None of the data generated by the web service of G.B. Thermae Hotels s.r.l. will be communicated or disseminated.

TYPES OF DATA PROCESSED

Navigation data. The computer systems and software procedures used to operate this website acquire, during their normal operation, some personal data that is implicitly transmitted when using the communication protocols of the Internet. This information is not collected for the purposes of associating it with identified users, but by way of its very nature could enable users to be identified, when processed and associated with data held by third parties. This category of data includes IP addresses or domain names of computers used by users connecting to the site, URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of requested resources, the time of 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 regarding the operating system and computer environment. These data are only used to obtain anonymous statistics on site usage and to check that it is working properly, and they are deleted after processing. The data could be used to ascertain responsibility in case of hypothetical IT computer crimes against the site. With the exception of this possibility, the data about web contacts do not persist for more than 180 days. Data provided voluntarily by the user. The optional, explicit and voluntary sending of e-mails to the addresses indicated on this site involves the subsequent acquisition of the sender’s email address, which is required for the purpose of responding to the requests, and other personal data contained in the message. Specific summary information will be progressively reported or displayed in the pages of the site designated for special services on request.

COOKIES 

None of the users’ personal data is intentionally acquired from the site. Cookies are not used to transmit information of a personal nature, nor are so-called persistent cookies of any kind, or systems for tracing users used. The use of so-called session cookies (which are not stored permanently on the user's computer and disappear when the browser is closed) is strictly limited to transmitting session identifiers (consisting of random numbers generated by the server) and these are necessary in order to enable the user to explore the site safely and efficiently. The so-called session cookies used in this site remove the need to use other IT technologies that could compromise the privacy of the users' browsing experience and do not allow the acquisition of the users’ personal identification data.

OPTIONAL NATURE OF AUTHORIZATION TO PROCESS DATA

Without prejudice to the terms specified for navigation data, the user is free to provide the personal data contained in the application forms to the Guarantor, or the data that is in any case indicated in contacts with the office to request information  or for other communications. Failure to authorize the processing of said data can make it impossible to fulfil the request. It must be remembered that in some cases (not within the ordinary management of this site) the Authority may request information under Article 157 of Italian Legislative Decree n. 196/2003, in order to control the processing of personal data. In these cases a reply must be provided, under penalty of a fine.

PROCESSING METHODS

Personal data are processed by automated tools for the time strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which they were acquired. Specific security measures are taken to prevent the loss, illicit or incorrect use and unauthorized access to the same.

USERS' RIGHTS
