The transfer will take place, in any case, only after
verification of compliance with the provisions contained in articles 44 and following of the GDPR and, in particular, through the stipulation of the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission.

Video surveillance

The Company, in compliance with the GDPR, with the National Data Protection Laws – in particular, the General Provisions on video surveillance of 8 April 2010, issued by the Authority for the Protection of Personal Data ("Guarantor") – and in Article 4 of Law no. 300/1970, through the use of a video surveillance system of the perimeter of the plant, including the appurtenances and external accesses, processes personal data made up of the moving image of the subjects passing in front of the camera's range of action. The use of the video surveillance system was the subject of a 4 specific agreement stipulated by the Company with the Trade Union Representatives. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the Company to safeguard and protect company assets and ensure workplace safety. The use of registrations by personnel specifically authorized by the Company is limited to cases of unauthorized access and is exclusively directed to the communication of the
registrations to the public authorities, if requested. The images are kept for a period not exceeding 7 days after they are recorded, after which they are eras ed by overwriting new images, except when specific needs arise for further conservation (related to holidays or office closures, to the acquisition of evidence in the event of theft or due to specific investigative requests by the Judicial Authority). The aforementioned registration period was established by attempting to reconcile the purposes of privacy protection with those pursued using the video surveillance system (considering, in particular, that small offences that can nevertheless be highly dangero
us in terms of potential damage to corporate assets may not be discovered within 24 hours after they are committed).

Rights

To exercise the rights provided for by applicable National Data Protection Laws and by the GDPR (Articles 15 et seq.), interested parties can contact the Company or the external managers in order to access their personal data, request the rectification, updating, cancellation or limitation of said data, as well as to request the portability of said data; the Company should be contacted using the contact details provided above.

Right to object

With the same procedures described above, interested parties may object, in whole or in part, to the processing of personal data concerning them, where the relevant legal basis is constituted by the legitimate  interests of the Company, pursuant to and for the purposes of the provisions of Article 21 of the GDPR.

Complaint

Any interested party who believes that the processing of data concerning him or her is in violation of the GDPR, in accordance with the provisions of Article 77 of the GDPR, may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority where the person usually lives or works or a supervisory authority where the alleged data breach has occurred.

Withdrawal of consent

The data processing referred to herein is not legally based on consent, therefore the withdrawal of consent has not been provided for.

Updates and revisions

The Company reserves the right to modify and/or update the Privacy Policy Statement, also taking into account any subsequent additions and/or amendments to national and/or European Union regulations  regarding the protection of personal data or consequent to any new purposes of data processing that may arise. For this reason, the Statement is published with a progressive identification number and the month of publication, starting with the May 2018 version, which bears the number "00". The new versions of the Statement will replace the previous ones and will be valid, effective and applied starting on the date of publication on the company website or from the date of disclosure to the interested parties.

Video surveillance Policy

(Version 01, October 2018)

Data Controller

The Company processes the data subject’s data, consisting of their images, under GDPR, National Laws on Data Protection, and the 8 April 2010 General Provision on Video Surveillance issued by the Guarantor Authority for the Protection of Personal Data ("Guarantor") and Article 4 of Law no. 300/1970

Authorised internal processors

The use of the footage by personnel authorised by the Company is limited to unauthorised access cases and is aimed exclusively at communicating the recordings to the public authorities if requested.

Data subjects and personal data processed

The Company uses the plant's perimeter video surveillance system, including the appurtenances and external accesses, to process and detect images of people passing in front of the cameras.

Processing purposes and legal basis

The processing is based on the Company’s legitimate interest to protect its assets and safety in the workplace. The use of the video surveillance system is covered by a specific agreement signed by the Company with the Trade Union Representatives and is limited to the plant’s external areas.

Data Retention period

The footage is kept for a maximum of seven days following recording. After that time it is self-deleted by overwriting, unless there is a specific requirement for longer storage (public holidays or closure of offices, evidence in the event of theft, or requests from the Judicial Authority, for less than seven days), and if it is necessary to comply with a request from the Judicial Authority or Police.

This registration period was established to reconcile privacy protection purposes with those pursued by the video surveillance system (considering that small offences which could be a damage to company assets, may not be discovered within 24 hours from the event).

Updates and revisions

The Company reserves the right to modify or update the Privacy Policy for any subsequent additions and amendments to the national and/or European Union regulations on the protection of personal data or for additional data processing purposes. The Policy is published with a progressive identification number and the month of publication, starting from the May 2018 version, which is identified with the number "00".
