General Information

Personal Data is any information relating to personal or material circumstances that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. This includes, for example, your name, date of birth, e-mail address, postal address, or telephone number as well as online identifiers such as your IP address. In contrast, information of a general nature that cannot be used to determine your identity is not Personal Data. This includes, for example, the number of users of a website.
b) What is processing?
"Processing" means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon Personal Data, whether or not by automatic means. The term is broad and covers virtually any handling of data.
c) What law applies?
In principle, we will only use your Personal Data in accordance with the applicable data protection laws, in particular Italy`s Data Protection Code (“DPC”) and the EU`s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and only as described in this Privacy Policy.
d) Responsible for data processing
Responsible for data processing is Eco Sicily S.R.L. of Via Cosenza 111, 91016, Erice, Sicily, Italy (“Eco Sicily”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).

You can reach us on WhatsApp using +39 347 518 7079, use our Contact Form or write to us at the above address.
e) Purpose and legal basis of processing

Of course, we can only do that if we have at least one of the following legal bases or in other words lawful reasons to do so. Unless specifically described below, we typically link the above purposes to one of the following:
General Principles
a) Security
Our website uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact requests that you send to us.
You can recognise an encrypted connection if the address line of your browser contains a "https://" instead of a "http://" and also has a lock symbol. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
We have also implemented numerous security measures (“technical and organizational measures”) for example encryption or need to know access, to ensure the most complete protection of Personal Data processed through this website.
Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. And databases or data sets that include Personal Data may be breached inadvertently or through wrongful intrusion.
Upon becoming aware of a data breach, we will notify all affected individuals whose Personal Data may have been compromised as expeditiously as possible after which the breach was discovered.
b) Minors
We will not knowingly collect, use or disclose personal information from minors without first obtaining consent from a legal guardian through direct contact.

Automated decision-making is the process of making a decision by automated means without any human involvement. Automated decision-making including profiling does not take place.

We take all reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the Personal Data we transfer.
g) Storage and retention
Your personal data will be stored by us only for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes for which the data was collected or - if statutory retention periods exist that go beyond this point and for the duration of the legally prescribed retention period. We then delete your personal data. Only in a few exceptional cases is your data be stored beyond this period, e.g., if storage is necessary in connection with the enforcement of and defense against legal claims against us.
h) Sharing and Disclosure
We will not disclose or otherwise distribute your Personal Data to third parties unless this is a) necessary for the performance of our services, b) you have consented to the disclosure, c) or if we are legally obliged to do so e.g., by court order or if this is necessary to support criminal or legal investigations or other legal investigations or other legal proceedings; as required by law or regulation; if Eco Sicily(or a part of Eco Sicily) is sold to or merged with another company; or proceedings at home or abroad or to fulfill our legitimate interests.
