The provision of such data is optional, but refusal to provide it would not allow the Data Controller to satisfy the request of the Data Subject.
The consent of the Data Subject is not required for the processing of personal data necessary for these purposes, since the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the Data Subject is party or to take steps at his request prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and, where applicable, to comply with a legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

The data will be processed by personnel appointed by the Data Controller with procedures, technical and IT tools suitable for protecting the confidentiality and security of the Data Subject's personal data. The processing consists of the collection, registration, organisation, storage, consultation, processing, modification, selection, extraction, comparison, use, interconnection, blocking, communication, dissemination, cancellation, destruction of the data, including the combination of two or more of the aforementioned activities.

Data are kept for the time strictly necessary to provide the user with the requested service and are erased immediately afterwards, subject to further storage obligations established by law. The data will not be disseminated.

In order to carry out the aforementioned purposes, the Data Controller may also use the services of third parties acting on behalf of and in accordance with the instructions of the Data Controller and appointed as Data Processors, such as providers of processing or instrumental services, including, for example, IT service providers for the operation of the Website.
Please also see the Policy for Website users.

The GDPR gives Data Subjects the right to ask the Data Controller for access to their Personal Data, to rectify or erase it (“right to be forgotten”), or to restrict its processing, as well as to object to its processing. 

If the processing is based on consent or on the performance of a contractual obligation and is carried out with the aid of automated tools, the Data Subject shall have the right to obtain the relevant personal data in a structured format, in a language generally accepted in the industry and readable by automatic means, and, if technically feasible, to request its communication to another controller without impediment. 

Data Subjects then have the right to withdraw their consent at any time, without prejudice to the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent given prior to the withdrawal.

The above description is indicative, with reference to articles 7, 15-22, of the GDPR.

To exercise these rights, the Data Subject may contact the Data Controller by sending a written request to the dedicated email address: privacy.info@neogy.it
The Data Controller has appointed, pursuant to Art. 37 of the GDPR, a Data Protection Officer (DPO), who can be contacted at the email address: dpo@neogy.it, specifying the content of the request in the subject line.

Users of the Website have the right to withdraw their consent to the use of non-technical cookies, such as analytical and statistical cookies and/or profiling cookies and third-party cookies, as well as to refuse to accept cookies used for marketing purposes, without affecting the functioning and features of the Website, by accessing the relevant section at the bottom of the pages visited.

3. Purpose of the processing

The processing of personal data may have the following purposes:

1) the drawing up of contracts and the fulfilment of contractual obligations (for and on behalf of the Data Controller) and therefore for purposes strictly related to the management of customer relations, including administrative and accounting formalities and obligations (for example: the acquisition of information preliminary to the conclusion of a contract; the execution of operations based on the obligations deriving from the contract concluded with customers, including, where necessary, the activation of the POD and any request for incentives; to manage discounted rates; to implement the agreed payment methods; for operational and managerial needs; the preparation of reports regarding the contractually agreed services; for payment control needs and consequent actions; to access and possibly use all the services, including interactive ones, of the Website and the APP, etc.; the acquisition of the information necessary for the management of complaints and/or requests for information relating to services; dispute management - contractual breaches; notices; transactions; debt collection; arbitration; legal disputes, etc.-);

2)fulfilment of regulatory obligations (from both national and community sources) and the provisions issued by authorities legitimated by the law and by supervisory and control bodies;

3) (if the data subject does not object) to send communications to the email address provided by the data subject for the direct sale of products or services similar to those already supplied, provided that the data subject, having been duly informed, does not object to such use, either initially or in subsequent communications;

4) (with the consent of the data subject) the promotion and sale of products and services (including those of Group companies, but without the transfer of data to them), carried out by means of letters, telephone, advertising material, automated communication systems, newsletters via email, etc. Market and customer satisfaction surveys, carried out also through the work of specialised companies, by means of personal or telephone interviews, questionnaires, online surveys, aimed at the specific proposal of products and services (marketing);

5) (with the consent of the data subject) carrying out automated activities aimed at analysing preferences, habits and/or consumption choices in order to offer products or services that are in line with interests (profiling);

6) (with the consent of the data subject) communication of data to third parties for marketing purposes and/or customer satisfaction surveys.

