1. Data controller

Datatrics, as identified at the top of this Privacy Policy, is the data controller regarding all Personal Data processing carried out through the Website.

You can contact Datatrics’ Data Protection Officer (“DPO”) at the following email address: dpo@datatrics.com.

 

 

2. Personal Data processed

When you use the Website, you may provide to us or we may collect some of your Personal Data, such as your name, surname, contact details, an online ID (“Personal Data”).

Your “Personal Data” can be collected by Datatrics both when you choose to provide them (e.g., when you subscribe to the newsletter or when you request for the Services) or simply by analyzing your behavior on the Website.

Personal Data that can be processed through the Website are the following:

 

2.1 Name, contact details, and other Personal Data

In various sections of the Website – including, particularly, when you request the Services or when you ask for information relating to Datatrics’ Services – you will be asked to submit information about yourself, such as your email address. Additionally, whenever you communicate with Datatrics through the contact details provided on the Website, Datatrics may collect additional information which you choose to provide.

 

2.2 Special categories of Personal Data

Certain areas of the Website (e.g. the Contact form or the Assistance chat form) may include open text fields, where you can provide Datatrics information that may contain Personal Data.

As these fields are completely open, you may use them to disclose (inadvertently or not) more sensitive categories of Personal Data, such as data revealing your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership. The content you insert or upload in these fields may also (inadvertently or not) include other types of sensitive information relating to you, such as your genetic data, biometric data, or data concerning your health, sex life, or sexual orientation.

Datatrics asks that you do not disclose these kinds of Personal Data unless you consider this to be strictly necessary. Please know that these sensitive categories of Personal Data can only be processed with your explicit consent, in compliance with the current legislation. Datatrics underlines the importance to express your explicit consent to process this sort of Personal Data, where you decide to share them.

 

2.3 Data voluntarily provided by the data subject

As mentioned in the previous section, certain areas of the Website allow you to post various types of content, available to Datatrics, which may include Personal Data related to other persons.

In any situation where you decide to share Personal Data related to other persons, you will be considered as an independent data controller regarding that Personal Data and must assume all inherent legal obligations and responsibilities. This means, among other things, that you must fully indemnify Datatrics against any complaints, claims, or demands for compensation for damages that may arise from the processing of this Personal Data, brought by the third parties whose information you provide through the Website.

In any case, if you provide or otherwise process Personal Data of third parties when using the Website, you guarantee from now on – assuming all related liability – that your particular processing hypothesis is based on the consent of the third party concerned or on another appropriate legal basis legitimizing the processing of the Personal Data of third parties.

 

2.4 Data that are automatically collected when sending emails or communications.

When we send e-mails or other forms of communications we use, with the explicit and freely provided consent of the user, tracking systems, such as a pixel or web beacons, in order to detect the opening of a message, the clicks made on hyperlinks, the IP address or the type of browser used to read the message and other similar details.

 

2.5 Browsing data

The Website’s operation, as is standard with any Website on the Internet, involves the use of computer systems and software procedures, which collect information about the Website’s users as part of their routine operation. While Datatrics does not collect this information in order to link it to specific users, it is still possible to identify those users either directly via that information, or by using other information collected – as such, this information must also be considered Personal Data.

This information includes several parameters related to your operating system and IT environment, including your IP address, location (country), the domain names of your computer, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of resources you request on the Website, the time of requests made, the method used to submit requests to the server, the dimensions of the file obtained in response to a request, the numerical code indicating the status of the response sent by the server (successful, error, etc.), and other parameters related to the operating system and user’s IT environment.

These data are used to compile statistical information on the use of the Website, as well as to ensure its correct operation and identify any faults and/or abuse of the Website. Save for this last purpose, these data are not kept for more than 30 days.

 

2.6 Cookies

Definitions, characteristics, and application of the legislation.

Cookies are small text files that may be sent to and registered on your computer by the Website you visit, to then be re-sent to those same sites when you visit them again. It is thanks to these cookies that those websites can “remember” your actions and preferences (e.g., login data, language, font size, other display settings, etc.), so that you do not need to configure them again when you next visit the website, or when you change pages within a website.

Cookies are used for electronic authentication, monitoring of sessions, and storage of information regarding your activities when accessing a website. They may also contain a unique ID code that allows tracking of your browsing activities within a website, for statistical or advertising purposes.

When browsing a website, you may also receive cookies from Websites or web servers other than the website being visited (i.e., “third-party cookies”).

 

Some operations within a website may not be able to be performed without the use of cookies which, in certain cases, are technically necessary for the operation of the website.

There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, which may be stored on your computer for different periods of time: “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser, and “persistent cookies”, which will remain on your device until their pre-set expiration period passes.

