For any request about your personal data you can write to us from the contact page of the site, or by post at the registered office address.

• Data you send with the contact form: name, email, company, topic, and the text of your message.
• Data you send with the Venture Partnership form: name, email, project name, stage, sector, an optional link, and the description of your idea.
• Data about the submission: the language of the site and the page the request was sent from.
• Technical browsing data: IP address, browser type, and pages requested, recorded by the systems that host the site to run and protect it.
• Statistics on how the site is used, collected with Google Analytics only if you accept measurement cookies.

We do not ask for special categories of data, such as health data. Please do not include them in your messages.

• To answer your request and prepare a proposal: processing is necessary to take steps at your request before a possible contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
• To assess the idea you submit for the Venture Partnership: same basis, at your request.
• To run the site and protect it from abuse: this is our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)).
• To measure how the site is used with Google Analytics: only with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time.
• To comply with legal obligations, where they apply (Art. 6(1)(c)).

We do not use your data for automated decisions or profiling, we do not sell it, and we do not use it to send you promotional messages you did not ask for.

Your data is accessed by the people at rwstech who handle requests and by the suppliers that provide us with technical services, such as site hosting and the systems we use to manage contacts. These suppliers act on our instructions, as data processors.

If you accept measurement cookies, statistical data is processed by Google Ireland Limited. In that case some data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area, under the safeguards set out in the GDPR, such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses.

• Contact requests: for as long as needed to handle the request and any relationship that follows.
• Venture Partnership proposals: for as long as needed to assess them and, if the collaboration starts, for its duration.
• Technical browsing data: for the time strictly needed to run and secure the site.
• Statistical data: according to the cookie durations described in the cookie policy.

After these periods the data is deleted, unless the law requires us to keep it longer. You can ask us to delete it at any time.

At any time you can ask us to:

• tell you what data we hold about you and give you a copy;
• correct or update it;
• delete it or restrict its processing;
• provide it in a format another system can read;
• stop processing based on our legitimate interest;
• withdraw a consent you gave, without affecting what was done before the withdrawal.

If you believe the processing of your data breaks the law, you can lodge a complaint with the Italian data protection authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali (www.garanteprivacy.it), or with the authority of the country where you live.

We may update this policy when the site or the rules change. The version in force is always the one published on this page, with the date of the last update.
