1. Introduction

DF Audit S.p.A. ("DF") undertakes to guarantee the protection of personal data of its current and potential customers (collectively, "customers") on a daily basis.

This information notice seeks to provide customers a clear and transparent overview of what information we collect and process in relation to our customers as part of the contractual relationship and the use of our website.

In the following paragraphs we will explain how we use personal data of customers, for what purposes and for how long, also remembering how we guarantee the rights of customers and compliance with the rules on personal data protection.

2. Who is the data controller of the customer's personal data?

DF Audit S.p.A., with registered office in Via Trieste, 49/53, Padua (Italy), in the person of its legal representative, is the data controller of the customer's personal data (the "Controller", "DF" or "we").

3. Data Protection Officer (DPO)

DF, not being obliged by the terms of the regulation to designate a DPO and not deeming it useful to proceed with this designation on a voluntary basis, did not deem it necessary appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO). For information or notifications regarding the compliance by the Controller with the formalities prescribed by the GDPR and in general with the legislation regarding the protection of personal data and to exercise their rights, as mentioned in this statement, the customer can send an e-mail to the e-mail address info@dfaudit.com or write to DF Audit SpA Via Trieste, 53 - 35121 - Padua (Italy).

4. What is personal data and what data do we process?

"Personal data" means any information that may identify, directly or indirectly, a natural person, in this case the customer who uses (or may use) the services provided by DF.

In particular, we collect and process the personal data of the customer necessary for the conclusion of the contract and the provision of services, such as:

  • personal and identification data (name, surname, date and place of birth, tax code, gender) of the signer of the letter of appointment, the legal representative and the actual controller;
  • the address of residence, the telephone number and the email address of the signer of the letter of appointment, of the legal representative and of the actual controller;
  • in general, any other data and information necessary for the conclusion and execution of the contract.

In addition, when the customer uses our site we process (or could process following updates in the future) the navigation data, customer contact information, IP address, the domain name of the devices used by the customer, the URL used, the information relating to the operating system and the computer environment used by the customer, the browsing history, the geographical coordinates of the mobile device, as well as the data provided by the client voluntarily in this context to use and purchase our services.

We also collect customer data via cookies. Cookies are small text files that the sites visited by users send to their terminals, where they are stored before being re-transmitted to the same sites at the next visit. In general, we use the so-called technical cookies necessary to guarantee the user the best functionality of our website. If the customer wishes to disable/reject the use of such cookies, they can at any time edit their browser settings on their PC.

5. Why do we process customers' personal data?

First of all, we collect and process personal data concerning customers and that are strictly necessary to follow up the requests and services they have subscribed to. In particular:

  • for the stipulation and execution of the contract concerning our services, i.e. for purposes strictly connected and instrumental to the completion of the necessary pre-contractual activities (risk assessment including creditworthiness and solvency), to the management of the contractual relationship (administrative and accounting, customer assistance, claims management, credit recovery), the provision of services, from time to time, required;
  • for the protection of our corporate assets and the defence of our rights on the basis of our legitimate interest;
  • for compliance with legal obligations and requests of the Authorities, as well as for compliance with the provisions of the legislation for the prevention of fraud, money laundering and terrorist financing, where applicable.

Moreover, with focus on continuous improvement of customer satisfaction and in order to offer services of possible interest, we process customer data for commercial and marketing promotion activities for the direct offer of our products and services similar to those already purchased from customers. To do so we will act on the basis of our legitimate interest, giving at any time to the customer the right to object to receiving such communications by writing to us at info@dfaudit.com or by contacting us at the addresses indicated in paragraph 3 above.

If we have previously acquired the customers’ express and specific consent, which can be revoked at any time by writing to the email address info@dfaudit.com or contacting us at the addresses indicated in paragraph 3 above, we will process the customers’ personal data:

  • for the purpose of direct commercial activities by sending customer communications - using traditional and automated systems - concerning the entire range of products and services offered by us and third-party partners;
  • for profiling purposes, to allow the processing and completion of studies and statistical and market research, to allow the creation/definition of a customer profile, to analyse their preferences and needs so as to offer more products and services line with customer needs.

In any case, we are committed to ensuring that the information collected and used is appropriate to the purposes described, and that this does not result in an invasion of the customer's personal sphere.

6. Who do we disclose customer data to?

We disclose the customer's data only to the parties that we appoint to perform activities necessary for achieving the purposes indicated and described in paragraph 5 above.

The parties mentioned above are specifically appointed by us as data processors (a list can be requested at the addresses indicated in the previous paragraph 3).

We may also disclose the customer's data to the parties that are entitled to disclosure by virtue of legal obligations. These parties perform their respective processing activities as independent controllers.

7. Where do we transfer customer data?

As a rule, we do not transfer customer data outside the European Union (even if we use international cloud service and are currently independent members of an international network with an intranet site for sharing documents/resources). In certain circumstances and for purposes related to the verification of creditworthiness and financial soundness, some customer data may be transferred to third countries.

In this case we make sure that the recipient, acting as data controller, complies with the provisions of the GDPR, including the rules specifically for the transfer of personal data to third countries. In particular, we guarantee that said transfers take place on the basis of an adequacy decision or the signing by the manager of contractual clauses of data protection type approved by the European Commission.

The actual transfer of personal data to third countries and the related additional information can be requested by contacting us at the addresses indicated in paragraph 3 above.

8. How long do we retain customer data?

We retain customer data only for the time necessary to perform processing for the purposes mentioned above.

In particular, below are the main periods of use and storage of the customers’ personal data with reference to the different processing purposes:

a) we will process the customers’ data for the entire duration of the contract and until there are obligations or obligations related to their execution. After termination of the contractual relationship, we will keep the data for 11 years to fulfil legal obligations or to defend our rights;

b) with reference to the processing for marketing purposes, carried out on the basis of a legitimate interest, or the customer's consent, the customer data will be processed for the duration of the contract and until there are obligations or conditions related to its execution, unless the customer opposes processing or revokes their consent.

c) customer data will be processed for profiling purposes until revocation of consent and/or the request to terminate processing has been received. In any case, the profiling activities will take into account only the data relative to the last 36 months;

d) for the fulfilment of legal obligations, the customer's data will be processed and stored as long as the need for processing persists to fulfil these legal obligations.
