Data controller

ARGO METAL S.r.l., Via Emilio Lorandi 16, 25080 Nuvolera (BS), Italy, tax code and VAT no. 03546810981, certified email (PEC) argo.metal@aziendapec.it. For any question about your data: info@argometal.it.

What data

When you visit the site. Cloudflare, the service that hosts the site, receives the technical data of the connection: IP address, browser type, pages requested, date and time. They are used to show you the pages, to protect the site from attacks, to count visits in aggregate form (Cloudflare Web Analytics, without cookies) and, together with the country you connect from, to open it in the right language. We do not use them to identify you: Cloudflare keeps them only as long as needed for these purposes, and we neither download nor store them.

With the quote form. The type of material, the approximate quantity, the photos, collection or delivery, the collection location, the notes, the name or company, the phone number and the email address. Only the type of material and one contact, phone or email, are required: everything else is optional.

Anti-spam check. On the quote page, Cloudflare Turnstile checks that the form is filled in by a person and not by an automated program. To do this, Cloudflare receives some technical data from the browser and the connection, such as the IP address and the browser type: they are used only for this check, which protects the form and the company's email (our legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Cloudflare also uses them on its own account, to improve the check itself, as explained in its Turnstile privacy notice.

Why we process them

To answer your request and prepare a quote: this is a step before a possible contract, taken at your request (Art. 6(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, “GDPR”). If the request becomes a business relationship, to keep the correspondence as required by law (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR). To run and protect the site, in our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Without a contact we cannot reply to you. The data are not used for anything else: no profiling and no automated decisions.

Contact details received with requests are not used for newsletters or promotions.

Quote requests

The site's program checks the request and sends it to the company through Aruba's email service; if you left your email address, you receive a confirmation with a summary. Until you close the browser tab, the summary also stays in its temporary memory, to show you the confirmation page.

The site does not store requests: they reach the company by email. If a request leads to a business relationship, the data are kept for 10 years together with the correspondence; if it does not, for 24 months from the last contact, after which they are deleted.

Who receives them

The people in the company who handle quotes and customer relations. And the providers who process the data on our behalf, only for their service: Cloudflare, Inc., which hosts and protects the site, and Aruba S.p.A., which runs the company's email. We do not sell the data or pass them on to anyone else.

Data outside the European Union

Cloudflare is based in the United States and has servers all over the world. It participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and applies the European Commission's standard contractual clauses in its contracts.
