The term “Personal Data” shall mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person with particular reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more characteristics of that person's physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.

The Personal Data collected on the Site are as follows:

a) Browsing data

The Site's computer systems collect certain Personal Data, the transmission of which is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols. This is information that is not collected in order to be linked to you, but which by its very nature could, through processing and association with data held by third parties, enable you to be identified.

These include the IP addresses or domain names of the devices you use to connect to the Site, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) 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 your operating system and computer environment.

These data are used to obtain anonymous statistical information on the use of the Site and to check its correct operation; to allow, given the architecture of the systems used, the correct provision of the various functions requested by you, for security reasons and to ascertain responsibility in the event of hypothetical computer crimes against the Site or third parties.

b) Data provided voluntarily

Through the Site, you have the opportunity to voluntarily provide Personal Data such as your name and surname and e-mail address, which are used to contact the Data Controller via the "Contact Us" form or the "Complaints" section. GIV will process this data in compliance with the Applicable Legislation, assuming that it relates to you or to third parties who have expressly granted you permission to provide it based on an appropriate legal basis legitimising the processing of the data in question. In reference to these assumptions, you act as an independent data controller, assuming all obligations and responsibilities under the law. In this regard, you hereby grant the Data Controller the broadest possible indemnity concerning any dispute, claim, request for compensation for damage caused by processing, etc. that may be received by the Data Controller from third parties whose Personal Data have been processed through your use of the Site in breach of the Applicable Legislation.

c) Cookies and related technologies

As described more fully in the Cookie Policy, the Data Controller uses cookies and similar technologies (e.g. web beacons, pixels, ad tags and device identifiers), to recognise you and/or your devices.
