1. Data controller and Data Protection Officer 

GSD Sistemi e Servizi S.c. a r.l. as identified at the top of this Privacy Policy, is the data controller regarding all personal data processing carried out through the Website. 

To get in touch with GSDSS Data Protection Officer (hereinafter, “DPO”), please contact: rpd.gsdss@grupposandonato.it

2. Personal Data Pocessed 

When you use the Website, GSDSS will collect and process information regarding you (as an individual) – such as a name, an identification number, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person - which allows you to be identified either by itself, or together with other information which has been collected. GSDSS may also be able to collect and process information regarding other persons in this same manner, if you choose to provide it to GSDSS. 

This information may be classified as “Personal Data” and can be collected by GSDSS both when you choose to provide it (e.g., when you subscribe to the newsletter or request other Services provided by GSDSS over the Website) or simply by analysing your behaviour on the Website. 

Personal Data which can be processed by GSDSS through the Website are as follows: 

  • Browsing data 

The Website’s operation, as is standard with any websites on the Internet, involves the use of computer systems and software procedures, which collect information about the Website’s users as part of their routine operation. While GSDSS does not collect this information in order to link it to specific users, it is still possible to identify those users either directly via that information, or by using other information collected – as such, this information must also be considered Personal Data. 

This information includes several parameters related to your operating system and IT environment, including your IP address, location (country), the domain names of your computer, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of resources you request on the Website, the time of requests made, the method used to submit requests to the server, the dimensions of the file obtained in response to a request, the numerical code indicating the status of the response sent by the server (successful, error, etc.), and so on. 

These data are used to compile statistical information on the use of the Website, as well as to ensure its correct operation and identify any faults and/or abuse of the Website. Save for this last purpose, these data are not kept for more than 7 business days. 

3. Special categories of Personal Data 

Certain areas of the Website (e.g. the section “Booking”), may include free text fields, where you can write messages to GSDSS, or otherwise allow you to post various types of content on the Website, which may contain Personal Data. 

Where these fields are completely free, you may use them to disclose (inadvertently or not) more sensitive categories of Personal Data as set forth in Article 9 GDPR, such as data revealing your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership. The content you upload in these fields may also (inadvertently or not) include other types of sensitive information relating to you, such as your genetic data, biometric data or data concerning your health, sex life or sexual orientation. 

GSDSS asks that you do not disclose any sensitive Personal Data on the Website, unless you consider this to be strictly necessary. As it is totally optional to provide this information, if you nonetheless choose to do so, please mind that in any case GSDSS will not be held responsible for the processing of special categories of personal data, since, in this situation, the processing will be performed on personal data made public by you in accordance with Article 9(1)(e) Regulation. In any case GSDSS underline the importance to give your explicit consent to the processing of special categories of personal data, if you decide to share this information. 

4. Other persons’ Personal Data 

As mentioned in the previous section, certain areas of the Website include free text fields where you can write messages to GSDSS, or otherwise allow you to post various types of content on the Website. These messages and content may (inadvertently or not) include Personal Data related to other persons. 

In any situation where you decide to share Personal Data related to other persons, you will be considered as an independent data controller regarding that Personal Data and must assume all inherent legal obligations and responsibilities. This means, among other things, that you must fully indemnify GSDSS against any complaints, claims or demands for compensation for damages which may arise from the processing of this Personal Data, brought by the third parties whose information you provide through the Website. 

As GSDSS does not collect this information directly from these third parties (but rather collects them, indirectly, from you), you must make sure that you have these third parties’ consent before providing any information regarding them to GSDSS; if not, then you must make sure there is some other appropriate grounds on which you can rely to lawfully give GSDSS this information.
