Privacy Policy

 

Preface

This website, www.oadweb.it, does not require or allow visitor registration (unlike years ago for downloading the OAD Report).

Currently, all documents on the site, including the final OAD Reports, can be downloaded freely and freely by any visitor to this website. Therefore, no personal data of any kind is processed.

In compliance with "Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data," hereinafter referred to for brevity as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), this policy explains how cookies are managed and highlights the rights of site visitors under the GDPR.

 

1. Data Controller

The data controller of the oadweb.it domain, and therefore of this website, is Marco Rodolfo Alessandro Bozzetti, with registered office at Via Savona 25, 20144 Milan. He hereby informs you that the website does not process visitors' personal data.

 

2. Use of the Website and Its Services by a Visitor

During use of the website and its services, NON-PERSONAL information may be collected for statistical purposes and to improve the website's functionality and performance, such as:

• browsing and searches performed;
• technical data (e.g., URL from which the visitor originates, browser used, etc.);
• information relating to cookies; see Cookie Policy.
  

This data is used exclusively for technical, security, and service provision purposes.

The website hosting infrastructure and related email services are provided by Aruba S.p.A.

 

3.  OAD Questionnaire

Participation in OAD surveys is done through anonymous online questionnaires.

The questionnaires are designed to collect statistical and aggregate information on digital attacks and the security measures adopted by companies, institutions, and organizations operating in Italy.

The responses are processed exclusively for the purposes of study, research, statistical analysis, and drafting of OAD Reports.

 

4. Subscription to OAD Updates

In the last years, OAD has chosen not to require any form of visitor registration.

With the evolution of OAD from a simple annual survey to a collaborative ecosystem dedicated to digital security, it is now possible to voluntarily subscribe to OAD updates.

Subscription is optional and allows you to receive communications regarding:

• new editions of the OAD survey;
• publication of OAD Reports;
• OAD Community initiatives;
• events and activities related to digital security.

Subscription uses a double opt-in email confirmation procedure.

The data collected through the subscription form is processed exclusively for sending the updates requested by the interested party.

The technical management of the subscription service and email communications is entrusted to Brevo (Sendinblue).

The subscriber can withdraw consent and unsubscribe at any time using the appropriate link included in the communications received.

 

5. Processing of browsing data

 During normal browsing on the site, certain technical data essential for the functioning of web services may be collected (IP addresses, technical logs, connection information, and similar data).

 

6. Links to External Sites

The site may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., LinkedIn, AICA, FIDAInform, partners, and sponsors).

These sites operate independently and are governed by their respective privacy policies.

 

 

7. Updating the Policy

This policy may be updated from time to time based on the website's evolution and applicable legislation.

 

 

Cookie Policy

 

1. The oadweb.it Cookie Policy

The oadweb.it website uses exclusively technical cookies and similar tools, used for the proper functioning of the website and for aggregate and anonymous statistical purposes.
For these tools, current legislation does not require the user's prior consent, without prejudice to the obligation to provide the information.

 

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files, a sort of identification token, sent to the user by the website visited. They are stored on the user's computer's hard drive, thus allowing the website to recognize users and store certain information about them. This allows for the purposes of enabling or improving navigation and the services offered, tracking the user's visits on the website, and collecting statistics. In terms of privacy, and also of the new European GDPR regulation, proper management of a website's cookies is essential, as they can collect, without the user's knowledge or consent (the data subject's privacy concerns).

NB: A cookie is therefore not a program, and cannot and should not be confused with malicious code such as viruses, spyware, etc.

There are different types of cookies, classified by their duration, their function, and whether they are provided by the visited website or by third parties.

An initial classification of cookies, essential for privacy as described below, is based on who created and placed them on the website. Cookies are therefore divided into:

First-party cookies: set by the website visited and can be either technical, functional, or profiling;

Third-party cookies: set by a domain other than the one visited by the user.

Regarding their duration, cookies are distinguished between temporary cookies, also called session cookies, which are not stored permanently on the user's device and are deleted when the browser is closed, and persistent cookies, which remain in the memory of the user's device (PC, tablet, smartphone, etc.) until the expiration of a specific date or after a specified period of time.

Technical cookies are those used for the sole purpose of transmitting a communication over a communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide that service.
They are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the website owner and/or operator. Examples of technical cookies include:

• browsing or session cookies, which guarantee normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, a purchase or authentication to access restricted areas);
• analytics cookies, assimilated to technical cookies when used directly by the website operator to collect information, in aggregate form, on the user's number.

Profiling cookies, which collect information about the user's interests when visiting various parts of the website and its links to other sites, as well as when using web services, are NOT used on the oadweb.it website.

The oadweb.it website does NOT use or allow the use of advertising banners or third-party cookies, which, according to the GDPR, require the visitor's consent.

 

3. Cookie Management by the Site Visitor

The list of cookies used by the visitor's browser when browsing the various websites is visible and can be deleted from the browser itself. Each browser has different settings and procedures for managing cookies. To learn how to do so in the most popular browsers, for those unfamiliar with this, we suggest reading the explanatory note at https://www.wikihow.it/Visualizzare-i-Cookies. For an overview of the most common browser settings, we also recommend visiting www.cookiepedia.co.uk.

Please note that disabling some technical/functional cookies may limit your ability to use the site and prevent you from fully benefiting from its features and services.

 

4. Updating this Policy

This policy may be updated over time based on the site's developments and applicable legislation.
