1. Data Controller
The Controller for the processing carried out through the Website is SCDA Products [Add Legal Entity Name if applicable], VAT No. [Insert SCDA Products VAT No. if applicable], with registered office at [Insert SCDA Products Registered Address].
The updated list of data processors and persons in charge of processing is kept at the registered office of the Controller.
2. Personal data subject to processing
Processing of personal data means any operation or set of operations carried out with or without the help of automated processes and applied to personal data or sets of personal data, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
We inform you that the personal data processed will consist of an identifier such as your name, email address, an identification number, location data, an online identifier and other data suitable to make you identifiable, depending on the type of services requested (hereinafter only “Personal Data”).
In particular, the Personal Data processed through the Website are as follows:
a. Navigation data
The computer systems and software procedures used to operate the Website acquire, during their normal operation, some Personal Data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols. This information is not collected in order to be associated with identified data subjects, but by its very nature could, by being processed and combined with data held by third parties, make it possible to identify Users. This category of data includes IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by Users who connect to the Website, 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 online environment. These data are used for the sole purpose of checking the correct functioning of the Website and identifying anomalies and/or abuse and are deleted immediately after processing. The data could be used to ascertain responsibility in the event of hypothetical computer crimes against the Website or third parties.
b. Data provided voluntarily by the data subject
The optional, express and voluntary sending of e-mails to the addresses indicated on the Website involves the subsequent acquisition of the Personal Data provided.
The inclusion of Personal Data to take advantage of the specific services offered by the Website (such as using a contact form, subscribing to a newsletter, requesting product information, or submitting an inquiry) involves the acquisition of the Personal Data provided. In this case, the User will be provided with specific information pursuant to Article 13 of the Regulation in relation to the individual purposes and, where necessary, specific consents requested.
c. Registration data
The Website may offer the possibility for certain categories of Users (e.g., Customers, Partners, Registered Users) to register and create their own personal account to access specific services or reserved areas.
With regard to the processing of Personal Data carried out as part of the registration service, please note that the Controller will only carry out the processing strictly necessary to provide the service, except for further processing on the basis of a suitable legal basis pursuant to Article 6 of the Regulation (e.g., your consent). The data collected by SCDA Products as part of the registration request are typically those necessary to provide the service and may include:
- Name and Surname
- E-mail address
- Company name (if applicable)
- Contact Address (Street, City, Postcode, Country)
- Phone number
- Username / Account Identifier
- Other information relevant to the specific service being registered for.
The provision of such data is optional; however, without such provision, SCDA Products may not be able to proceed with the creation of the account or provide the associated services. It should be noted that the data subject’s Personal Data, for purposes strictly related to the provision of the service, may be disclosed to third parties (as detailed in Section 5). If, in using our services, you provide SCDA Products with Personal Data of other third parties, you act as an autonomous controller, assuming all the obligations and responsibilities of the law. In this sense, you indemnify and keep SCDA Products harmless, to the widest extent possible, with respect to any dispute, claim, request for compensation for processing damages, etc. from third parties whose Personal Data have been processed through your use of the Services in violation of the applicable Personal Data protection regulations. In any case, if you provide or otherwise process Personal Data of third parties in the use of the service, you guarantee from now on – assuming all related responsibilities – that this particular processing hypothesis is based on a suitable legal basis in accordance with Article 6 of the Regulation legitimising the processing of the information in question.
Within its remit, SCDA Products will not publish or disseminate your Personal Data unless required for service provision or legally mandated.
3. Purpose of the processing
The Controller informs you that the data collected will be processed lawfully pursuant to Article 6 of the Regulation, and with your specific consent where necessary, exclusively for the following purposes:
a. allowing the provision of the Products and Services requested by you, including the subsequent and autonomous management of any control panel or user account you access through registration, including the collection, storage and processing of data for the purposes of establishing and subsequent operational, technical and administrative management of the relationship related to the provision of services and the provision of communications relating to the performance of the relationship established;
b. allowing the navigation and consultation of the Website;
c. responding to requests for assistance or information, which we receive by e-mail, telephone, or through forms (e.g., the “Contact Us” page) on our Website;
d. fulfilling legal, accounting and fiscal obligations;
e. sending you newsletters, advertising and informative material about SCDA Products, commercial information or surveys to improve the service (“customer satisfaction”) via e-mail or text message, and/or via telephone calls (with operator or automated) and/or through SCDA Products’ official pages on social networks, subject to your explicit consent where required.
4. Legal basis and mandatory or optional nature of the processing
The legal basis for the processing of Personal Data for the purposes referred to in section 3 letters a), b) and c) is Article 6, paragraph 1, letter b) of the Regulation ([processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract]). The provision of Personal Data for these purposes is optional but failure to do so would make it impossible to activate the services requested or respond to your requests.
The purpose referred to in section 3 letter d) represents a legitimate processing of Personal Data pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter c) of the Regulation ([processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject]). Once the Personal Data has been provided, the processing may indeed be necessary for compliance with legal obligations to which SCDA Products is subject.
