This Privacy Policy describes the purposes and modalities through which Shi.E.L.D. Services Srl, in its quality as Data Controller (“ShiELD Services” or “Company”), collects and processes personal data relating to the user (“User“) who interacts with the website www.shieldserviceslogistics.com (“Site“) and the various web services offered by it. This Privacy Policy is provided to Users pursuant to and in compliance with Article 13 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation no. 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 (“GDPR”) and with the Provisions issued by the Data Protection Authority, as well as with the applicable European legislation.
This Privacy Policy refers only to the Site and the processing of personal data carried out by ShiELD Services, without any extension to the data processing operations carried out by other websites visited by the User by links, in relation to which the Company does not take on any responsibility.
1. Data Controller
The Data Controller is ShiELD Services Srl, based in Milan (20128), Via Rovereto, 10.
Email address: info@shieldservices.it
2. Modalities of data processing
Personal data are processed mainly with electronic, computerized and automated means, for the period of time which is strictly necessary to seek the purposes for which it was collected.
ShiELD Services processes personal data in compliance with the law, adopting adequate security measures able to prevent non-authorized accesses, dissemination, non-authorized alteration or destruction of the data.
3. Purposes of data processing
Users’ personal data will be processed by ShiELD Services exclusively for the following purposes:
a. Response to communications or requests received from the Users. The User may send to ShiELD Services and its subsidiaries any communications or requests (e.g. in relation to services and products of the Company). In this regard, the User’s personal data, such as first and last name, email and other personal data voluntarily provided in the communications will be processed by the Company to take charge, manage correctly and respond to the User’s request or communication. The legal basis of processing is the legitimate interest of ShiELD Services in pursuing its business activities in order to comply with Users’ requests. This legitimate interest has been duly balanced against the reasonable expectations of the data subjects and, since it does not affect the rights of the data subjects concerned and the processing of the data is carried out at the request of the User, it has been deemed to prevail. The refusal to provide the same data will cause the impossibility to obtain the service requested.
b. Collection of online job application. By completing the relevant form in the section “Work with us” of the Site with personal data concerning him/her, such as first and last name, email address, preferred job position, alternative job position (optional), preferred place of work, alternative place of work (optional), message (optional), curriculum vitae, the User may send application for working in ShiELD Services. In this regard, the Company invites the User to insert in his/her CV only sensitive data strictly necessary for the purpose of selection and evaluation of CVs (e.g. minority group membership). The legal basis of the processing, in this case, is the legitimate interest of ShiELD Services in taking over and handling of the job application sent by the User as well as its evaluation and any refusal to provide personal data will cause the impossibility to proceed with the processing of the job application.
c. Legitimate interests pursued by the Company and/or by third parties. User’s personal data may also be used for the exercise of the rights and legitimate interests of ShiELD Services and/or third parties, for example the right to take legal proceedings for enforcing its rights, the handling of complaints and litigation, the recovery of debts, the prevention of fraud and/or illegal activities. In these cases, even if the provision of User’s personal data is not mandatory, it is however necessary as such data are strictly connected and instrumental to the pursuit of such legitimate interests, deserving of protection and not prevailing over the User’s rights and freedoms, and any refusal to provide them will cause the impossibility to provide the requested services (e.g. contacting the Company or sending online job application).
d. Fulfilment of legal obligations and/or applicable provisions. ShiELD Services may also process personal data provided by the User or otherwise collected during the interaction of the latter with the Site, for the fulfilment of legal obligations, regulations, national and European regulations as well as any order given by competent authorities, which represent the legal basis of processing, therefore the prior consent of the User is not necessary.
