The Data Controller is Packstyle S.r.l., with registered office in Via Fiorolle, 10/A, 36060 Romano d’Ezzelino (VI), VAT No. IT05241550283, Tax Code 05241550283, e-mail info@packstyle.com (hereinafter referred to as “Packstyle”, the “Data Controller” or the “Company”).
2. Types of Personal Data Processed
Registration is not required in order to access the Website. The Website, however, offers certain services for the use of which it is essential to provide the user’s data (e.g. to complete the purchases, to request information from the Company, etc.). Personal data may also be required in the event of contact by the Customer through other channels (e.g. by telephone, through participation in trade fairs and events, etc.).
Where necessary, the Company will obtain specific consent for the relevant use of the data.
Here is an indicative summary of the type of information that is, depending on the case, collected:
- Personal information: company name, first name, last name, address (billing and shipping), product sector, etc.;
- Contact data: head office, residential address, postcode, e-mail address, telephone number;
- Data on purchases made: products purchased, product sector, degree of satisfaction, etc.;
- Data relating to the user’s contacts with our Customer Service or Sales Department: requests for information, opinions, complaints, requests for quotations, etc.;
- Website connection and usage data: IP address, device/ID number, data relating to the
user’s Internet connection and service provider, the equipment the user uses to access the Website, the
user’s browsing history and other technical and usage details.
With reference to data on navigation within the Website collected through the use of tracking tools, see also paragraph 10 below concerning Analysis and profiling tools;
3. Optional provision of personal data
Some of the personal data requested on the Website, such as the user’s company name and e-mail address, may be marked as “mandatory” [e.g. indicated with an (*)] as they are necessary to access the services offered by the Company through the Website that the user wishes to use (e.g. creating an account in order to make purchases). Failure to provide the data marked as “mandatory” will result in the impossibility of providing the requested service (e.g. if the Customer does not provide shipping data, the Company will not be able to process purchases). Failure to provide data marked as “optional” will have no consequences.
The Customer is required to provide only personal data concerning him/her. If personal data of third parties are indicated, the customer must expressly declare and acknowledge that he/she has obtained the consent of third parties for the processing of the corresponding personal data by the Company, or other data controllers.
N.B. Some sections of the Website contain free-fill forms to allow Customers to personalise and/or provide more information on their requests: please do not enter personal data in these spaces that are not functional to the request and/or other data belonging to special categories (such as, for example, data relating to health), with the warning that if these are indicated they will be erased.
4. Purposes and legal basis of the processing
The specific purposes of data use are detailed in this paragraph.
(a) Using and improving the services offered by the Website
Personal data will be processed to ensure access to the main areas and functionalities of the Website (e.g. sending information requests, subscribing to the newsletter, registering an account, etc.).
- enable normal and efficient navigation and use of the Website, and
- improve its performance and operation.
The personal data that may be used are, for example, the URI-Uniform Resource Identifier addresses of the resources requested, 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 (successful, error, etc.) and other parameters relating to the user’s operating system and computer environment). These data are collected for the sole purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information on the use of the Website and to check its correct functioning, and are erased immediately after processing. The data may be used to ascertain liability in the event of possible computer crimes that harm the Website: excluding such cases, the data shall be erased once the time needed to provide the services indicated on the Website has passed.
The processing of data connected to the provision of the Website’s services and its operation does not require consent, as it is necessary for browsing the Website (and therefore for the performance of a contract with users as well as to properly fulfil the legal obligations to which the Company is subject - Article 6(1)(b) and (c) of the Regulation).
Similarly, the processing of data for analysis purposes to enable the improvement of the operation of the Website does not require consent, as it is necessary for the pursuit of the legitimate interest of the Company and users in the provision of a high-quality service (Article 6(1)(f) of the Regulation).
(b) Website registration and creation of a personal account
Personal data will be processed by the Company to:
- allow registration on the Website,
- proceed to create a personal account, and
- ensure access to areas and any facilities reserved for members (e.g. make purchases faster, check order history, etc.).
The e-mail address may also be used to:
- send any communications relating to the methods of using the Website’s functionalities (e.g. confirmation of registration, invitation to renew credentials, etc.).
Account information can be updated and changed independently at any time by logging into the user’s personal area or by contacting info@packstyle.com.
The processing of data in connection with the provision of services and the operation of the Website does not require consent as it is necessary for the performance of a contract between users and the Company (Art. 6(1)(b) of the Regulation).
(c) E-commerce
If the Customer makes a purchase on the Website, personal data will be processed to:
- complete the sales process and perform the existing contract between the parties (e.g. management and processing of payment, completion of the delivery and/or return process, etc.);
- fulfil the legal obligations (e.g. regarding taxation, accounting for invoicing, bookkeeping and accounting entries) inherent in the contract entered into;
- manage any services strictly related to the sale (e.g. requesting information on products, using customer service, sending order confirmation, etc.);
- protect the rights deriving from the contract entered into, also through agents, in or out of court;
- send, by e-mail, questionnaires regarding the customer’s experience and degree of satisfaction with the products purchased or services used (e.g. our customer service). The customer will always be free not to proceed with filling in the questionnaire. If a particularly negative experience has been reported, our Customer Service may contact the Customer by telephone (or by e-mail, if no reply is received) to gather further information on the inconvenience suffered and to take the necessary steps to remedy it.
