Initial declaration

It is hereby declared that the owner applies the GDPR and provides for the protection of persons and other subjects with respect to the processing of personal data. According to the legislation indicated, the processing carried out by this site will be based on the principles of lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation and storage, data minimization, accuracy, integrity and confidentiality.

Personal data subject to processing

By “processing of personal data” we mean any operation or set of operations, performed with or without the aid of automated processes and applied to personal data or sets of personal data, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, comparison or interconnection, restriction, erasure or destruction (Art. 4.2 GDPR).

We inform you that the personal data being processed will consist - also depending on your decisions on how to use the services of this site - of an identifier such as your name, email address, telephone number or other identification number, location data, and other data likely to make you identified or identifiable, depending on the type of services requested (hereinafter only “personal data”). Under no circumstances does the owner here collect special categories of data (religion, political affiliation, health status, etc.).The categories of personal data processed through this site are as follows:

Data voluntarily provided by the data subject
When using particular areas of this site, processing of personal data voluntarily left by you may occur in order to be contacted and/or obtain a service in return, such as: request for information, personalized offers, inclusion in newsletters, purchase of product or services.

Navigation data

The computer systems and software procedures 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 is information that is not collected to be associated with identified interested parties, but which 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 this site, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) notation addresses of the resources requested, the time of the request, the method used in submitting 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. These data are used for the sole purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information on the use of this site and to check its correct functioning, to identify anomalies and/or abuses, and are deleted immediately after processing. The data could be used to ascertain responsibility in case of hypothetical computer crimes against the site or third parties.

Special categories of personal data

If you use our website to submit a job application (or to send it to us by e-mail), your personal data that falls into special categories of personal data under Article 9 of the Regulations may be transferred. Please do not publish this data unless absolutely necessary. We would like to expressly inform you that the data controller cannot be held responsible for the transfer of special categories of personal data, but in the absence of explicit consent to the processing of such data (it is, of course, permissible to send a curriculum vitae), nor can the data controller receive any kind of censure, since in this case the processing is permitted as it relates to data voluntarily made public by the data subject, in accordance with Article 9(1)e of the Regulations. However, we would like to emphasize that, as mentioned above, it is important to provide explicit consent to the processing of special categories of personal data if you decide to provide such information.
We also inform you that the controller may analyze social profiles freely available on the Internet for professional purposes (e.g. LinkedIn) for the purpose of candidate selection.

This site uses different types of cookies. Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. You can change or revoke your consent at any time from the Cookie Statement on our website in the cookie settings.

Purpose of processing
The processing we intend to carry out, upon your specific consent (where necessary), has the following purposes:

Improving site navigation: enabling you to navigate, browse and view informational material on this site, as well as improving your experience of navigating this site.
Legal obligations: to fulfill legal, accounting and tax obligations to which the owner is subject, representing this a legitimate processing of personal data (according to Art. 6.1(c) of the GDPR).
Responding to requests for information: responding to requests for information, which we will receive by e-mail, telephone or chat or through the appropriate form, about services and solutions proposed on this site.
Sending newsletters: by expressly subscribing to the Newsletter service, you consent that the e-mail address and other personal data that you have voluntarily provided to us (when filling out the subscription form) be processed for the purpose of periodically sending you the Newsletter and any other personalized service you subscribe to, as well as to improve the effectiveness of advertising campaigns associated with our services. By subscribing to the newsletter, you will be periodically sent e-mails containing: updates on the news of this site (new services, etc.), information useful to your business, commercial news or partner companies of the owner, commercial offers of products and services proposed by the owner. Once subscribed to the newsletter, you can unsubscribe at any time by making an express request through the mechanism proposed in the footer of the email received.
Marketing Purposes : To carry out direct marketing via e-mail (soft spam) for services similar to those you have subscribed to or purchased, in pursuit of the legitimate interest of the owner to promote products or services in which you may reasonably be interested. This is unless you have objected to such processing initially or in subsequent communications. Indeed, we remind you that the processing carried out for e-mail marketing purposes on products or services similar to those purchased by you finds its legal basis in the legitimate interest of the data controller (ref. Recitals (47) and (70) of the GDPR, Art. 6.1(f) of the GDPR) to promote its products or services in a context in which the data subject can reasonably expect such type of processing, to which, moreover, you may object at any time. In fact, should you wish to object to the processing of your data for marketing purposes, you may do so at any time through the mechanism proposed in the footer of the commercial emails or by sending a request to the owner's email address.
Statistical and market research purposes: to elaborate studies, research, market statistics; to send you advertising material, information, commercial information or surveys to improve the service (“customer satisfaction”) by e-mail or by sms, and/or through the use of the telephone with operator and/or through the official pages of this site or on social networks or other official channels of the holder.

Fraudulent conduct:

for the exclusive purposes of security and prevention of fraudulent conducts, the holder puts in place an automatic control system that involves the detection and analysis of user behaviors on the site, associated with the processing of personal data including IP address. The consequences of this processing are that if a person attempts to engage in fraudulent conduct on this site (e.g. to benefit from the same promotion several times without being entitled to it), the holder reserves the right to exclude that person from the promotion or to take any other appropriate measures for its own protection. This processing is also based on the legitimate interest of the owner in detecting fraud and scams carried out to its detriment (ref. Recital (47) of the GDPR, Art. 6.1(f) of the GDPR).

