Pursuant to Article 13 of EU Regulation 2016/679

This notice is addressed to all parties who visit and interact with this website of GMA s.r.l., Via Fara, 39 – 20124 Milan (Tax Code/VAT No.: 03017070982), e-mail: info@gma.it, in its capacity as Data Controller, so that, as data subjects, they are aware of the processing activities carried out on the data acquired through browsing.

Please note from the outset that this notice is provided only for the website you are currently visiting, and not for any other websites that may be accessed via links contained herein.

Types of data processed:

1. Browsing data

The computer systems and software procedures used to operate this website acquire, in the course of their normal operation, certain personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of internet communication protocols; this information is not collected in order to be associated with identified data subjects, 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 connecting to the website, 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 outcome, error, etc.) and other parameters relating to the user’s operating system and computer environment.

This data is used solely to derive anonymous statistical information on the use of the website and to monitor its correct functioning, and is deleted immediately after processing.

The data may be used to establish liability in the event of hypothetical computer crimes committed to the detriment of the website.

2. Cookies

Cookies are small text files that the website you visit sends to your device, where they are stored, before being sent back to the same website on your next visit.

Third-party cookies, on the other hand, are set by a website other than the one you, as a user, are visiting.

For your protection, please note that a cookie cannot retrieve any other data from the user’s hard drive, nor can it transmit viruses or acquire e-mail addresses.

Cookies fall into two categories: so-called “technical” cookies and “profiling” cookies.

The former are used to perform rapid computer authentication, maintaining the identification of the user within the session, as well as to allow secure browsing. For these purposes, this type of cookie is not stored persistently on the user’s PC, but rather disappears when the browser is closed. On the basis of the Guidelines of the Italian Data Protection Authority of 10 June 2021, such cookies may be used without the consent of the data subject.

For further information on the cookies applied, we recommend that you review the dedicated cookie notice.

3. Data voluntarily provided by the data subject

Should you decide, when connecting to this website and where applicable, to send your personal data (for example: first name, surname, e-mail address) in order to access certain services (for example “Work with us”), or to make requests by e-mail, the Data Controller will process such data in order to respond to your request, or to provide you with the requested service, in accordance with this notice and the specific privacy notices provided when subscribing to the individual services. The data will be retained for the time necessary to provide the requested service and to manage any disputes.

Your personal data will be disclosed to third parties only where disclosure is necessary to comply with the requests of the users themselves, as specified in the specific notices for the individual services, or to simplify – at your request – registration procedures on third-party websites/applications.
