This Privacy Policy, prepared in accordance with Article 13 of the GDPR, is intended to easily and transparently explain to you what data is collected through this website (henceforth, “Site”) and for what purposes. In addition, we intend to explain to you how to effectively exercise your rights.
1. Who processes your personal data?
The Data Controller is SPAIQ S.r.l., with legal headquarters at Via G. Matteotti, 25/2 – 40055 Villanova di Castenaso (BO).
To obtain further clarification in relation to the processing activities, as well as to request assistance in exercising the rights provided for the protection of your personal data, you may contact the Data Controller at the following e-mail address: privacy@applied.it.
Please also note that this information is provided only for the Website Via G. Matteotti, 25/2 – 40055 Villanova di Castenaso (BO) , www.spaiq.it and not for any other websites that may be consulted through links.
In addition, the personal data you provide may be processed by employees and associates of the Data Controller, who have been authorized and trained so that the processing is carried out in full compliance with the principles of lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation and storage, data minimization, accuracy, integrity and confidentiality.
2. What data is processed?
Prior to indicating what data is processed through this Site, we would like to explain that, for the purposes of applicable law, “personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable person is any natural person who can be identified directly or indirectly, with particular reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more characteristic elements of his or her physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.
That said, when you access and browse this Website, the following types of data are processed:
a) Navigation data
The computer systems and software applications used to operate this Site acquire, during their normal operation, some personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols.
This information is not collected to be associated with identified interested parties, 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 the IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by users who connect to the Site, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) notation addresses of the resources requested, 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.) and other parameters relating to the user’s operating system and computer environment.
This data is used in order to obtain anonymous statistical information on the use of the Site and to check its correct functioning. However, such data could also be used to ascertain responsibility in case of hypothetical computer crimes against the Site itself.
b) Cookies
Cookies are small text files that sites visited by the user send and store on the user’s computer or mobile device, only to be transmitted back to the same sites on the user’s next visit.
There are various types of cookies depending on their duration, characteristics and functions.
The Data Protection Authority has distinguished two major categories:
- technical cookies: used for the sole purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the contracting party or user to provide such service” (art. 122, c. 1 Legislative Decree 196/2003). In other words, technical cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the Site and allow you to access its functions. They can be further divided into:
– navigation or session cookies, which ensure normal navigation and use of the Website;
– analytics cookies, like technical cookies where used directly by the operator of the Site to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the Site itself
– functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a set of selected criteria (e.g. language) in order to improve the service rendered to the same.
Precisely by virtue of their characteristics and functions, under the applicable regulations, the user’s prior consent is not required for the use of such technical cookies.
- profiling cookies: aimed at creating profiles related to the user and used in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the same in the context of web browsing.
Unlike the previous ones, for the use of such cookies it is necessary to acquire the user’s prior consent.
That said, we inform you that while browsing the Site you will only receive technical cookies for which your consent is not required.
We also remind you that the installation of technical cookies takes place automatically, once you have accessed the Site or to activate certain functionalities (e.g. language setting). In any case, you can always decide to disable them by changing the settings of your browser: in this case, however, you may experience some problems in navigating and using the Site.
3. For what purposes is your personal data processed and how long is it stored?
The personal data you provide through the Site are processed for the following purposes:
a) to allow you proper navigation of the Site, as well as adequate enjoyment of its content. This processing is based on the legitimate interest of the Data Controller in ensuring the operation of the Site, regularly balanced with the rights of the data subject (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The personal data collected for this purpose are retained for seven days from the time of their processing, except for any need to establish criminal offenses by the Judicial Authority;
We inform you that the provision of your personal data for the purposes mentioned above is optional; however, failure to provide it may compromise the proper navigation of the Site.
We also inform you that the processing of data is carried out mainly by automated tools for the time strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which they were collected. At the end of the processing, personal data are deleted immediately.
4. What rights can you exercise to protect your personal data?
Please note that the Controller, in the performance of its activities, may communicate your personal data to third parties duly authorized and/or appointed as Data Processors pursuant to Article 28 of the GDPR.
More specifically, these subjects may belong to the following categories:
– subjects delegated and/or appointed by the Data Controller to the performance of activities strictly related to the pursuit of the purposes set out in point 3 of this Privacy policy
– public entities in compliance with applicable laws, regulations and legislation.
We also inform you that your personal data are processed within the European area.
5. What rights can you exercise to protect your personal data?
Please note that pursuant to and within the limits of Articles 15-21 of the GDPR you have the right, at any time, to:
– request from the Data Controller access, rectification and deletion of your personal data;

– request from the Data Controller the transformation into anonymous form or the blocking of data processed in violation of the law, including data whose storage is not necessary in relation to the purposes for which the data were collected or subsequently processed;
– request the restriction of the processing of data concerning you or to object to its processing;
– receive in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format personal data concerning you and you have the right to transmit such data to another data controller without hindrance from the data controller to whom you have provided them, if the processing is based on consent or a contract and the processing is carried out by automated means;
– revoke consent to the processing of your personal data, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent given before revocation.
Requests referred to in the above points should be addressed to the Data Controller, who can be reached at the following e-mail address: privacy@applied.it.
We also remind you that you have the right to lodge a complaint before a Supervisory Authority (e.g., the Data Protection Authority) if you believe that the processing of your personal data is contrary to the regulations in force.
6. Changes to the Privacy Policy
