3. Purpose and legal basis of the processing carried out by the Data Controller

The Data Controller may process the data subject’s personal data for the purpose of processing such data in the manner detailed below:

1.   Purposes that are strictly connected with and which serve the purpose of establishing and managing a contract to which the data subject is a party pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter b) of the GDPR. The provision of personal data does not require consent, but is required for perfecting, performing or continuing the ongoing contractual relationship with the Data Controller.
2.   Managing relationships with the data subject arising from requests to use the additional contents (whitepapers, gated content) provided on the Data Controller’s site. The provision of personal data is not mandatory, but the refusal to provide it may make it impossible for the data subject to obtain the requested services and/or products and/or contents, receive the features, information and material requested from the Data Controller. The provision of personal data does not require the data subject to provide his or her consent since the processing thereof is essential for performing a gratuitous contract to which the data subject is a party, as envisaged by Article 6, paragraph 1, letter b) of the GDPR.
3.   Profiling activities carried out through profiling cookies in those situations in which they are accepted by the user though a specific cookie banner.

Such data will be viewed and processed by the other Group Companies only when the consent referred to in point 9) below has been given.

With a view to meeting these requests, the Data Controller may avail itself of other partners and Group companies whose product is being dealt with in a request for information that has been made by the data subject.

The provision of personal data is not mandatory and the processing thereof does not require the data subject’s consent on account of the Data Controller having a legitimate interest in carrying out the business analysis activities envisaged in Article 6, paragraph 1, letter f) of the GDPR.
7.   Marketing for the purpose of promoting and selling products and services similar to those already purchased by the data subject (so-called soft spam), through commercial correspondence exchanged by means of e-mails.

4. Place and methods for processing personal data

With regard to the aforementioned purposes, the personal data shall be processed with the use of manual, IT and electronic data transmission tools for reasons that are strictly related to such purposes and, in any case, in such a way as to guarantee the security and confidentiality of the said data.

Kipcast shall only process the subject’s personal data with the technical staff in charge of such processing, as well as with predominantly automated and computerized methods that are capable of guaranteeing, with regard to the purposes for which such data is processed, security and confidentiality, as well as avoiding unauthorized access to the aforementioned data. Kipcast does not carry out automated decision-making procedures.

The collected data is processed at the offices of Kipcast, as well as those of the service providers identified by it, who are appointed, where necessary, data controllers pursuant to Article 28 of the GDPR.

In particular, the data shall be processed and stored until the data subject withdraws his or her consent. In any event, the data subject can always request that the processing of his or her data be interrupted or his or her data be deleted in the manner envisaged below.

The Data Controller may withhold some data even after the termination of the contractual relationship. This will depend on the time required for managing specific contractual or legal obligations, as well as complying with administrative, tax and/or social security obligations (that is to say a period of time imposed by the applicable laws and regulations that are in force at such time), as well as on the time required for asserting any rights in court.

In any case, the data shall be processed not only in compliance with current legislation, but also in accordance with the levels of confidentiality that the Data Controller has always maintained.

Retention times shall depend on the type of data that is being processed, but Kipcast generally refers to the following criteria for the purpose of establishing the retention period:

• whether there is a legal or contractual need to withhold the data or not.
• whether the data is required for providing our services.

6. Categories of persons to whom the data can be disclosed

The Data Controller may disclose the data subject’s personal data to third parties in fulfillment of legal obligations, and it may disclose such data to service providers operating as independent Data Controllers or designated Data Processors pursuant to Article 28 of the GDPR in those situations in which they must process data on behalf of the Data Controller and come, as a matter of fact, within one of the following categories that are listed by way of example and without any pretense of completeness:

• persons who provide banking services, including persons who run payment systems;
• individuals, companies, associations or professional firms that provide consulting services or assistance and advice to the data controllers, with particular but not exclusive reference to accounting, administrative, legal, tax, financial and business matters;

8. The data subject’s rights

Pursuant to Articles 15-22 of the GDPR, data subjects are granted specific rights. In particular, the data subject may obtain, from the Data Controller: access to his or her data, the rectification, erasure, limitation of the processing thereof, the withdrawal of consent as well as portability of such data. The data subject is also entitled to object to the processing of his or her data for legitimate reasons and/or to the processing thereof for marketing purposes.

The Data Controller shall reply to the data subject as soon as possible after verifying, where necessary, the identity thereof.

The Data Controller reserves the right not to follow up, in the event that the right to object is exercised, on such request and, therefore, to continue processing the data subject’s personal data in those situations in which there are mandatory and legitimate reasons for proceeding with the processing thereof that prevail over the data subject’s interests, rights and freedoms.

As far as processing the data subject’s personal data marketing purposes are concerned, the data subject who has given his or her consent shall continue to be entitled:

• to make a request, free of charge and at any time whatsoever, that he or she be contacted solely through traditional contact methods such as operator calls;
• to object, free of charge and at any time whatsoever, to his or her data being processed for the aforementioned purposes; in this case, the right to object to the processing of data through automated contact methods (such as emails and telephone calls without an operator) extends to traditional contact methods (such as telephone calls through an operator);
• to object, free of charge and at any time whatsoever, to his or her data being processed for the aforementioned purposes only in part (i.e. by making a decision on the contact methods).

The aforementioned rights may be exercised by sending notice in writing to the Data Controller to the following e-mail address: gdpr@impresoft.com;

The data subject is hereby informed that, pursuant to Article 12 of the GDPR, the Data Controller may, in those situations in which the data subject’s requests prove to be manifestly unfounded or excessive (and, in particular, on account of the repetitive nature thereof): a) charge the data subject the expenses reasonably incurred by the former, taking into account the administrative costs incurred in providing the information or serving the notices in question or taking the requested action; or b) refuse to comply with such request.

The data subject is also entitled to lodge a complaint before the Italian Personal Data Protection Authority.
