KIND OF PROCESSED DATA
Navigation data
The computer systems and software procedures used to operate the website http://www.pcapatlaw.it acquire, during their normal operation, some personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols.
This is information that is not collected to be associated with identified interested parties, but which by their very nature could, through processing and association with data held by third parties, allow users to be identified. This category of data includes IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by users connecting to the site, the addresses in the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) notation of the requested resources, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in response, the numerical code indicating the status of the response given by the server (success, error, etc.) and other parameters relating to the operating system and the user’s computer environment. These data are used for the sole purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information on the use of the site and to check its correct functioning and are deleted immediately after processing. The data in question could be used to ascertain responsibility in case of any computer crimes against our site: apart from this possibility, data on web contacts are generally not stored for more than seven days.

Interested person’s data
The optional, explicit and voluntary sending of mail to the physical and electronic addresses of PCA involves, by its very nature, the subsequent acquisition of the sender’s address, necessary to respond to requests, as well as any other personal data included in the message. We invite our users, in their requests for services or their queries, not to send names or other personal data of third parties that are not strictly necessary.
The personal data processed by us are essentially aimed to identify the subject (name, surname address, postal addresses), but also other data possibly provided for the performance of the service of technical legal advice and, to them, the previous rules apply. However, please note that, under Italian law, we are required to keep a copy of the correspondence for ten years: therefore, the right to cancellation concerns the deletion of a personal data useful for future contact, but cannot include the correspondence that remains kept in the archive. Furthermore, it should be noted that the management of information on legal entities may involve the acquisition of data relating to physical persons connected to them. For all the categories of interested parties (customers, suppliers, subjects subscribed to our mailing lists, users of the site and, in general, all the subjects with whom we work) the provision of their personal data is optional, but the failure to provide it may make it impossible to follow up the agreements made or to conclude the contract or provide the requested service. Personal data can also be collected from public online databases and from private databases that get information from public sources, but which are always related to Intellectual Property matters (Trademarks, Patents, Designs, domain names), mainly names and postal addresses of holders/licensees, or data available in public Company Registers and the like.

Processing methods and data transfer
Personal data are processed in paper format and / or with automated tools. PCA may transfer data to the following categories of addressees, authorized by this directly or by Clients through a Power of Attorney, exclusively to achieve the purposes for which they have been collected (protection of Industrial Property) and to observe the legal obligation to keep correspondence for 10 years:  consultants and professionals – alone or associated,- banks or lenders, Italian or European public bodies.

Since the legal technical advice provided by PCA is of an international nature, personal data may be transferred to correspondents (IP or legal consultants) and foreign bodies (Patent Offices, bodies for the reassignment of Domains)  in Approved States in appropriate and non-eligible States. but they are still available from these subjects.
Specific security measures are observed to prevent data loss, illicit or incorrect use and unauthorized access.
