3. Processing of personal data is defined as “any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data or sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction” (Article 4(2) GDPR).


3.1 The personal data that we process are as follows:
* Common and contact data, such as name, surname, address, telephone number, e-mail address and any further data that you may provide from time to time through the forms available in the site.
3.2. Navigation data:
* The computer systems and programs used to operate the site collect certain personal data, the transmission of which is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols (e.g. IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by users who access the site, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of the resources requested, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the size of the file received in response, the numerical code regarding the status of the answer from the server and other parameters relating to the user’s operating system and computer environment). Although this information is not collected in order to be associated with identifying interested parties, by its nature it could, through processing and association with data held by third parties, allow the identification of the interested parties.
This data is only used to obtain anonymous statistical information on the use of the site and to check its correct functioning, and is deleted immediately after processing. In the event of computer crimes against the site, the data may be used to ascertain liability, otherwise it will not be retained for more than seven days.
3.3. Any data provided voluntarily:
* The optional, explicit and voluntary sending of e-mails to the addresses specified in this site entails the subsequent acquisition of the personal data provided. The entry of personal data in order to take advantage of the specific services offered by the site (such as the contact form, subscribing to the newsletter or submitting an application) requires the collection and processing by the data controller of the data voluntarily provided by users/contractors, necessary to reply to requests, as well as any other personal data included in the communication.
3.4. Registration data:
* The site offers the possibility for certain categories of professional users to register and create their own personal account. Regarding the processing of Personal Data carried out as part of the registration service on the Reserved Area, please note that the Data Controller will only carry out the processing that is strictly necessary to provide the service, except for further processing on the basis of a suitable legal basis pursuant to Article 6 of the Regulation (e.g. your consent).

4. Purposes of processing: your personal data will be processed by the data controller for purposes strictly connected with and instrumental to the performance of the contract that you have signed with Porro spa, as well as for the fulfilment of obligations provided for by laws, regulations and/or EU rules, or by supervisory and control bodies or other authorities empowered to do so.
For the processing of your personal data for the purposes referred to in this paragraph, it is not necessary to obtain your consent, as the legal basis for the processing is, according to current legislation, the performance of a contract and the fulfilment of a legal obligation.
Your personal data will be processed for the time necessary to pursue the stated purpose and, thereafter, stored only for the period of time necessary to comply with the statutory requirements.
Your personal data will be processed in order to comply with the requests that you may make from time to time through the Site, such as, by way of example but not limited to, the request for information through the “Contact” form or the registration on the Site.
The legal basis for processing your data, pursuant to current legislation, is the fulfilment of your request. Therefore, the Data Controller does not require your consent to carry out the processing.
In order to process your request, your personal data will be processed for the time strictly necessary and, in any event, will not be kept for a period longer than [6] months. However, if you ask to be registered on the Site, your personal data will be kept until you decide to remain registered. For the fulfilment of legal obligations, your personal data will be processed for the time strictly necessary for this purpose and thereafter will be kept only for the period of time required by the laws in force (including the foreseen prescription of rights).

The Users, upon simple request addressed to the Data Controller as communicated above, may obtain the list of the External Data Processors appointed.