The processing operations carried out for marketing purposes described in section 3 letter e) are based on your consent pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter a) of the Regulation ([the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes]). The provision of your Personal Data for these marketing purposes is entirely optional and does not affect the use of the core Services.
Should you wish to object to the processing of your data for marketing purposes, or withdraw your consent, you may do so at any time by sending a request to the following e-mail address: privacy@scdaproducts.com [or provide another contact method].
The provision of Personal Data by the User is always optional, but it is necessary regarding the data indicated as mandatory (e.g., marked with an asterisk *) in request forms, as failure to provide such data would make it impossible for the User to send requests and for SCDA Products to fulfil them.
5. Recipients of Personal Data
The Personal Data provided may be known and used by SCDA Products’ employees and/or independent contractors, duly authorised and instructed, in charge of managing the Website and the Users’ requests, for the sole purpose of carrying out the activities that represent the reason for which the data was collected.
The Personal Data of the Users may also be communicated to third parties in charge of lawful processing on behalf of the Controller, acting as External Data Processors (pursuant to Article 28 of the Regulation). These may include, for example:
providers of IT services (hosting, maintenance, database management, etc.) and other technical services necessary for the operation of the Website and provision of Services;
outsourcing service providers;
consultants or freelance professionals who assist SCDA Products in carrying out its business activities or providing services requested;
third parties involved in managing commercial and marketing initiatives (where consent has been given by the User).
Users, by way of simple request addressed to the Controller in the manner communicated in section 10, can obtain the updated list of any External Data Processors. Personal Data will not be disclosed to unspecified recipients.
6. Existence of an automated decision-making process
There is no automated decision-making process, including profiling (as defined in Article 22(1) and (4) of the Regulation), based on the Personal Data collected through this Website.
7. Personal Data Transfers
Users’ Personal Data are primarily processed within the European Economic Area (EEA). They will not be transferred to countries outside the European Union / European Economic Area, except in cases where:
a) the transfer is based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission;
b) appropriate safeguards are in place (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission);
c) the transfer is necessary for specific situations outlined in Article 49 of the Regulation (e.g., explicit consent, performance of a contract); or
d) the communication is required by law or is necessary for purposes provided for by law for which the consent of the data subject is not required.
Any such transfers will be carried out in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
8. Storage of Personal Data
Personal Data processed for the purposes set forth in section 3 letters a), b) and c) (service provision, navigation, requests) will be stored for the time strictly necessary to achieve those purposes and fulfil the contractual relationship. In any case, since the processing is carried out for the provision of services, SCDA Products will process Personal Data up to the time allowed by applicable law to protect its interests (e.g., related to statutory limitation periods).
Personal Data processed for the purposes set forth in section 3 letter d) (legal obligations) will be stored for the period required by the specific obligation or applicable law (e.g., accounting records).
For the marketing purposes set out in section 3 letter e), your Personal Data will be processed until you revoke your consent or object to the processing. In absence of revocation, data may be kept for a reasonable period consistent with the purpose (e.g., up to [specify duration, e.g., 24-60 months] from the last interaction or consent renewal, unless applicable regulations require otherwise).
Personal Data will be stored on secure servers located primarily within the European Economic Area.
To ensure that your Personal Data is always accurate and up to date, however relevant and complete, we suggest that you update the Personal Data entered in your account (if applicable) or notify us of any changes by contacting us at privacy@scdaproducts.com.
9. Rights of the data subject

b) The right to rectification (Article 16): To obtain the correction of inaccurate Personal Data or the completion of incomplete Personal Data.
c) The right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’) (Article 17): To obtain the erasure of Personal Data concerning you under certain conditions (e.g., data no longer necessary, consent withdrawn, unlawful processing).
d) The right to restriction of processing (Article 18): To obtain the restriction of processing under certain circumstances (e.g., accuracy contested, processing unlawful but erasure opposed).
e) The right to data portability (Article 20): To receive the Personal Data concerning you, which you provided to the Controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and have the right to transmit those data to another controller, where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means.
f) The right to object (Article 21): To object at any time to processing of Personal Data concerning you which is based on legitimate interests (Art 6(1)(f)) or public interest (Art 6(1)(e)), including profiling. You also have the absolute right to object to processing for direct marketing purposes.
g) The right to withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent), without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
h) The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Article 77), in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of Personal Data relating to you infringes the Regulation. You can find details for your national supervisory authority online.
Any rectification or erasure of your Personal Data or restriction of processing carried out at your request – unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort – will be communicated by SCDA Products to each of the recipients to whom your Personal Data may have been transmitted in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
The exercise of the above rights is generally free of charge and not subject to any formal constraint. SCDA Products may require you to verify your identity before taking further action following your request.

However, SCDA Products cannot guarantee its Users that the measures adopted for the security of the Website and the transmission of Personal Data and information limit or exclude all risk of unauthorised access or dispersion of Personal Data by devices belonging to the User.
