Privacy
Statement
The
KERNEL Sistemi s.r.l. is happy you are visiting our website. Data
protection and data security while using our website are very
important for us. So we would like to inform you at this point which
of your personal data we record during your visit and for what
purpose this is used.
As
legislative amendments or changes to our company-internal processes
necessitate adaptation of this Privacy Statement, we request you to
read through this Privacy Statement regularly.
1.1 Scope
This
Privacy Statement applies for the KERNEL Sistemi s.r.l. offering
accessible under the domain www.kernelgroup.it and the various
subdomains (hereinafter referred to as "our website").
1.2 What is personal data?
Personal
data is information that can be used to find out your personal or
factual circumstances (e.g. name, address, telephone number or e-mail
address). Data that could not be used to identify you (or only with a
disproportionate level of effort) is not classed as personal data,
e.g. data that has been anonymised.
1.3 What personal data do we collect/process and
use?
You
can use a large part of our web presence without disclosing personal
data. Access data are saved which have no personal connection, such
as the name of your Internet service provider, the page from which
you are visiting us, the name of the requested files and their access
date. These data are exclusively evaluated with a view to improving
our offering and gives no indication whatsoever of your identity.
However,
insofar as you wish to take advantage of the services offered on our
Internet presence, such as ordering a newsletter etc., it is
necessary that you specify further data. This is the data required
for the particular processing, such as your e-mail address for
ordering a newsletter.
We
use the data collected about you to provide the products and services
we offer, to answer your questions and to operate and improve our
websites and applications.
We
use your personal data exclusively to be able to offer you an
extensive service via our website or, if you use a contact form, e.g.
to register for a newsletter, to order a sample product or a white
paper, to render the required service.
There
is no further use of your personal data. Forwarding of your personal
data to third persons or use of your data for advertising purposes
without your consent does not take place (except in the case below)
unless we are legally required to disclose data (information to
criminal prosecution authorities and courts; information to public
authorities which receive data on the basis of legal
stipulations,e.g. social insurance providers, tax authorities etc.)
or engage third parties professionally obliged to maintain secrecy in
order to assert our claims. In particular, personal data are used as
follows :
1.3.1 Registration
When
you register with KERNEL Sistemi s.r.l., mandatory fields are
labelled as such (*); all other information is optional. These data
are used for the stipulated purposes in order to offer you this
service.
1.3.2 Newsletter
In
order to register for our e-mail newsletter, besides your consent we
required at least your e-mail address to which the newsletter is to
be sent. Any other information is voluntary and is used to address
you and to be able to personally configure the content of the
newsletter and clarify queries about your e-mail address. It is
entirely up to you whether you provide us with this data. However,
without this information we cannot send you our newsletter.
If
you register for the newsletter we will store and use your e-mail
address for our own advertising purposes until you unsubscribe from
the newsletter. To unsubscribe, you can either send us an informal
e-mail to support@kernelgroup.it or cancel via the link at the end of
the newsletter.
1.3.3 Advertising and market
research
If
you have issued consent to advertising and market research, we use
your information extending beyond handling the services you require
to also offer an Internet presence geared to your interests and
occasionally interesting news and information about our company or
our range of goods and services by post or e-mail (in the form of a
newsletter) on the basis of your data, tailored to your individual
interests, and use your data for the necessary evaluation and for
market research purposes. This only takes place internally and only
for the purposes mentioned. You can revoke this consent at any time
to support@kernelgroup.it. If you have not given your consent or if
you revoke it, there is no use of data in accordance with the
previous paragraph. You can, of course, use the services from KERNEL
Sistemi s.r.l., however.
1.4 User profiles / Use of cookies
Apart
from in the cases stated above, we do not create any personal user
profiles. In connection with the retrieval of the information
requested by you, data will only be saved on our servers in an
anonymised form to render our various services or for evaluation
purposes. General information is logged, e.g. when what content is
retrieved from our offering or which sites are most frequently
visited.
We
use cookies (small text files with configuration information).
Cookies are small text files, which, in the course of your visit to
our Internet sites, are sent to your browser where they are kept on
your computer for subsequent retrieval. We only use 'session cookies'
(also known as temporary cookies), i.e. those that are only saved
temporarily for the duration of your use of one of our Internet
sites.