 

4. Type of data processed

The following categories of Personal Data may be processed:

- surname, first name, place and date of birth, residence;

- tax code and/or VAT number;

- telephone number and/or email address, certified email (PEC) and/or other contact details;

- address and street number of the place where the contractually agreed services are provided;

- delivery address for invoices and recipient code (SDI code);

- data relating to contractually agreed services, such as for example PODs, consumption and/or charging data including card identification data for charging services

- payment methods (IBAN, identification details of payments, etc.).

 

5. Legal basis of the processing and obligation to provide data

With regard to purpose 1), "drawing up of contracts and the fulfilment of contractual obligations", there is no obligation to provide data in the pre-contractual phase, but failure to provide it will make it impossible to follow up on the request for service provision; once the contract has been concluded, the provision of any other data required, or the updating of data already provided, is mandatory for all legal and contractual obligations, and therefore any refusal to provide them, in whole or in part, may make it impossible for the Company to perform the contract and may in any case constitute a breach of contract on the part of the Customer or a violation of the law.

As regards purpose 2), "fulfilment of regulatory obligations or provisions of the authorities", you will be asked for the data relevant to the fulfilment of these obligations by the Data Controller, if they are not already available because they were collected for purpose 1), and failure to provide them could constitute a breach of the law on your part.

The legitimacy of the data processing for the above-mentioned purposes 1) and 2) therefore derives from the fact that it is necessary for the performance of the contract to which you are a party (or, in the pre-contractual phase, in relation to pre-contractual measures taken in the context of the contracting) or for the fulfilment of legal obligations connected to the contract itself or, in any case, to the provision of the service.

Therefore, the legal basis of the processing for purposes 1) and 2) consists in the fact that the processing is necessary: for the execution of the contract with you or of the pre-contractual measures adopted at your request; for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which the Data Controller is subject or for the execution of a task of public interest or connected to the exercise of public powers with which the data controller is invested.

As regards the other purposes, provision is optional and the processing will take place only with your consent as a data subject; therefore, also in relation to data already communicated for purposes 1) and 2), in any event, in the absence of your consent for the specific further purpose, the processing will not be carried out, with the consequence that in the event of failure to provide any data that may be further necessary for the specific purpose and in the event of failure to expressly consent to the related individual processing, the activities described in purposes 4) to 6) will not be carried out, while the processing referred to in purpose 3) may take place unless you, adequately informed, do not refuse such use, initially or on the occasion of subsequent communications, as provided for in Art. 130(4) Legislative Decree 196/2003 as amended.

 

6. Collection, methods of processing and storage

The data is collected from the data subject, i.e. the data that you provide to us and that results from the use of the contractually agreed services.

The processing will be carried out:

  • through the use of manual and automated systems;
  • by subjects or categories of persons authorised to carry out the related tasks;
  • with the use of adequate measures to guarantee the confidentiality of the data and to prevent access to them by unauthorised third parties.

With reference to the purposes from 3) to 6) of the previous point 3, it should be noted in particular that personal data will also be processed by:

  1. the use of automated call or call communication systems;
  2. electronic communications by email, fax, Mms (Multimedia Messaging Service) or SMS (Short Message Service) or other types of communications;
  3. the use of the telephone with operator and paper mail.

As regards purposes 1) and 2) of the previous point 3., your data will be kept for the entire duration of the contractual relationship, and, after the termination of the relationship - limited to the data necessary at that point - for the extinction of the obligations assumed contractually and for the fulfilment of any legal obligations and for the needs of protection, including contractual ones, connected or deriving from it.