The processing of the data for this purpose does not require consent as it is necessary for the performance of the sales contract entered into with the Customer (and related activities) and for the execution of pre-contractual measures taken at the Customer’s request, as well as for the proper fulfilment of the legal obligations to which the Company is subject (Art. 6, para. 1, lett. b) and c) of the Regulation) and - in the event of disputes - for the pursuit of the Company’s legitimate interest in the protection of its rights (Art. 6, para. 1, lett. f) of the Regulation).
(d) Request for information
When a request for information (e.g. on products, services, initiatives, etc.) is sent to the Company by means of (i) filling in the appropriate computer form, (ii) using the e-mail address info@packstyle.com, (iii) interactive chat with Customer Service, (iv) telephone contact at the dedicated numbers, (v) contact with the representatives of our Sales Department at trade fairs and events, the data will be processed to adequately handle the requests received and, where necessary, to re-contact the Customers concerned.
If the Customer’s contact is made by telephone, the conversation may be recorded to enable us to improve our Customer Service and make the intervention of our operators more effective. One can always object to the recording at the beginning of the call.
If the user contacts our Customer Service, we may send him or her questionnaires by e-mail regarding his/ her experience and satisfaction with the products he or she has purchased or the services he or she has used. The Customer will always be free not to proceed with filling in the questionnaire. If a particularly negative experience is reported, our Customer Service may contact the Customer by telephone (or by e-mail, if no reply is received) to gather further information on the inconvenience suffered and to take the necessary steps to remedy it.
The processing of data for this purpose does not require consent, as it is necessary for the execution of pre-contractual measures taken at the Customer’s request (Art. 6(1)(b) of the Regulation).
(e) Marketing
Sending commercial, promotional and advertising communications or relating to offers, benefits and promotions and participation in market research. This activity may be performed through the use of automated means (such as newsletters, e-mails, telephone contact without operator intervention, SMS, WhatsApp, instant messages, push notifications, posts, communications and posts on social networks, etc.) and non-automated means (such as paper mail and/or operator calls).
The processing of data for this purpose requires prior consent (Art. 6(1)(b) of the Regulation). It is understood that failure to provide consent will in no way affect the possibility of using the services offered by the Website and the Company.
Please note that any consent given may be revoked at any time (i) (as regards the Newsletter) by clicking on the appropriate link in all communications, (ii) by sending a communication to info@packstyle.com.
Please note that in the event of withdrawal of consent or objection to processing for the purpose of contact for advertising/promotional communications, the Customer will no longer be the recipient of any type of communication, by any means whatsoever.
Please also note that, in the event of purchase/use of the Company’s products and services, the e-mail address collected may also be used to send promotional communications relating to products and/or services similar to those already used, purchased and of interest to the Customer (so-called soft-spam). Pursuant to Section 130(4) of the Code, the sending of such promotional e-mails does not require consent. In any event, by writing to info@packstyle.com or contacting us at the contact details set out in paragraph 11 below or via the link provided in all communications, the user may at any time object to this processing and no longer receive such promotional communications.
(f) Telephone contact
Packstyle reserves the right to proceed with the first contact of potential customers for commercial purposes by telephone with operator, in full compliance with current legislation on the subject as per Legislative Decree 196/2003 Personal Data Protection Code (“Code”). To this end, Packstyle uses the numbers found in the paper or electronic directories available to the public referred to in Article 129 of the Code, after checking the Public Opt-out Registry referred to therein. If the Customer is not registered with the Registry, Packstyle does not need his or her consent to contact him/her. It will always be possible to object to the processing.
For more information on the Public Opt-out Registry and how to register, please visit www.registrodelleopposizioni.it
5. Processing procedures
Personal data are processed by storing them on electronic media, in compliance with current legislation and, in any case, in such a way as to guarantee the security and confidentiality of the data and prevent their unauthorised disclosure or use, alteration or destruction. All information collected is transmitted in a secure connection so that it cannot be intercepted by outsiders.
In the case of purchases, the Company may contact the Customer for the purpose of order management, update him/her (e.g. on logistical aspects) and manage any necessary action. The content of the purchase agreement is archived by Packstyle and can be requested together with a copy of the terms and conditions of sale by means of a communication to be sent to the contacts listed in section 11. Details of the most recent orders are available in the personal area if the user is registered.
Any reviews of our products and services that the Customer chooses to submit by filling in the questionnaires submitted to his/her attention may be published anonymously on the Website.
In the case of sending commercial communications, this may take place in a fully automated manner thanks to the use of marketing automation software; however, this processing does not produce any effect of a legal nature vis-à-vis the Customer, nor does it affect his or her person in any significant way.
6. Recipients of personal data