 

According to the law which may be applicable to you, your consent may not always be necessary for cookies to be used on a website. In particular, “technical cookies” – i.e. cookies which are only used to send messages through an electronic communications network, or which are needed to provide services you request – typically do not require this consent. These cookies are, in other words, essential for the operation of the site or necessary to perform activities requested by the user.

On the other hand, “profiling cookies” – i.e., cookies used to create profiles on users and to send advertising messages in line with the preferences revealed by users while browsing a website – typically require specific consent from users, although this may vary according to the applicable law.

 

Types of cookies used by the Website and possibility of (de-)selection

The Website uses the following types of cookies that can be de-selected, except for third-party cookies for which you must refer directly to the relative selection and de-selection of the respective cookies, indicated via links:

  • Browsing or session cookies, which are strictly necessary for the Website’s operation, and/or to allow you to use the Website’s content and Services.
  • Analytics cookies, allow Datatrics to understand how users make use of the Website, and to track traffic to and from the Website. These cookies do not collect information about your identity or any Personal Data. Information is processed in an aggregated and anonymous form.
  • Function cookies are used to activate specific Website functions and to configure the Website according to your choices (e.g., language), in order to improve your experience.
  • Profiling cookies are used to observe the preferences you reveal through your use of the Website and to send you advertising messages in line with those preferences.

 

Datatrics also uses third-party cookies – i.e. cookies from Website/web servers other than the Website, owned by third parties, including Profiling cookies. These third parties, listed below with related links to privacy policies, will either act as independent data controllers from Datatrics regarding their own cookies (using the data they collect for their own purposes and under terms defined by them) or as data processors for Datatrics (processing personal data on Datatrics’ behalf).

3. Purposes of processing

Datatrics intends to use your Personal Data, collected through the Website, for the following purposes:

  • Providing Services such as: allowing you to create and maintain a registered user profile, verifying your identity and assist you, in case you lose or forget your login / password details for any of the registration services, replying to your requests for information sent through the Contacts Section and to provide any other Services which you may request (“Service Provision”);
  • For future marketing, promotional and publicity purposes, including to carry out direct marketing, market research and surveys, via email, SMS, through push notifications / pop-up banners, instant messaging, through Datatrics’ official social media pages, as well as for marketing activities in the broad sense, including prize events, games and competitions, products and/or services related to the company and/or to third-party products and/or services (“Marketing”);
  • For email marketing communication regarding products and services identical or similar to those you have previously purchased (“Soft Spam”);
  • To create a profile of you as a Website user, through the use of profiling cookies, where you gave the consent, and by collecting and analysing information on the preferences you select and choices you make in the Website, as well as your general activities on the Website. This profile will be used to give you information about other Websites/services which Datatrics believes you may be interested in, and to show you information and advertisements which may be relevant to you and your interests. All algorithms involved in this processing are regularly tested, to ensure that you are not offered products in which you are not interested (“Profiling”);
  • For compliance with laws that impose upon Datatrics the collection and/or further processing of certain kinds of Personal Data (“Compliance”);
  • To prevent and detect any misuse of the Website, or any fraudulent activities carried out through the Website (“Misuse/Fraud”).

 

4. Legal bases for the processing and mandatory/discretionary nature of processing

Datatrics’ legal bases to process your Personal Data, according to the purposes identified in Section 3, are as follows:

  • Service Provision: processing for these purposes is necessary to provide the Services and, therefore, is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or for the execution of pre-contractual measures. It is not mandatory for you to give Datatrics your Personal Data for these purposes; however, if you do not, Datatrics will not be able to provide any Services to you. The same applies to the newsletter service following your specific request by inserting your e-mail address and that you can withdraw at any time by following the instructions provided in Paragraph 8 of this Policy.
  • Marketing: processing for these purposes is based on your consent. It is not mandatory for you to give consent to Datatrics for use of your Personal Data for these purposes, and you will suffer no consequence if you choose not to give it (aside from not being able to receive further marketing communications from Datatrics). Any consent given may also be withdrawn at a later stage (please see Section 8 for more information).
  • Soft Spam: processing for these purposes is based on Datatrics’ interest in sending you direct e-mail marketing communication regarding products and services provided by Datatrics and which are identical or similar to those you have previously purchased through the Website. You can block these communications, and you will suffer no consequence if you do so (aside from not being able to receive further communications from Datatrics), by objecting through the link provided at the bottom of all such communications.
  • Profiling: processing for this purpose is based on your consent, collected by means of the cookie pop-up banner. It is not mandatory for you to give consent to Datatrics for use of your Personal Data for this purpose, and you will suffer no consequence if you choose not to give it. Any consent given may also be withdrawn at a later stage (please see Section 8 for more information). To withdraw your consent in relation to cookies, please see the Cookie section.
  • Compliance: processing for this purpose is necessary for Datatrics to comply with its legal obligations. When you provide any Personal Data to Datatrics, Datatrics must process it in accordance with the laws applicable to it, which may include retaining and reporting your Personal Data to official authorities for compliance with tax, customs, or other legal obligations.
  • Misuse/Fraud: Information collected for this purpose is used exclusively to prevent and detect fraudulent activities or misuse of the Website (for potentially criminal purposes) and therefore it allows Datatrics to defend itself in Court.