For purpose 4) of the previous point 3., processing will cease in any event - if you do not withdraw your consent first - at the end of the contractual relationship. For purposes 3), 5) and 6) of the previous point 3., processing may last until the consent is withdrawn and in any event no later than two years from the termination of the contractual relationship or from the renewal of the consent.

There are no automated decision-making processes, except for (should you express your consent) profiling - see previous point 3. purpose 5) -, which may also take place by cross referencing the personal data collected in relation to the provision of the service and the relative use of several different features among those made available to the user and through the use of other identifiers (authentication credentials, cards, etc. ), necessary to trace specific actions or behavioural patterns recurring in the use of the features offered (patterns) back to specific, identified or identifiable subjects.

 

7. Data communication

The data collected and processed may be communicated, exclusively for the purposes specified above, to:

  1. all subjects to whom the right to access such data is recognised by virtue of regulatory provisions;
  2. employees, collaborators, suppliers of the Data Controller, in the context of the related duties and/or contractual obligations relating to the execution of the contractual relationship with data subjects; among the suppliers of the Data Controller we note, by way of example, other Group companies that perform activities for intercompany service contracts, banks and credit institutions, insurance companies, legal advisers, lawyers, tax advisers and accountants, debt collection companies, companies that detect financial risks and perform fraud prevention activities, companies that read meters, companies that print and envelop invoices, delivery companies, etc;
  3. public administrations and supervisory and control authorities;
  4. (if data subjects have given consent to purpose 4) of the previous point 3. to companies appointed to carry out personal or telephone interviews, questionnaires, online surveys);
  5. (if data subjects have given consent to purpose 6) of the previous point 3.to the parent companies, subsidiaries and associates of the Alperia Group, - therefore for situations other than Intercompany collaborations falling under b) above - and to third party commercial partner companies.

 

8. Place of data processing and transfer of personal data

The performance of the activity takes place in the European Union. There is no intention to transfer the data outside the European Union or to an international organisation.

In the event that the processing of Personal Data in countries outside the European Union is necessary, the transfer will be regulated in accordance with the provisions of Chapter V of the GDPR and, therefore, provided that an adequate level of protection is guaranteed, recognised by a specific adequacy decision expressed by the European Commission; and, in the absence of this decision of adequacy, only if adequate guarantees of a contractual or contractual nature are provided by the Data Controller and the Processors involved, including binding company rules and standard contractual data protection clauses.

 

9. Rights of the Data Subject

The GDPR grants the Data Subject the exercise of the following rights with respect to the personal data concerning them (the summary description is indicative, so please refer to the GDPR, and in particular articles 15-22):

a) access to personal data (you will therefore have the right to obtain free information regarding the personal data held by the Data Controller and the related processing, as well as to obtain a copy in an accessible format);

b) rectification of data (the Data Controller will, upon your notification, correct or integrate your data - non-expression of evaluation elements - incorrect or inaccurate, even if they have become such because they were not updated);

c) withdrawal of consent (if the processing takes place on the basis of the consent expressed by you, you can withdraw the consent at any time, without prejudice to the lawfulness of the processing provided before the withdrawal);

d) erasure of data (right to be forgotten) (for example: the data are no longer necessary with respect to the purposes for which they were collected or processed; have been processed unlawfully; must be deleted to comply with a legal obligation; You have withdrawn your consent and there is no other legal basis for the processing; You object, if the conditions exist, to the processing, pursuant to the following letter f);

f) objection, in whole or in part, to the processing of your data for legitimate reasons (in certain circumstances, you may still object to the processing of your data, in particular, where your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing, including profiling, insofar as it relates to such direct marketing. If personal data are processed for scientific, historical research or statistical purposes, you have the right to object on grounds relating to your particular situation, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task of public interest);

g) data portability (where the processing is based on consent or on a contract and is carried out by automated means, you will, at your request, receive the personal data concerning you in a structured format, in a language generally accepted in the industry and in a form readable by an automated device, and will be able to have them communicated to another controller without hindrance from the Data Controller to whom they were originally communicated and, where technically possible, to have such communication carried out directly by the Controller);
