination and that said processing will be carried out in accordance with the GDPR.

d. Cookies

Information on cookies used by the Website is available at the following link.

3. PURPOSE OF DATA PROCESSING – WHY WE PROCESS YOUR DATA

Your personal data will be processed where applicable, with your consent where necessary, for the following purposes:

3.1. to allow navigation of the Website and the provision of RF services through the Website;

3.2. to find specific requests, including telephone calls, addressed to RF;

3.3. to fulfil any obligations under applicable laws, regulations or community legislation, or to satisfy requests from authorities;

3.4. to exercise the rights of the Data Controller;

3.5. to fulfil contractual and pre-contractual obligations deriving from existing relations with you;

3.6. for statistical purposes, without it being possible to trace your identity.

Your personal data, also included in the particular categories, will be processed using automated and non-automated tools. 

In order to prevent data loss, unlawful or incorrect use of data and unauthorised access, specific security measures have been implemented.

4. LEGAL BASIS AND OBLIGATORY OR OPTIONAL NATURE OF PROCESSING

The legal basis for processing personal data for the purposes set out in sections 3.1 and 3.2 and 3.5. is art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR ([…] processing is necessary for the performance of a contract of which the data subject is a party or for the execution of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the same), since the processing is necessary for the provision of services. The provision of personal data for these purposes is optional, but failure to provide them would make it impossible to activate the requested services. 

The legal basis for the purpose referred to in section 3.3 is art. 6(1)(c) of the GDPR ([…] processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which the data controller is subject). In fact, once the personal data have been transferred, the processing is indeed necessary to comply with the legal obligations to which RF is subject.

The legal basis for the purpose referred to in section 3.4 is art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (…. Processing is necessary for the pursuit of the legitimate interests of the data controller or of third parties, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject….). In fact, once the personal data have been transferred, it is indeed necessary for the pursuit of RF’s legitimate interest to the aforementioned conditions,

It is also specified that the processing referred to in section 3.6 is not performed on personal data and therefore can be freely carried out by RF.

Finally, in the event of any provision of Particular Data, if requested, the Processing has a legal basis in your consent pursuant to art. 9(2)(a) of the GDPR ([…] the data subject has given his/her explicit consent to the processing of such personal data for one or more specific purposes), subject to specific notice.

 5. RECIPIENTS OF PERSONAL DATA

Your personal data may be shared for the purposes set out in section 3 of this Privacy Policy with: 

5.1. subjects that typically act as data supervisors, namely: i) persons, companies or professional firms that provide assistance and advice to RF in accounting, administrative, legal, tax and financial matters or other types of advice; ii) subjects delegated to carry out technical or IT maintenance; iii) credit institutions, insurance companies; iv) companies and entities controlling, controlled and connected to RF, limited to the pursuit of administrative-accounting purposes connected with the performance of organisational, administrative, financial and accounting activities.
