· 2. Data retention period
Personal data collected and processed as a consequence of browsing the website will be retained for the entire period that the service is provided and then immediately deleted. The cookies installed through the site are temporary and are automatically deleted on expiration, as stated in this policy. The data collected through the services attributable to Google (for example Google Analytics) will be retained for a period of 14 months.
· 3. Methods of processing
The personal data collected will be processed and stored using electronic tools and will be saved on both paper and digital tools, which are organised in a database, and on any other suitable means.
Specific security measures are observed to prevent the loss of data, illegal or improper use and unauthorised access.
The processing of personal data performed by Sferova does not involve any automated decisional processes.
· 4. Communication and/or conferral of personal data
The communication and/or conferral of navigation data is a necessary requirement for providing the service requested (browsing on the website) and therefore mandatory for such purpose: a failure to communicate and/or confer personal data by the data subject shall make it impossible for Sferova to permit navigation on the website www.sferova.com.
The communication and/or conferral of data for other purposes is optional: a failure to communicate and/or confer data in this case will not have any consequences for the data subject. The installation of technical and analytic cookies is optional (it may be stopped through the browser settings), but could make the site or some of its services unusable.

The personal data collected will not be disclosed, but may be communicated not only to subjects to whom the right and interest to access your personal data is recognised by law or by secondary and/or EU regulations, but also to authorised staff of the Data Controller, as well as companies, associations or professional firms that provide services and activities on behalf of the Data Controller as Processor to fulfil legal obligations, as well as for any organisational and administrative requirements necessary to provide the services requested.
The names of other subjects to whom your personal data may be disclosed in their capacity as “Data Processors” are provided in the latest list available from Sferova (to be requested using the contact details given in point 9).

This policy is provided only for the processing of personal data performed through this website or the tools provided by the same, and not for any other websites, whose operators work as independent data controllers, that may be visited by the user through connection to the same. We therefore invite users to read the privacy policy carefully before using third-party services.
· 8. Rights of the data subject
In relation to the aforementioned processing of personal data, the data subject has the right to exercise, at any time, his or her rights pursuant to EU Regulation no. 679/2016, including, for example, to right to obtain information on:

(when “the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes”), or by article 9, paragraph 2, letter a. (when “the data subject has given explicit consent to the processing of those personal data for one or more specified purposes”) of EU Regulation 679/2016, at any moment without affecting the lawfulness of the processing based on consent before the withdrawal.
