3.Types of data processed – Purposes and legal basis of the processing

Among the personal data collected by this website, either independently or through third parties, are:

  • Browsing and usage data (through cookies);
  • Personal data voluntarily provided by the user.

The User is responsible for the publication or sharing of third-party personal data through the website and guarantees that they have the right to communicate or disclose such data, releasing the Data Controller from any liability towards third parties.

3.1 Browsing and usage data

The computer systems and software procedures used to operate the Website automatically acquire certain personal data, the transmission of which is inherent in the use of Internet communication protocols.

These data are processed for purposes related to the provision of services offered through the Website, including ensuring the proper functioning of the services themselves.

This category of data includes:

  • Visitor’s IP address;
  • Date and time of access;
  • Page viewed;
  • Referring page, if any;
  • Browser and operating system used.

These are not collected to be associated with identified individuals, but by their very nature, they could allow the identification of users through processing and association with data held by the Data Controller or by third parties.

Browsing and usage data are processed for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring the proper functioning of the Website and the usability of its services, including the display of content on external platforms and interaction with social networks and external platforms;
  • Obtaining aggregate and anonymized statistical information about the use of the Website (e.g., most visited pages, number of visitors per hour or day, geographical areas of origin, etc.);
  • Protecting our systems from possible cyber attacks.


In relation to such data, the legal basis for processing can be found, depending on the cases, in the performance of a contract of which the data subject is a party (pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter b) of the GDPR) or in the pursuit of a legitimate interest of the Controller (pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter f) of the GDPR).

For more information on the collection, use, and retention periods of navigation data, please refer to the cookie policy available on the website www.cmcc.it.

3.2 Personal data provided by the data subject

The personal data voluntarily provided by the user, through the completion of forms in certain sections of the Website or by sending email messages to the email addresses indicated or accessible through links on the Website, are processed by the Controller for purposes related to the provision of services offered through the Website. In this case, the legal basis for the processing is the performance of a contract of which the data subject is a party, pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter b) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).

In particular, the personal data provided by the data subject may be processed for the following purposes: a) concerning the data provided through the optional and voluntary sending of email messages to the email addresses indicated on the Website (including, in particular, the sender’s email address and any other personal data included in the message) in order to carry out the necessary processing activities to respond to the user’s requests; b) concerning the data provided by filling out the newsletter subscription form (name, surname, email address, country, and sector) in order to send periodic informative communications about events (webinars) and projects of the CMCC Foundation.

Specific information will be published on the Website’s pages or on external platforms accessible through the Website, set up to provide certain services (such as the portal dedicated to spontaneous applications for job positions at the Foundation) or to participate in specific initiatives promoted by the Controller, also in collaboration with external partners (webinars, events, training initiatives, etc.).

4.Modalities of the processing

The processing will be carried out using paper and/or computerized tools, also by authorized parties who operate under the direct authority and according to the instructions provided by the Controller, with logic strictly related to the indicated purposes and, in any case, in a manner that ensures the security and confidentiality of the processed data. The processing operations are carried out in a way that guarantees the security of the data and systems. Specific security measures are adopted to minimize the risks of destruction or loss, including accidental loss, unauthorized access, or processing that is not permitted or in accordance with the purposes stated in this notice. However, the security measures implemented do not allow for absolute exclusion of the risks of interception or compromise of personal data transmitted via electronic means. Therefore, it is recommended to verify that the user’s device is equipped with adequate software systems for the protection of telematic data transmission, both incoming and outgoing (such as up-to-date antivirus systems, firewalls, and spam filters).

5.Data retention

In compliance with the provisions of Article 5, paragraph 1, letter e) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the data will be kept by the Controller for a period not exceeding the time necessary to achieve the purposes for which the data was collected and subsequently processed. In particular: a) the data provided through the optional and voluntary sending of email messages to the email addresses indicated on the Website will be retained for the time necessary to respond to the data subject; b) the data provided for newsletter subscription will be kept for as long as the service itself is active: therefore, the data will be retained until the data subject requests cancellation from the service.

6.Recipients of personal data

Personal data may be disclosed to:

  • Authorized collaborators and employees of the Controller, within the scope of their respective duties;
  • Providers of services offered through the Website or related to its functioning, who act as Data Processors pursuant to Article 28 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, including WP Engine for hosting services. Further recipients of data collected through the Website, or as a result of using certain services provided through external platforms accessible from the Website, will be indicated in specific information notices dedicated to the processing related to such services. Under no circumstances will personal data be communicated, disclosed, transferred, or otherwise transmitted to third parties for illicit purposes without providing appropriate information to the data subjects and obtaining their consent, where required by law. The communication of data may occur upon request of the judicial authority or public security authority, in the manners and cases provided by law.

7.Transfer of data abroad

Personal data will not be transferred abroad to countries or international organizations outside the European Union that do not guarantee an adequate level of protection recognized under Article 45 of the GDPR, based on an adequacy decision of the EU Commission. In case it becomes necessary for the provision of Website services, the transfer of personal data to countries or international organizations outside the EU, for which the Commission has not adopted any adequacy decision under Article 45 of the GDPR, will only take place if adequate safeguards are provided by the recipient country or organization, in accordance with Article 46 of the GDPR, and provided that data subjects have enforceable rights and effective remedies. In the absence of an adequacy decision of the Commission under Article 45 of the GDPR, or adequate safeguards under Article 46 of the GDPR, including binding corporate rules, cross-border transfers will only take place if one of the conditions indicated in Article 49 of the GDPR is met.

8.Rights of the data subject

In accordance with the applicable regulations, each data subject has the right to access their personal data and request its rectification, updating, or erasure, or the restriction of processing if the data is incomplete, inaccurate, or unlawfully collected. Data subjects also have the right to object to the processing of their personal data for legitimate reasons or to request data portability.

In particular, the data subject has the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them exists, even if not yet recorded, and to receive such data in an intelligible form.

The data subject has the right to object, in whole or in part, for legitimate reasons, to the processing of personal data concerning them, even if pertinent to the purpose of collection.

9.Exercise of rights

To exercise these rights, data subjects can send an email to [email protected].
