Q A Types of data processed, purpose and lawfulness of processing

Data provided voluntarily by the User for the Services requested

If the user, to access the services / information offered, voluntarily provides some of his personal data, collected through appropriate formats on the website, this action involves the acquisition of such data by the data controller in order to provide the requested services.

The services provided through the website may include inviting users to register for newsletters, responding to product enquiries, products sales, collecting job applications or other services not listed here.

Some of the data requested through the website must be captured in order for the service to be provided. Other data is purely optional and may be provided by the user to allow a more complete and personalised service or, subject to prior consent in the cases governed by current legislation, to analyse personal interests and information or habits or consumption choices.

In particular:

Registration to the website / participation in a blog: identification data such as name, surname, email address, as well as other optional personal information relating to the user are collected. If you register through the social media profiles (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, etc.) information on these profiles can be retrieved.

E-commerce: data relating to the purchase, delivery and payment of the product / service is collected, as well as additional optional personal information relating to the user.

Newsletter: identification data such as name, surname, e-mail address, as well as other optional personal information concerning the User are collected.

Open applications / CV: data necessary for the evaluation of the application (identification data, curriculum information and professional information) is collected.

Guarantee extension: User identification and product data is collected, as well as additional optional personal information concerning the user.

Web Chat: User identification data is collected, for assistance during the purchase phase, as well as to provide information on products.

Prize competition/ other promotions: user's identification data for the management of these marketing initiatives is collected.

Marketing / commercial communications / analysis of habits and consumption choices: with the prior consent of the user, personal data may be collected for the aforementioned purposes.

Accordingly, the purposes of processing such data, based on the services requested, are as follows:

>

• execution of the service requested by the user;

• execution of the contractual relationship with the user and any related contractual obligations (e.g. e-commerce: orders and payments management, product delivery) and customer service management and information to the user;

• execution of legal matters, administrative and accounting obligations related to the request of the User's services or contractual obligations (e.g. e-commerce);

• communication with the customer regarding the requested service;

• marketing and sending of related commercial communications, analysis of personal interests and information or habits or consumption choices and prior consent of the interested party;

• in some case it may be necessary to process the prevention of fraud and the abuse to the detriment of this website;

• Management of any curriculum vitae (CVs) collected through the website.

The legal basis for the processing of data is:

• fulfilment of contractual obligations, if and as requested, by the user; and

• the consent of the interested party.

Q A Navigation data

In addition to the following regarding cookies, the computer systems and software procedures used to operate this website acquire, during their normal operation, some personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of internet communication protocols. This is information that is not collected to be associated with identified interested parties, but which by their very nature could, through processing and association with data held by third parties, allow users to be identified. This category of data includes IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by the users who connect to the website, the addresses in the uniform resource identifier (URI) notation, the requested resources, 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 (success, error, etc.) and other parameters related to the operating system and the user's IT environment.

This data is used to obtain anonymous statistical information on the use of the website and to check its correct functioning.

The data could be used to identify responsibility in the event of possible IT crimes to the detriment of the website. The website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"). To this regard, see the Google cookie policy for Google Analytics.

The purposes for processing such data are therefore to:

• allow the website to function and perform the services requested by the user;

• monitor and improve the operation of the website;

• derive and use statistical information on the use of the website;

• ascertaining responsibility in the event that a possible cyber security criminal act has been committed.

The lawfulness of the processing of such data is therefore the legitimate interest of the holder for the performance and improvement of the services provided by the website.

Q A Cookies and tracking

A cookie and similar technologies are small bits of information used to store technical and / or personal details on the computer, identify users of a service and enable certain features. The data controller and its partners for technical, statistical and / or profiling reasons use these cookies. It is possible to configure the browser in such a way that the acceptance of cookies is, in principle, denied or the notification is received before a cookie is stored. The lawfulness of the processing is therefore the legitimate interest of the owner in the case of technical cookies and the consent of the person concerned for profiling cookies. For more information on the cookies used by the services and on how to refuse them, visit the technical cookie policy.

Q A Geo-location

The website will be able to track data relating to the user's location in cases where they have been expressly authorised based on the privacy settings of the account, the applications and browsers installed and the devices in use. This location information is used to improve the user experience and the overall quality of the services.

The personal data provided by the user is managed by the internal subjects of the data controller (collaborators and employees), based on their skills and within the scope of their duties and / or any contractual obligations.

Some data may be communicated for the fulfilment of the purposes indicated to: ProTech Global Ltd.

Q A Data provision and consequences of failure to provide