Communication to third parties: only with reference to certain services, your data may be processed for the purpose of communication to third parties for their third-party marketing purposes, i.e. to provide you with information and/or make offers on products, services or initiatives offered or promoted by other companies of the data controller and/or its affiliates and/or subsidiaries, and/or other business partners and outsourcers acting as autonomous data controllers.

The provision of your personal data for the purposes of processing performed for purposes based on the granting of your consent (pursuant to Art. 6.1(a) of the GDPR) is entirely optional and does not affect the use of the other services of this site.

Recipients of personal data
Your personal data may be processed by electronic means with restricted access to persons entrusted and authorized by the data controller, who has put in place all necessary IT security measures to minimize the risk of privacy breaches by third parties, and is at all times prepared to take such security measures as prove indispensable.
Your personal data may be shared, for the “Processing Purposes” listed above, with:

Individuals who typically act as data processors i.e.: persons, companies or professional firms that provide assistance and advice to the owner in managerial, accounting, administrative, legal, tax, financial and debt collection in relation to the provision of services, as well as persons, companies or professional firms that carry out professional assistance and advice necessary for and/or in support of the provision of services offered in this site . The complete list of data processors is kept at the headquarters of the owner and you may request an updated copy at any time by sending a request to the owner's email address.
Individuals who carry out activities necessary for the services offered by the owner, or individuals with whom it is necessary to interact for the provision of services, or delegated to carry out technical maintenance activities (including the maintenance of network equipment and electronic communication networks), or companies in the group or related to the owner (Italian or foreign) that carry out administrative or statistical purposes (collectively “Recipients”)
Persons authorized by the owner to process personal data necessary to carry out activities closely related to the provision of services, who have committed to confidentiality or have an appropriate legal obligation of confidentiality, such as employees of the owner;
Business partners for their autonomous and separate purposes of commercial information and market research, and only if you have given specific consent.
Subjects, entities or authorities to whom it is mandatory to communicate your personal data by virtue of legal provisions or orders of authorities (e.g., requests by judicial authorities in the course of investigations of a criminal nature);

Transfer of data
Some of your personal data are shared with recipients who may be located outside the European Economic Area. The controller ensures that the processing of your personal data by these Recipients is done in compliance with the GDPR. Indeed, transfers may be based on an adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

More information is available from the owner, in particular to know what processing involves the transfer of the data in question outside the European Economic Area. Given that said transfer is necessary for its enjoyment of the service, according to current privacy legislation, it is justified under Art. 44 et seq. of Chapter V of the GDPR.

Data Retention
In general, all personal data collected for the purposes described above will be processed for the time strictly necessary to achieve the same purposes. In any case, the owner will process personal data for as long as permitted by Italian law to protect its interests (Art. 2946 c.c. et seq.). The period of storage of personal data varies according to the purpose of processing for which it was collected:
To improve site navigation: since this is data related to technical cookies, details are described in the cookie policy.

For legal obligations: will be retained for as long as required by the specific legal obligation or rule of law applicable, and thereafter may be retained for a longer period necessary to protect the holder's interests from possible liability based on such supplies.
To respond to requests for information: will be used for as long as strictly necessary to achieve the same purpose, and will be retained thereafter only for management purposes and to protect the holder's interests from possible liability based on such processing.
For sending newsletters or for marketing purposes or for statistical and market research purposes: will be kept by the owner until the consent given by the Data Subject is revoked. Once the consent is revoked, the use of the data for such purposes will cease, but the owner may retain it in order to protect itself from possible liability based on such processing.
In order to use the services of the site or to respond to requests for assistance or for communication to third parties: it will be used for as long as is strictly necessary to achieve the same purpose and, as such personal data is processed to provide the products/services, it will be retained thereafter for a longer period and as long as may be necessary to protect the holder's interests from possible liability based on the supplies.

This is without prejudice, in any case, to the holder's ability to retain your personal data for as long as permitted by Italian law to protect its interests (Art. 2947(1)(3) c.c.) and in particular to protect itself from fraudulent conduct. More information regarding the data retention period and the criteria used to determine this period can be requested by emailing the owner.

Data protection officer
In light of the applicable legislation and in accordance with the “principle of accountability,” the Data Controller has decided to appoint a Data Protection Officer. This person may be contacted by email at info@mts-online.com to obtain information on the processing of personal data by mtsonline Srl.

Rights of the data subject

You have the right to ask the holder, at any time, for access to your personal data (according to Art. 15 of the GDPR), rectification (according to Art. 16 of the GDPR), deletion of the same (according to Art. 17 of the GDPR), restriction of processing (according to Art. 18 of the GDPR) or to object to their processing in the cases provided for in Article 21 of the GDPR, as well as to obtain in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, the data concerning you (“portability” according to Art. 20 of the GDPR). All requests can be addressed by writing an email to the owner, using the address given at the beginning of this document.
In any case, you always have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority (Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali), in accordance with Art. 77 of the GDPR, if you believe that the processing of your personal data is contrary to the legislation in force.
