Data Controller and Processors
The Data Controller is AM Microsystems s.r.l. C.da Montedoro 30, 62010 Urbisaglia (MC)

In addition to company employees, personal data processing may also be carried out by third parties, to whom the company entrusts certain activities (or parts thereof) connected with or instrumental to the processing operations or the provision of offered services. In such cases, these subjects will be appointed as Data Processors or persons in charge of processing.

Purpose of Processing
According to the needs expressed from time to time by users accessing various sections of the Site, below are the purposes of processing personal data, namely those provided directly by users by filling out online forms (see the subsequent section “Nature and Method of Personal Data Provision by Users”) or those automatically acquired (see the following section “Categories of Personal Data Subject to Processing”) (hereinafter, “Personal Data”):

1- allow registration on the Site, where necessary for accessing particular sections of the Site itself and for providing and managing any services offered;
2- subject to user consent and until its withdrawal, carry out marketing activities such as sending promotional and advertising material from the Controller, including via e-mail, MMS, and SMS;
3- in compliance with legal requirements and to personalize users’ experience on the Site and improve services and products offered by the Controller to its customers, subject to user consent and until its withdrawal, conduct analysis of browsing or consumption habits or choices and define the profile of interested parties using information provided by them at the time of registration, or when completing questionnaires or based on actions taken or information provided while browsing the Site;
4- respond to user requests regarding the Controller’s products, advertising, or general information (for example in the “Contact Us” section of the Site).
5- purposes connected with the establishment and execution of contact relationships and agreements stipulated between the user and the company.

Processing Methods
Processing will be carried out through automated tools (e.g., using electronic procedures and media) and/or manually (e.g., on paper) for the time strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which the data was collected and, in any case, in compliance with current regulatory provisions on the matter.

Nature and Method of Personal Data Provision by Users
The provision of personal data is optional, but for some personal data, provision is mandatory (i.e., necessary for those data whose fields are marked with an asterisk) so that the Controller can meet user needs within the Site’s functionalities. Failure to provide, partial or inaccurate provision of Personal Data marked with an asterisk, as necessary for the execution of the requested service, makes such execution impossible; while failure to provide, partial or inaccurate provision of optional Personal Data does not have any consequences.
Personal Data is provided by filling in the appropriate fields in various sections of the Site. If the user has omitted to provide one or more mandatory data, an error message will appear from the Controller with a list of missing mandatory Personal Data.

Categories of Personal Data Subject to Processing
In addition to Personal Data provided directly by users (such as name, surname, postal address, email address, telephone number, password, date of birth, etc.), during connection to the Site, the computer systems and software procedures used to operate the Site itself provide and/or automatically acquire certain information that could constitute personal data, whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols, such as, by way of example but not limited to, so-called “cookies” (as better specified below), “IP” addresses, domain names of computers used by users connecting to the Site, “Url” notation addresses of requested resources, the time of request to the server.

Minors
Minors under the age of 16 must not provide information or Personal Data without the consent of those exercising parental responsibility over them. The Controller invites all those who exercise parental responsibility over minors to inform them about the safe and responsible use of the Internet and the Web.

Use of Cookies
Cookies are text lines that act as computer markers sent by a server (in this case, that of this Site) to a user’s device (generally to the Internet browser) when they access a specific page of a website; cookies are automatically stored by the user’s browser and retransmitted to the server that generated them each time the user accesses the same Internet page. In this way, for example, cookies allow and/or facilitate access to certain Internet pages to improve user navigation, or allow the storage of visited pages and other specific information, such as pages consulted more frequently, connection errors, etc. Therefore, for facilitated and complete use of this Site, it would be appropriate for users to configure their browser to accept these cookies.
Browsers are often set to automatically accept cookies. However, users can modify the default configuration to disable or delete cookies (from time to time or once and for all), with the consequence, however, that optimal use of some areas of the Site may be precluded. Users can also verify the methods and types of cookies stored on their browser by modifying the cookie settings of their browser.
