Privacy Policy

THE MEANING OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY
In the following privacy policy Govoni Law Firm (hereinafter the “Firm”) intends to describe the working of this website, with specific regard to the modalities whereby personal data pertaining to the users who visit it are gathered, registered and used, as well as the purposes of such processing: this notice has been issued for the website www.govonilaw.com, (hereinafter “Govonilaw website”) only and is not meant to be applied to the other websites possibly visited by the user through the links on the pages of the aforementioned websites. Govonilaw’s website is run and controlled by Govonilaw, the “Data Controller”, whose seat is in Via G. Ferret 86, 07041 Alghero, Italy. This privacy policy, addressed to anyone who enjoys Govonilaw’s web services, intends to satisfy the requirements provided for by EU Regulation n. 679/2016 (the “Regulation”) and Legislative Decree no. 196/2003 (the “Privacy Code”) and it also draws inspiration from Recommendation no. 2/2001, adopted on May 17, 2001 by the EU authorities for the personal data protection, that are all part of the Group created pursuant to art. 29 of Directive no. 95/46/EC. This Recommendation identifies some basic requirements for the on-line collection of personal data; in particular, the nature of the information, as well as the timing and modalities of their provision, to be supplied by the holder of processing to the users whenever the latter visit some web pages, no matter what the reasons of their connection are.

PLACE OF DATA PROCESSING
The website is hosted on machines managed by an external company and located in Via G. Ferret 86, 07041 Alghero, Italy. However, communications are transferred to Govonilaw’s servers in order to reply to the users’ requests.

TYPE OF DATA PROCESSED
Navigation data
The IT systems and the software procedures for the operation of this website, while being normally used, collect some personal data whose transmission is implicit while using the Internet communication protocols. The above information is not collected to be associated to any identified persons; yet, its same nature could make it possible to identify users, by means of special processing and associations with other data. The IP addresses or the domain names through which the users connect to the website, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of the resources requested, the time of request, the procedures used to submit the request to server, the file size of the reply, the numeric code indicating the status of the server’s reply (successfully delivered, error and so on) and other parameters relating to the user’s operating system or IT environment, fall within this category of data.

Data voluntarily provided by the user
The optional, explicit and voluntary sending of electronic mail messages to the addresses indicated on this website for the sending of contact requests or of the CVs implies the following collection of the sender’s address, necessary to reply to possible requests, as well as of the other personal data, if any, included in the message. Specifically, the users that wish to send their CVs through Govonilaw’s website are invited to pay the due attention to this notice with regard to the processing of data related to them and inserted in the CVs sent. In this way only the processing can be carried out consciously and deliberately. In particular, Govonilaw acquaints that the Regulation and the Privacy Code prescribes that sensible and “particular” data (i.e. personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, and the processing of genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation) can be lawfully processed only by previous consent; it is difficult, thought, to obtain such a consent from each user. Thus, the Firm’s intention being a legitimate and transparent processing, the same invites those being interested in the online sending of the CVs not to include any sensible and/or particular data in it. The consent to the possible transfer abroad of the data contained in the CV will be requested upon the conoscitive and informative interview. In response to the ex-associates’ requests, Govonilaw has created a special network, the so called Network of Govonilaw’s Alumni (hereinafter “NGA”), an initiative addressed to all those who took part in the Firm and wish to keep in touch with their ex-colleagues and the Firm’s activities. In order to participate in this initiative it is necessary to be registered in NGA, by sending an e-mail to the address indicated in the special webpage, with the inclusion of the phone numbers and the address whereon the user prefers to be contacted (eg. phone number, fax, mobile number etc.). In order to complete the registration, the user will be called on the phone number indicated in the e-mail and upon that occasion he/she will have the opportunity to consent to the processing of his/her personal data for the purposes and with the modalities as indicated in this privacy policy. In any case, if necessary, specific synthetic information reports and special consent forms will be displayed from time to time in the website pages created for special services on request.

PURPOSES OF DATA PROCESSING AND COMMUNICATION

Personal data provided by users sending their CVs, requesting to be sent information on Govonilaw’s events and initiatives, wishing to register themselves in NGA or deciding to send contact requests or to enjoy Govonilaw’s services will be only used to reply to and satisfy the request and will be communicated to any third parties only in the event that it is required for that purpose. The “legal basis” pursuant to the Regulation allowing the collection and processing of the personal data consists of the execution of the service expressly requested by users. Personal data furnished by those who decide to register in the Network of Govonilaw’s Alumni shall be used, with automated modalities also, to process the registration and to advertise and keep them posted on activities and projects the Firm undertakes. In this case, the data will be processed through the legal basis of the execution of the service requested by the user, namely joining the Network and the updating on the activities and initiatives of the same. Govonilaw, finally, may process users’ personal data in the pursuit of its own or third parties’ “legitimate interests”, for example for the management of any disputes, claims, complaints, and protection of their information systems, as well as to comply with the applicable laws and regulations.
