Processing of personal data
TecnoAndroid UK pays particular attention to the protection of users’ privacy and the processing of personal data.
This notice describes how personal data of users visiting https://www.tecnoandroid.co.uk are collected and processed.
This notice is provided pursuant to Articles 13 and 14 of EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) and Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003, as amended by Legislative Decree 101/2018.
The notice is provided solely for the TecnoAndroid UK website and not for any external sites that may be reached through links on the site.
Important for UK readers: this policy reflects the original Italian legal basis and controller details. Additional UK-specific legal review (including UK GDPR / ICO expectations) is recommended before relying on it as a definitive UK policy.
Data collected during browsing
The IT systems and software procedures used to operate the site automatically acquire certain technical data during browsing, which may include IP address, browser type and operating system, provider domain name, date and time of the request, referrer page and pages visited, and size/status of the server response.
This information is used only in aggregated or anonymised form for statistical, security and proper site-operation purposes. Data may be used by competent authorities to ascertain liability in the event of computer crimes against the site.
Data voluntarily provided by the user
Optional and voluntary submission of personal data via email, contact forms or other site services results in acquisition of the data provided by the sender. Such data are used solely to respond to requests, provide information about services/collaborations/editorial initiatives, and manage applications or spontaneous communications.
Providing data is optional, but failure to provide it may make it impossible to deliver the requested services or correctly handle the request.
Purposes of processing
- to enable browsing and the correct technical operation of the site;
- to respond to requests voluntarily sent by the user via email or contact forms;
- to comply with legal, tax or administrative obligations or requests from competent authorities;
- to analyse, in aggregated or anonymised form, use of the site and improve content, performance and services;
- where consent is required, to manage profiling cookies, personalised advertising content or promotional communications.
Legal basis for processing
- performance of a user request or pre-contractual measures taken at the user’s request;
- compliance with legal obligations to which the controller is subject;
- the controller’s legitimate interest, limited to site security, abuse prevention, technical service management and analysis of correct platform operation;
- the data subject’s consent, where required — for example for profiling cookies, personalised advertising services or marketing activities.
