Types of data processed, purposes and legal basis for processing

Browsing data 

The computer systems and software procedures used to operate the Site acquire, in the course of their operation, certain personal data relating to web browsing, the transmission of which is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols. 

These data are used for the sole purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information on the use of the Site and to check its correct functioning. 

This information is not collected in order to be associated with identified data subjects, but by its very nature could, through its processing and association with data held by third parties, allow its users to be identified. 

This category of data includes the IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by the users who connect to the Site, the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) notation addresses 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 response, the numerical code indicating the status of the response given by the server (successful, error, etc.) and other parameters relating to the user’s operating system and computer environment.

The processing of user data is therefore necessary for the pursuit by the Controller of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6, para. 1(f) of the GDPR, related to the purposes of monitoring the proper functioning of the Site, the anonymous processing of statistical information on the use of the Site, as well as the establishment, exercise and judicial defence of rights. 

The data in question could also be used for the fulfilment of regulatory obligations, pursuant to Art. 6, para. 1(c) of the GDPR, connected with the management of the Site and in order to comply with requests made by the competent judicial authorities and the judicial police, to ascertain liability in the event of any computer offences committed to the detriment of the Site. 

Data communicated by the user

The optional, explicit and voluntary sending of messages to the contact addresses of the Ministry of the Interior indicated on the Site entails the acquisition of the sender’s contact data necessary to respond to the requests forwarded, as well as all personal data included in the communications, the processing of which is carried out to enable the Data Controller to provide a service to the user, pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1(b) of the GDPR. The Ministry of the Interior invites users, when making such requests, not to send any personal data that are not strictly necessary.
