There are two types of data gathered and used by the Stamperia Valdonega Group s.r.l.:

- Data given voluntarily by the user and communication by email

1. Site navigation data

The computer systems and the software procedures necessary to running this website automatically gather some personal data (the transmission of certain types of information being implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols).
These data are not gathered in order to be applied to known individuals, but the very nature of this type of information means that it could lead to the user being identified, by making associations with and working on data held by third parties.
The following are in this category: IP addresses or the dominion names associated with the computer being used by the individuals who log onto our site, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) notation of the requested resources, the time of the request, the method used to make the request to the server, the size of the file received in reply, the numerical code that indicates the status of the server’s reply (operation successful, error, etc.) and other parameters relating to the operating system and the user’s computer system.

These data are used solely for the purpose of gathering anonymous statistical information on use of our website, and to check that our systems are working correctly. They are deleted immediately after the statistics are compiled. The data could be used to find the guilty party/parties in the case of computer crimes or damage caused to the website.

2. Data voluntarily provided by the user

Through the optional, explicit and voluntary sending of electronic mail to the addresses given on this website, the sender’s e-mail address - necessary to us in order to reply to requests - and any other personal data contained in the missive, will be made known to us.
Specific summary documents will be progressively added to or viewed on the pages of the website dedicated to special services available on request.

5) Cookies

The website never deliberately acquires users’ personal information.
We do not use cookies to transmit information of a personal nature, nor do we use persistent c.d. cookies (user tracking systems) of any kind.
The use of session c.d. cookies (which are not persistently stored on the user’s computer and disappear when the browser is closed) is strictly limited to the transmission of information identifying the session (made up of random numbers generated by the server), information that is vital if you wish to securely and efficiently explore the website.
The session c.d. cookies used on this website avoid us having to turn to other techniques which could potentially impair the confidentiality of our user’s site navigation data and would not allow the user to enter his/her personal identification for navigating on the site.
More specifically, the following personal information relating to the user will be temporarily stored in the cookies:

- the URL you are coming from (whether the URL is on Valdonegabooks or on other websites)
- the next URL typed in (whether the URL is on Valdonegabooks or on other websites)
- the type of browser being used
- the IP address

6) How the gathered data are used

Your personal information is handled using electronic instruments and kept only for the length of time necessary to perform the functions it was gathered for. For this purpose, some website experiences may be passed on to our suppliers in order to allow the service to be enjoyed by the website user.
The Stamperia Valdonega Group s.r.l. may use personal data (the data necessary for logging onto the valdonegabooks.it website and using the services advertised on it) without the user’s express consent in order to fulfil specific obligations imposed by Italian laws and regulations and the relevant European Union directives. Moreover, in the cases identified by the Guarantor for the protection of personal information, personal information may be used to pursue the legitimate interests of the Stamperia Valdonega Group s.r.l. or of a third party, such as, for example, protection again fraud or other forms of behaviour in contravention of the User Agreement, or to exercise or defend a right in a court of law.
Within the limits and for the purposes stated in the Privacy Policy, some personal information regarding users may be forwarded by the Stamperia Valdonega Group s.r.l. to third parties, whether public or private, including:

- the suppliers of the services acquired, necessary in order to allow the user to avail of said services;
- State and civil service financial administration bodies;
- The judicial authorities and police forces
- Banks and credit institutions, credit collection agencies and private risk companies;
- Our company’s consultants and firms of professionals (legal consultants, accountants, tax collectors, etc.)
Specific security measures have been adopted to prevent information being lost or used illicitly or incorrectly, and to prevent unauthorised access.
The Stamperia Valdonega Group s.r.l. does not exercise control over the further use of personal data or information sharing between service providers that autonomously handle the personal information they gather. We recommend that users consult the providers’ Privacy Policies or to apply to them directly to consult the privacy rules they put into practice.

Moreover, the user can, at any stage, check the accuracy of the information provided by sending an e-mail requesting that the details be changed or updated.

7) The optional nature of providing personal data

Apart from the details listed above for navigating within the site, the user is free to provide the personal information requested in the enquiry form and also in the “Contact us” section to ask for promotional materials or other information to be sent.
Failure to provide this information will result in the request not being met.
On the other hand, it will be necessary to obtain users’ express and previous consent before using their personal data for other business purposes and, in particular, for marketing purposes, customer loyalty initiatives or business initiatives from the Stamperia Valdonega Group s.r.l. or third parties with which the Stamperia Valdonega Group s.r.l. has drawn up/is going to draw up business agreements. In these cases, agreeing to one’s personal information being used is entirely optional. If users do not consent to their details being used for these purposes, then it may be impossible for the Stamperia Valdonega Group s.r.l. (or related companies) to provide them with certain personalised services.
