QLT Law & Tax Associated Law and Tax Firm (hereinafter the “QLT Firm”) wishes to inform you that, pursuant to art. 13 of EU Regulation no. 679/2016 (the “Regulation”) needs to proceed with the processing of your personal data collected automatically or provided by you through the use of the website www.qltlex.com (the “Site”).

With this privacy policy, QLT intends to describe the purposes and methods of collection, use and disclosure of the personal data of users who access the Site. Therefore, this information is aimed exclusively at those who interact with the Site and does not concern other sites, pages or online services that can be reached via hyperlinks that may be present on the page.

The Site is managed by Studio QLT, as Data Controller, with headquarters in Via degli Scipioni 281, 00192 – Rome (Italy) (hereinafter, the “Data Controller”).

To allow you to use the Site and its services, including the possibility of contacting Studio QLT for specific requests or to receive information material on activities and events, as well as to send your curriculum vitae, the Data Controller requires to know and process some of your personal data.

 

Data provided voluntarily

Sending emails and filling out forms on the Site involve the acquisition of the relevant email address, as well as any additional personal data included in the email message or forms as well as the curriculum vitae, if attached, in order to process the requests received.

Those who send their CV are invited to pay the utmost attention to its content, avoiding including particular personal data, such as personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs or trade union membership, as well as data relating to health or sexual orientation.

Any detailed information on privacy could be provided – if necessary – on the pages of the Site dedicated to specific services.

During the normal operation of the Site, the IT systems and software procedures automatically acquire some personal data relating to users’ browsing such as, by way of example but not limited to, the IP addresses or domain names of the computers used, the time of the requests and other parameters relating to the user’s computing environment.

  • the fulfillment of legal obligations, including the communication of personal data to the judicial authorities.

The provision of your personal data for the purposes indicated therein is mandatory.

Your refusal to provide the requested personal data would make it impossible for Studio QLT to allow you to use the services of the Site, as well as to process the personal data contained in your curriculum vitae.

Personal data can be processed both through IT and paper means.

The Data Controller does not use automated decision-making processes.

 

Personal data retention period

As regards any other personal data, the Data Controller will comply with the principles of adequacy, relevance and minimization provided for by the Regulation and an annual check will be carried out to assess the need to retain them.

Once the purposes for which they were collected and processed have been achieved, your personal data will be removed from Studio QLT’s systems and records or made anonymous to prevent your identification.

However, QLT may be required to retain such data to comply with regulatory obligations or to defend its rights in court.

 

Categories of recipients

The processed data will not be disclosed to third parties.
