1. Privacy policy
EffeConsulting, a company incorporated under the laws of Italy with registered office in Via Via Portuense 119, 00153, Rome, Italy (hereafter EffeConsulting), in compliance with its obligations under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 (General Data Protection Regulation, hereafter RGPD) and Italian data protection legislation, respects and protects the privacy of the users of the site under the domain effeconsulting.com, making every possible and proportionate effort not to infringe their rights.
The purpose of this privacy policy is to help users understand the procedures EffeConsulting uses in relation to privacy, including what personal data is collected, why it is collected, how it is used, how it is protected and what individual rights users have.
This privacy policy does not apply to and does not exclude our responsibility for the privacy, information or other practices of third parties, including third parties who operate websites or services to which the effeconsulting.com website links.
This privacy policy applies to all personal data that Effeconsulting acquires or processes when users interact with the effeconsulting.com website, for example by purchasing and using our services, responding to marketing communications and contacting Effeconsulting customer service. These interactions may involve visitors, clients, suppliers and/or partners.
EffeConsulting also processes personal data in areas other than the effeconsulting.com website, which will require a different privacy policy.
2. General information on data processing
In this privacy policy, the term ‘personal data’ refers to information that relates to users and enables us to identify them, either directly or in combination with other information in our possession.
Site users in general
EffeConsulting processes user data on the basis of consent. By using or consulting its site, users explicitly approve this privacy policy and consent to the processing of their personal data in relation to the purposes and methods described below, including possible disclosure to third parties if this is necessary for the provision of a service. The provision of data and therefore consent to the collection and processing of data is optional. The user may deny consent, and may revoke consent already given at any time. However, denying consent may result in the inability to provide certain services and the site navigation experience would be compromised.
Clients
EffeConsulting will do everything possible, compatible with the electronic form of the services, to maintain absolute confidentiality in the performance of the services. All texts, the nature of the work carried out, personal data relating to the client communicated for the purposes of translation and any information transmitted by the client to EffeConsulting will be subject to the strictest confidentiality and the personal data collected will be treated in accordance with Article 6 of the RGPD.
In particular, EffeConsulting shall use the information provided for the purposes of the execution of the contract (and for the possible implementation of pre-contractual measures) and shall not, without the prior written consent of the client, disclose such information publicly or to third parties, with the exception of its authorized collaborators or subcontractors, where their operational or consultative work requires them to know such information. The above guarantees shall not apply where EffeConsulting is legally obliged to disclose such information, or where such information is or becomes public knowledge independently of the disclosure thereof by EffeConsulting, or where the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person make the processing of personal data necessary, or where the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of EffeConsulting or of a third party, which is of a nature superior to the rights of the data subject.
Suppliers and collaborators
The personal data of our suppliers and freelance collaborators (suppliers, translators, interpreters, graphic designers, affiliates, consultants, etc.) will be treated confidentially. The only information that will be disclosed to third parties is the information published on our website, such as username, mother tongue, experience and studies. Other information, such as name, surname, date of birth, addresses and telephones, will only be processed by EffeConsulting and its authorized suppliers (e.g. accounting firms, banks, etc.), exclusively for the purposes of the correct execution of the working relationship with them and the fulfilment of any legal obligations.
3. Automatically collected information. Browsing data
Like all websites, this site also makes use of log files in which information collected automatically during user visits is stored. The information collected may be as follows:
- iinternet protocol (IP) address;
- browser type and parameters of the device used to connect to the site;
- name of your internet service provider (ISP);
- date and time of visit/request;
- the number of clicks, if any
- the method used to submit the request to the server;
- the size of the file obtained in response;
- the digital code indicating the status of the response given by the server;
- and other parameters relating to the user's operating system and computer environment.
The above information is processed automatically and collected in an exclusively aggregate form for the purpose of verifying the correct operation of the site, and for security reasons. For security purposes (anti-spam filters, firewalls, virus detection), the automatically recorded data may possibly also include personal data such as the IP address (the one that uniquely identifies, at least at that given moment, the host from which it originates), which could be used, in accordance with the laws in force on the subject, in order to block attempts to damage the site itself or to cause damage to other users, or in any case harmful or criminal activities. This data is used for the protection of the site and its users.
This data is used for the sole purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information on the use of the website and to check its correct functioning, and is therefore deleted immediately after processing. Data used for security purposes (blocking attempts to damage the site) are stored for seven days.
