GDPR

This document provides an overview of the GDPR, outlining its regulatory context, scope of application, fundamental principles, data subject rights, and obligations related to the processing of personal data.

Ⅰ. Regulatory context and purposes

Since May 25, 2018, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 – GDPR is directly applicable in all European Union member states.

In Italy, the regulation is implemented through the Personal Data Protection Code, under the supervision of the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).

The main objectives of the GDPR include:

  • strengthening data subjects' control over their personal data;

  • ensuring transparency and security in data processing;

  • defining clear responsibilities and compliance obligations.

Ⅱ. Scope of application

The GDPR applies, among other things:

  • to entities established in the European Union, regardless of where data processing takes place;

  • to non-EU entities that offer goods or services to users located in Italy or other member states, or that monitor their online behavior, for example through Cookies or tracking technologies.

Processing carried out for exclusively personal or domestic purposes remains excluded.

Ⅲ. Fundamental principles of data processing

All processing of personal data must comply with the principles established by the GDPR, including:

  • lawfulness, fairness, and transparency, based on a valid legal basis;

  • purpose limitation, with data used only for specified and legitimate purposes;

  • data minimization, limiting collection to what is necessary;

  • accuracy, with data updated when appropriate;

  • storage limitation, avoiding periods longer than necessary;

  • integrity and confidentiality, through appropriate technical and organizational measures.

Ⅳ. Data subjects’ rights

Under the GDPR, data subjects can exercise, within the limits provided by law, the following rights:

  • right to information and access, to know processed data and obtain a copy;

  • right to rectification, in case of inaccurate or incomplete data;

  • right to erasure (right to be forgotten), when the conditions provided are met;

  • right to restriction of processing, in specific situations;

  • right to data portability, in a structured and readable format;

  • right to object, particularly to processing based on legitimate interests.

For individuals under 18 years of age, data processing requires the express consent of the holder of parental responsibility, where applicable.

Ⅴ. Obligations of data processors

Those who process personal data are required to comply with a series of obligations, including:

  • operating according to the documented instructions of the data controller;

  • adopting appropriate security measures, such as encryption, access controls, and system protection;

  • responding to data subject requests within the prescribed timeframes;

  • notifying personal data breaches to competent authorities and, if necessary, to data subjects;

  • maintaining records of processing activities;

  • conducting, when required, a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA);

  • designating and communicating a Data Protection Officer (DPO), where required.

Ⅵ. Data transfers to third countries

The transfer of personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) is permitted only in the presence of appropriate safeguards, such as:

  • an adequacy decision adopted by the European Commission; or

  • the adoption of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), possibly accompanied by supplementary security measures, such as encryption.

Ⅶ. Supervisory authority and penalties

In Italy, the Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) is responsible for:

  • conducting control and inspection activities;

  • limiting or suspending non-compliant processing;

  • applying administrative fines that can amount to up to 20 million euros or 4% of the global annual turnover, if higher.

The GDPR also allows for giving instructions regarding data processing after death; in the absence of instructions, such rights may be exercised by heirs according to applicable law.

Ⅷ. Relevance of GDPR

The application of the GDPR contributes to:

  • improving user protection and transparency;

  • strengthening compliant data management in digital services;