These
cookies, in particular, are used to determine the frequency of use
and the number of users of our websites and to continue to identify
your computer during a visit to our Internet presence on changing
from one of our websites to another of our websites, and to be able
to determine the end of your visit.
We
therefore know which area of our websites and which other websites
our users have visited. This usage data does not allow any indication
of the user's identity. In accordance with chapter 1.3 of this
Privacy Statement, none of this anonymised usage data collected is
merged with your personal data and all data is immediately deleted
immediately at the end of the statistical evaluation. At the end of
the session, as soon as you finish your browser session, the cookies
are deleted.
Most
browsers are preset such that they automatically accept cookies.
However, you can deactivate saving of cookies or set your browser
such that it notifies you before cookies are saved. Users that do not
accept cookies may not be able to access certain areas of our
websites.
Further
information on cookies
1.5 Integration of social plug-ins
Plug-ins
are also contained on our websites from the social networks
"Facebook" (Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo
Alto, CA 94304, USA) and "Twitter" (Twitter, Inc. 1355
Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA).
These
are operated by the respective provider. The plug-ins used in our
online presence are identified from the respective button from the
service.
If
you visit a page of our websites that contains such a plug-in, your
browser establishes a connection to the servers from the respective
service, as a result of which the content of the plug-in is
transmitted to your browser and integrated into the displayed page.
This means that the information about the visit to our website is
forwarded to the respective service. If, while visiting our website,
you are at the same time logged-in to the respective service via your
personal user account (e.g. via another browser session), this
service can assign the visit on our website to your account.
With
the aid of plug-ins, users can share or post links to relevant
websites in social networks like Twitter or Facebook or to recommend
the contents there. As a result of any active interaction you may
make with these plug-ins, e.g. by clicking the respective button or
adding a comment, this information is transferred directly to the
respective service and stored there. If you want to prevent such a
transfer of data from taking place, then you must log off from your
user account of the respective service before visiting our website.
The extent and purpose of data collection from the respective service
and the processing and use of your data is available directly from
the data protection notice on the service website
(www.facebook.com/about/privacy, twitter.com/privacy). There you
will also find further information concerning your applicable data
protection rights and setting options for the protection of your
privacy.
1.6 Security measures to protect the data we
save
We
pledge to protect your privacy and to treat your personal data
confidentially. We take extensive technical and organisational
precautions that are constantly revised to take account of the latest
technological developments. However, you should be aware that the
Internet is structured in such a way that it is possible that the
data protection rules or the above security measures are not followed
by our cooperating persons or institutions for which we are not
responsible. In particular, details divulged without being encrypted
- even if these are by e-mail - can be read by third parties. We have
no technical influence over this. It is the responsibility of the
user to protect any data made available from misuse either by way of
encryption or by other methods.
1.7 Hyperlinks to external websites
Our
website includes hyperlinks to websites operated by other providers.
Clicking on these hyperlinks takes you from our website directly to
the website of the other providers. This can be identified through
the change in the URL, etc. We do not accept any responsibility for
the confidential handling of your data on these third-party websites,
since we cannot influence these companies to comply with the data
privacy provisions. You should find out directly on these websites
how these companies handle your personal data.
1.8 Revocation / objection
We
would like to point out that you can always revoke the consent you
have given with effect for the future and the processing and use of
your personal data can also be objected to at any time: Please
contact support@kernelgroup.it
!
1.9 Information about your personal data saved
by us / storage period / deletion
We
will only store your personal data for as long as is permitted by
law. The deletion of the personal data stored is carried out if you
revoke your consent to storage, if knowledge of the data is no longer
necessary for the fulfilment of the purpose for which it was saved,
especially if the user account is deleted, or if storage is
inadmissible on other legal grounds. We would be happy to notify you,
on request, which of your personal data we have stored. Despite our
efforts to keep correct and current data, should incorrect data be
stored, we will correct it promptly at your request.
You
have the possibility at any time to verify, change or delete the data
that you have made available to us by sending an e-mail to
support@kernelgroup.it! If you have permanently deleted your user
account, the data saved under the user account are fully deleted
automatically. A request for deletion is not necessary.
Should
you wish to have the saved data deleted, deletion will be carried out
on your request without delay. If deletion is not possible for legal
reasons, the data will be barred from further processing. Please
note, however, that with the deletion of your data, we can no longer
offer the services described here.
If
the user permanently deletes his user account, the data record saved
under the user's account is fully deleted automatically.
