Privacy policy

INFORMATION NOTICE
pursuant to Articles 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679

Following the entry into force of the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on personal data protection (“GDPR”), with this document (“Notice”), the Data Controller, as defined below, informs you about the purposes and methods of the processing of your personal data and about your rights as data subject.

This Notice is addressed to employees, administrators and contacts of the clients as legal entities whose data the Data Controller has to process in order to enter into the contract or follow it through.

1. Who the data controller is
The data controller is Carlo Gavazzi Automation Spa, with registered office in Milano, in the person of its pro tempore legal representative.

You may contact the Data Controller to exercise your rights as listed in paragraph 8 below, as well as to ask for any further information, at the following email address: privacy@gavazziacbu.it.

2. Which personal data we process
For the purposes set forth in this Notice, the Data Controller processes the following personal data:

- Common anagraphic data: name, surname, address, phone number, e-mail address and other contact details;
- data relating to concluding the contract.

Your personal data processed by the Data Controller is that provided directly by you or supplied by a third party (e.g. the company for which you work, client of the Data Controller). This Notice also covers the processing of your personal data supplied by third parties.

3. Purposes of processing and legal basis

3.1 Execution of a contract and compliance with legal obligations
The processing to which your personal data will be subjected is aimed at carrying out the activities connected to the execution of a contract for the supply of products and services, the subsequent management of administrative, accounting and fiscal obligations and the fulfilment of obligations provided for by laws, regulations and EU legislation, as well as by any instructions given by legalised authorities and by supervisory and inspection bodies.

For the processing of your persona data, aimed at executing a contract and complying with the related legal obligations, the legal basis of the processing is the legitimate interest of the Data Controller to process the personal data of the employees, administrators and contacts of the client as legal entities for the purpose of fulfilling a contract signed with the client, pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter f), of the GDPR.

Consequently, your personal data will be processed only in so far as is strictly necessary for the management of the current relationship between the Data Controller and the company for which you work, client of the Data Controller, and for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject, pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter c) of the GDPR.

3.2 Marketing communications
The Data Controller may process your contact details for the purpose of sending you direct marketing communications, such as catalogues, promotions, invitations to events and other information related to the products of the Carlo Gavazzi Group.

The sending of direct marketing communications does not require your consent, because the legal basis of the processing is the legitimate interest of the Data Controller.

We inform you that, at any time, you have the right to object to direct marketing activities, by contacting the Data Controller at one of the contact details indicated in paragraph 1 of this Notice.

4. Nature of the provision of personal data and consequences of a refusal to supply it
The provision of your personal data is a mandatory requirement to enter into the contract and execute it.

Your refusal to provide the requested personal data will result in the impossibility for the Data Controller to follow through your pre-contractual and contractual requests and to execute the contract.

However, the provision of your personal data for the sending of direct marketing communications is not mandatory. The refusal to provide such personal data or the decision to object to its processing for direct marketing purposes will not prevent the Data Controller from executing the contract signed with the company for which you work, but will prevent the Data Controller from sending communications related to the products and services of the Carlo Gavazzi Group.

5. Period of retention of your personal data
The Data Controller will process your personal data for as long as is necessary for the management of the contract and the related legal obligations.

For marketing purposes, your contact details will be retained by the Data Controller for the whole of the period of the contract and for an additional period of 24 months as from the termination of the contract. At the end of this period such data will automatically be deleted or permanently made anonymous.

For all other purposes your personal data will be retained for a maximum period of 10 years, plus one, as from the termination of the contract, in accordance with the applicable law.

6. Methods by which your personal data will be processed
Your personal data will be processed, pursuant to the provisions of the GDPR, by means of paper, computerized and telematic tools, strictly according to the purposes indicated above and in an appropriate way to guarantee its security and confidentiality in accordance with Article 32 of the GDPR.

7. Who your personal data may be communicated to and who may get to know it
For the purposes described in paragraph 3 above, your personal data will be processed by employees who are authorized to process this data, by authorized professionals and by the Data Controller’s personnel.

Your personal data will also be processed by the following third parties:
a) Persons who, for various reasons, the Data Controller has recourse to for the execution of the contract;
b) service providers for the management of the IT system and data storage;
c) legal and/or fiscal and/or labour law consulting service providers;
d) supervisory and inspection bodies and authorities.

The above subjects shall act, in some cases, as autonomous data controllers, in other cases as data processors specifically appointed by the Data Controller pursuant to Article 28 of the GDPR.

You can request a complete and updated list of those to whom your personal data may be communicated by writing to the email address: privacy@gavazziacbu.it.

Personal data processed by the Data Controller will also be transferred outside the European Union. In any case, the Controller assures you that your personal data will be transferred to third countries that guarantee an adequate level of protection, in compliance with the specific conditions required by Articles 45, 46 and 49 of the GDPR.

Your personal data will not be disclosed to the public.

  • Right of opposition – Article 21 of the GDPR: the data subject shall have the right to object, at any time, to the processing of their personal data, based on the legitimacy of legitimate interest, including profiling, unless there are legitimate reasons for the Data Controller to continue processing which prevail over your interests, rights and freedom, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of a right in court;

Complaints – the data subject has the right to file a complaint to the relevant data protection authority and the right to a judicial remedy, pursuant to Articles 79 of the GDPR.

The exercise of your rights as data subject is free according to Article 12 of the GDPR.

Finally, we inform you that the Data Controller may request further information in order to confirm your identity.
