Types of data and aims of handling
Navigation data
During normal operations, the computer systems and the software procedures used for the website acquire items of personal data from users who connect to the site; the flow of such data is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols. These items of information are not collected in order in order to identify the people involved, but by their very nature they might make it possible to identify such users, through processing and association with data held by third parties. This category of data includes IP addresses or the dominion names of the computers used to access the website, the URI addresses (Uniform Resource Identifier) of the resources requested, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in reply, the numerical code showing the status of the reply given by the server (OK, error, etc) as well as other parameters relating to the operating system and the user's computer. These data are used only to obtain anonymous statistics on the use of the site, and to check that it is working properly. Such data might be used to investigate responsibility in cases of illegal computer operations which damage the site; except for this possibility, the current policy is not to retain web-contact data for more than seven days.
Details provided voluntarily by users
Sending emails to the addresses shown on this website leads to the acquisition of the sender's address, which is required for the reply, as well as any other items of personal information included in the message. Specific warning notices are shown or displayed on the website pages which are made available for requesting particular services.

Browser’s controls for monitoring protection.
A few new browsers have introduced the DNT function. A lot of these functions, whether activated, send a signal or a preference to the visited websites, requesting not to trace us. These websites ( or thirdy-parts contents on these pages) could continue to do activities that could be considered “tracing” even though we have espressed this preference, according to the aspects relating to the privacy of the sites. Given the current lack of a common understanding of the DNT signal, the website Ballabio Italia s.a.s. currently does not respond to the browser DNT or its services online.
