ilFotoalbum S.r.l. processes various categories of personal data, in particular:

Data generated from the access to the site

Every time you visit our website, we collect some personal data:

  • the use of the website and the device used to access it, domain names, IP addresses, operating system used, type of browser used for the connection

  • the transactions you have completed with us: the type of product purchased and how much you have spent on the purchase itself.

This data is not accompanied by any additional personal information and is used for:
i) to obtain anonymous statistical information on the use of our website;
ii) to manage needs of control of the modalities of use of our website;
iii) ascertain responsibility in the event of hypothetical computer crimes.

The legal basis that legitimizes the processing of such data is the need to make the functionality of the site usable after the access by the user.

Data provided voluntarily by the user

This category includes personal information that you decide to provide us by visiting the site www.ilfotoalbum.com, and/or contacting us at the addresses above, by email or telephone.

  • If you take the opportunity to review our products, we will collect personal information that appears in each of these reviews. These reviews are public and you should therefore be careful before posting personal information online (which is still good practice in general).

Finally, we process and protect any data you provide us with by sending applications to positions that may be open in ilFotoalbum or spontaneous applications and, in general, by sending personal CVs (collected and stored exclusively to consider any application and deleted, at most, 12 months after we have received it).

Navigation data

The computer systems and software procedures used to operate this website acquire, during their normal operation, some personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of internet communication protocols. This information is not collected to be associated with identified parties, but by their very nature could, through processing and association with data held by third parties, allow users to be identified. This category of data includes IP addresses or domain names of computers used by users who connect to the site, URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) of requested resources, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in response, the numerical code indicating the status of the response from the server (successful, error, etc..) and other parameters relating to the operating system and computer environment. These data are used only to obtain anonymous statistical information on the use of the site and to check its proper functioning and are deleted immediately after processing. The data could be used to ascertain responsibility in the event of hypothetical computer crimes against the site.
The optional, explicit and voluntary sending of electronic mail to the addresses indicated on this site entails the subsequent acquisition of the sender’s address, necessary to respond to requests, as well as any other personal data included in the message. Specific summary information will be progressively reported or displayed on the pages of the site set up for particular services on request.

Purpose of data processing

The legal basis for processing is the performance of a contract to which the data subject is related or the performance of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject. In the cases expressly mentioned, the legal basis is the consent freely given by the data subject.
The processing of the data provided, personally (by filling in and sending the forms presented during the provision of our services, and in the other ways outlined above), will be for institutional purposes, related to our business and in compliance with legal obligations.

How do we use the data collected?

In particular, due to the activity carried out by ilFotoalbum, the aforementioned personal data will be processed lawfully and correctly for the following purposes:

a) for the creation of the account on our e-commerce platform for the exclusive supply of the printing and delivery service;

c) to carry out the activities of relationship with the customer according to contractual agreements;

d) for administrative purposes and for the fulfillment of legal obligations such as those of accounting, tax or to comply with requests from the judicial authorities;

Nature of the provision

The processing of functional data for the performance of these obligations is necessary for proper management of the relationship and their provision is required to implement the purposes mentioned above. The data controller also informs that any non-communication, or miscommunication, of any of the mandatory information, may cause the impossibility of the controller to ensure the adequacy of the processing itself, the impossibility of establishing or continuing the relationship and, if they technically prevent the provision of the specific service requested.

Attention!

Apart from that specified for navigation data, the provision of data with respect to the purposes referred to in letters a), b), c) and d) indicated in the section “How do we use the data collected?” is optional, but any refusal will make it impossible for ilFotoalbum to fulfill its contractual obligations.

Your rights

The following points are useful to draw your attention to a number of rights that the Privacy Policy – personal data protection reserves for you in order to better protect your personal data.

In accordance with article 7 of the Privacy Code (as far as it is still compatible with Legislative Decree 101/20185) and with articles 13, paragraph 2, letters (b) and (d), articles 15- 22 of the Regulations, we inform the interested parties that, by entrusting ilFotoalbum with their personal data, it is possible to exercise the following rights, the exercise of which is not subject to any form constraint and is free of charge.