 

5. Recipients of Personal Data

Your Personal Data may be shared with the following list of persons / entities (“Recipients”):

  • Entities typically acting as Data Processor, such as: i) Persons, companies, or professional firms providing Datatrics with advice and consultancy regarding accounting, administrative, legal, tax, financial and debt collection matters related to the provision of the Services and which act typically as data processors on behalf of Datatrics; ii) Persons authorized to perform technical maintenance (including maintenance of network equipment and electronic communications networks);
  • Entities engaged in order to provide the Services (e.g., hosting providers or e-mail platform providers);
  • Persons authorized by Datatrics to process Personal Data needed to carry out activities strictly related to the provision of the Services, who have undertaken an obligation of confidentiality or are subject to an appropriate legal obligation of confidentiality (e.g., employees of Datatrics);
  • Other companies within the our Company Group for internal administrative purposes;
  • Public entities, bodies or authorities to whom your Personal Data may be disclosed, in accordance with the applicable law or binding orders of those entities, bodies or authorities.

 

6. Transfers of Personal Data

Some of your Personal Data may be transferred to Recipients, both internal and external to our Company Group, located in several different countries.

Datatrics ensures that the processing of your Personal Data by these Recipients takes place in compliance with applicable law and implements appropriate safeguards to ensure the lawfulness and security of these Personal Data transfers, such as by relying on adequacy decisions from the European Commission, standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission, or other safeguards or conditions considered adequate.

You can get more information on these matters by writing to: privacy@datatrics.com.

 

7. Retention of Personal Data

Personal Data processed for Service Provision will be kept by Datatrics for the period deemed strictly necessary to fulfill such purposes (e.g. to respond to requests for information received through the Contacts section) – in any case, as these Personal Data are processed for the provision of the Services, Datatrics may continue to store this Personal Data for a longer period, as may be necessary to protect Datatrics’ interests related to potential liability related to the provision of the Services.

Personal Data processed for Marketing and Profiling will be kept by Datatrics from the moment you give consent until it is withdrawn. Where it is not withdrawn, consent will be renewed at fixed intervals. Once consent is withdrawn (or not given, following a renewal), Personal Data will no longer be used for these purposes, although it may still be kept by Datatrics, in particular as may be necessary to protect Datatrics’ interests related to potential liability related to this processing.

Personal Data processed for Soft Spam will be kept by Datatrics until you object to this processing via the link you can find at the bottom of each mail.

Personal Data processed for Compliance will be kept by Datatrics for the period required by the specific legal obligation or by the applicable law.

Personal Data processed for preventing Misuse/Fraud will be kept by Datatrics for as long as deemed strictly necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and therefore until the time when Datatrics will be required to keep them for legal protection to communicate such data to the competent authorities.

 

8. Data subjects’ rights

  • Access your Personal Data being processed by Datatrics (and/or a copy of that Personal Data), as well as information on the processing of your Personal Data;

  • Object to the processing of your Personal Data (for example: Soft Spam); or
  • Withdraw your consent to processing (for Marketing and Profiling).

You can also withdraw consent for Marketing (for communications received via email) or object to Soft Spam by selecting the appropriate link included at the bottom of every marketing e-mail message received. The same applies to the Datatrics newsletter which you may have subscribed to and receive as a Service.

The consent to profiling through cookies can be withdrawn through the procedure indicated in the previous Paragraph 2.e.

Aside from the above means, you can always exercise your rights described above by sending a written request to Datatrics at the following address: privacy@datatrics.com.

In any case, please note that, as a data subject, you are entitled to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authorities for the protection of Personal Data, if you believe that the processing of your Personal Data carried out through the Website is unlawful.

9. Amendments

This Privacy Policy entered into force on the 25th of January, 2022. Datatrics reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy partly or fully, or simply to update its content, e.g., as a result of changes in applicable law. Datatrics will inform you of such changes as soon as they are introduced, and they will be binding as soon as they are published on the Website.
