Regarding personal data processing

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to describe the way our website https://www.riflessi.it (hereafter ‘website’) is managed in terms of processing users’ personal data.
Data processing includes any operation or group of operations, also carried out without the use of electronic instruments, as per art. 4 of EU Regulation 2016/679 (hereafter ‘GDPR’).
Such privacy policy is issued pursuant to art. 13 GDPR regarding the protection of natural persons when processing their personal data, and the free circulation of such data.  Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003 and later amendments applies for all users who consult and interact with the services provided by the website of Riflessi srl, registered office Via C. da Cucullo, Zona Industriale, 66026 Ortona, (CH), Italy, VAT No. 01536130691 (hereafter ‘data controller’ or ‘Riflessi’).
The privacy policy herein describes the aims and methods used by the data controller to collect and process personal data, the data categories involved in processing, the data subjects’ rights and how to exercise such rights.
Because the policy is valid only for this website, Riflessi assumes no liability regarding other websites that may be consulted through hyperlinks available on the company’s website. Data will be processed electronically and manually. This privacy policy also refers to data collected from the pages run by Riflessi on social network platforms, such as, by way of example only: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Messenger, WhatsApp and YouTube
