The Data Controller may be contacted by e-mail at the following address privacy@softsolutions.it

Personal data may be processed on behalf of the Data Controller by another person appointed by the Data Controller, the ‘Data Processor’.

If you require more information on the updated list of our Data Processors, you may send a written request to the above mentioned Data Controller address.

Categories of data subject to Processing

The Data Controller processes personal, identification and non-sensitive data (i.e. name, surname, tax identification code, VAT Number, email address, telephone number, etc.) – hereafter referred to as ‘data’ – reported by you during the pre-contractual negotiations, the signature of the Contract and until its termination for any reason.

The data collection may be also carried out following the consultation of public registers, lists, deeds or documents that might be known by anyone within the terms and conditions set out by the rules on their availability.

Purposes of the processing

Your data will be processed without your consent (art. 24 a, b, c Privacy Code and art. 6 b and e GDPR) for the following purposes:

  • Provide you the information requested;
  • Comply with the preliminary requirements for the performance of the Contract for the sale / purchase of goods and / or services of the Data Controller;
  • carry out the management of administration, accounting, orders, shipping, invoicing, services;
  • comply with the pre-contractual, contractual and fiscal obligations deriving from the outstanding relationships with you;

  • We also inform you that if you are already one of our customers, we may send with your consent promotional communications relating to the data controller’s services and products similar to those you have already used, (art. 130, clause 4 Privacy Code).

If the data controller intends to process your data for purposes other than those described in the paragraph above, you will be informed in advance.

Lawfulness of Processing

Processing shall be lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies:

  • the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes (Article 6 paragraph 1 letter a) and art. 9 par. 2 lett. a) EU Reg. 679/2016);
  • processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract (Article 6 paragraph 1 letter b) EU Reg. 679/2016);
  • processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data (Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f) Reg. EU 679/2016).

Reason for the personal data provision

The provision of data for the abovementioned purposes is mandatory, insofar as it is requested for the fulfilment of legal and contractual obligations. Any refusal to provide them or any subsequent lack of authorisation for their Processing may cause the inability of the Data Controller Owner to implement the same contractual relationships.

Modalities to process personal data

Processing will be carried out in an automated and / or manual manner, using methods and tools in compliance with the security measures under art. 32 of the GDPR and Annex B of the Privacy Code (articles 33-36 of the Code), by specifically appointed persons, in compliance with the provisions of art. 29 GDPR, in order to pursue only the purposes for which the data were collected and, in any case, to guarantee their security and confidentiality.

  • Without your consent (art. 24 a), b), d), Privacy Code and art. 6 b) and c) GDPR) the data controller may communicate your data for the purposes described in clause “Purpose of processing” to supervisory bodies, judicial authorities and all other subjects (Labour Inspectorate, ASL, Social Security Funds, ENASARCO, Chamber of Commerce) which by law require such communication in order to achieve these purposes.

These subjects will hold data as independent data controllers.
