The personal data provided will be processed in compliance with the principles of personal data protection established by EU Regulation no. 679/2016 and other relevant legislation.

The Data Controller is PARALUPI SRLS (hereinafter also referred to as the "Data Controller") and can be contacted through written communication to: Lecce (LE), 73100 – Via Tintoretto, or via email at [email protected].

Nature of the processed data:
The processing involves the use and navigation data, to the extent that the IT systems and software procedures used in the operation of this website acquire information whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols. These are data that are not collected to be associated with identified data subjects but which, through processing and association with data held by third parties, could allow the identification of users (e.g., IP addresses, domain names of computers used by users who connect to the site, URI addresses of the requested resources, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, and other parameters relating to the user's operating system, browser, and IT devices). Among the technologies used to collect and store information, cookies play a particularly relevant and autonomous role, and users/interested parties are referred to their specific information (indicate the link to the cookie policy).

Voluntarily provided data are subject to processing, such as those provided during registration, subscription to our site, and/or contact, and/or voluntarily made public, including personal identification data such as name, surname, address, email, telephone number, fax, content of any messages, as well as data of an economic nature that are strictly necessary for the execution of existing or future contractual relationships.

No so-called special, sensitive, or judicial data are subject to processing, which might fall under those indicated in Art. 4, letters d) and e) of the privacy code and Art. 9 of EU Regulation 2016/679, the processing of which, moreover, is prohibited by Art. 9, paragraph 1 of the cited EU Regulation, except for specific and strict exceptions provided by the same article.

Purpose and legal basis of the processing:
The personal data collected with the registration or subscription to our website are processed in order to allow access to products, services, and content reserved for registered users. The legal basis for processing the data obtained is represented, in accordance with Art. 6 of EU Regulation 2016/679, by the following conditions:

The data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data;
The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for the performance of pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject's request;
The processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which the data controller is subject;
The processing is necessary for the pursuit of the legitimate interest of the data controller or third parties (see also recital no. 47 of the GDPR), provided that the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail, especially if the data subject is a minor. In this latter case, it is specified that the legitimate interests of the Data Controller are the defense of its own rights, the need for fraud prevention, and/or the development of promotional activities on services/products for direct marketing purposes.
In case the user/interested party has given consent at the time of activation of the service or expresses it later and until its revocation, their personal data may be processed by PARALUPI SRLS to:

Allow access to products, services, and content;
Send, if users have given consent at the time of activation of the service or express it later, and until its revocation, commercial communications about our own products and services or those of third-party companies, also through automated means, for direct sales purposes, as well as for market research and verification of user satisfaction;
