  • ­­­­­­­when you use the features of the site, such as signing up for the Various Voices 2023 event.


5. What kind of data do you process? For what purposes and on what legal basis? 

When you browse or use the services on the Aulos APS website, the following types of data may be processed: 

a) Navigation data 

Some personal data whose transmission is implicit in the navigation on this website are acquired by the computer systems that allow its proper functioning, including but not limited to data traffic and concerning the location, weblog and other data regarding the resources you access through your device. Although this information is not collected to be associated with identified data subjects, it could allow users to be identified – by its very nature and through processing and association with data held by third parties. For example, navigation data include IP addresses or domain names of computers used by users who connect to the Site, the 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 reply, the numerical code indicating the status of the response given by the server and other parameters relating to the operating system and browser used. 

  • Purpose of the processing: allow you to browse the website safely and correctly;
  • Legal basis for the processing: the legitimate interest of Aulos APS in the proper functioning of the site and the safety of navigation, regularly balanced with the rights of the person concerned (art. 6, paragraph 1, lett. f, GDPR).

b) Data voluntarily provided by the user (Request for information through the indicated addresses) 

You can contact us at the addresses indicated on the site, as well as through the mailto links incorporated on the site, to request information or assistance; this involves the acquisition of the data required to identify the request (your e-mail address and the information you decide to include in the text of the message) and authorizes us to send you any reply communications using the contact details you provided at the time of the request.

  • Purpose of processing: ensure adequate support in relation to your needs and to respond to your requests;
  • Legal basis for the processing: the provision of the service you have requested (art. 6, paragraph 1, lett. b, GDPR).

c) Data voluntarily provided by the user for registration to the Various Voices 2023 event
Through the website it is possible to register individually, as a Delegate, to the Various Voices 2023 event. For this purpose, you will have to follow the procedure therein, by entering your personal data. The requested data will concern personal information (for exemple your name, surname, address, city and country of residence, e-mail address), information instrumental to your participation (such as if you are a singer, conductor, musician and the registration code to the reference Choir), or information necessary for payment.

Furthermore, if the Delegate is registered as “singer/conductor/musician”, his/her data (such as name, surname, country and e-mail address) will be communicated to the respective Choir in a secure and encrypted manner, via the Choir’s personal page on the https://various-voices.it website, in order to verify the Choir’s organization and the accuracy of the given information, and to point out any possible need for rectification. You may receive communications referring to this service, confirming the preregistration to the event and providing you with the event code and the link for the download of the card required for the participation to the event. Aulos APS may thereafter send communications which are instrumental to the user’s participation to the Event, concerning, for example, how the Event and the shows will be held, the features of the services included in the registration fee, any possible change in the execution of the event, and so on.

  • Legal basis for the processing: the provision of the service you have requested (art. 6, paragraph 1, lett. b, GDPR).

d) Data falling within the special categories of data referred to in article 9 GDPR, voluntarily provided by the user for registration to the Various Voices 2023 event

Users who wish to register to the Various Voices event, are asked to communicate to the Data Controller any special need that Aulos APS must take into account for the organization of the event, which may also involve the processing of data falling within the special categories referred to in article 9 GDPR (such as data concerning health). For example, the Data Controller needs to be aware of the disabilities or food intolerances of the members of the Choirs, in order to organize the performances and the buffet according to everybody’s needs. Unless the User has provided his/her explicit consent, this information will be communicated via the reference Choir anonymously: the provided data will not be used by the Data Controller to identify an individual, but only, if necessary, the reference Choir.

The provision of such information is not required for the registration, but its denial could compromise the full and proper participation of the Users to one or more events.

  • Purpose of processing: allow your regular participation, as a Choir member, to Various Voices 2023 and the related shows and events;
  • Legal basis for the processing:
    - when the data is anonymously provided by the Choir, the provision of a requested service and the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party (article 6, par. 1, lett. B GDPR)
    - when the data is provided by the User, the indication of the data subject's consent (article 4, par.11 and art. 9, par.2, lett. e) GDPR

e) Cookies

What are cookies? A cookie is a small text file that stores brief information about your browsing on a particular website and is installed on your device when you log in. Each cookie contains various data (e.g., the name of the server it comes from, a numeric identifier, etc.), and it may remain on your system for the duration of a session (until you close your browser) or for long periods, and may contain a unique identifier.

When you visit the site again, they will be redirected to the site that generated them (first-party cookies) or to those provided by third parties able to recognize them (third-party cookies).

 

What are they for? Aulos APS would like to reassure you about the security of the cookies on its website: they do not damage your device in any way, but they will allow you to navigate faster, giving you a better experience. Cookies are used for different purposes depending on their nature.

 

What type of cookie is present?

 

Technical and functional cookies (which do NOT require your consent).

These cookies are necessary for the functioning of the site and allow you to access its functions (so-called navigation cookies) or to authenticate the session.

There is also the use of functional cookies, which allow you to store your preferences and settings, thereby improving your browsing experience on the site.

To ensure their functionality, these cookies are not deleted when you close the browser. However, they have a fixed duration (usually up to a maximum of 2 years) and after this period they are automatically deactivated. These cookies and the data they collect will in no way be used for any further purposes.

The installation of technical cookies occurs automatically after accessing the site or to activate certain features (e.g. by selecting the "remember me" option). At any time you can decide to disable them by changing the settings of your browser: but in this case you may experience some problems in viewing the site.

To have a complete and detailed overview of the cookies on the website, please read our Cookie Policy.

  • Purposes of the processing: ensure the proper functioning and security of the site;
  • Legal basis for the processing: exception to the need for user consent, allowed by art. 122 of Legislative Decree 196 of 2003 (art. 6, paragraph 1, lett. c, GDPR).

Your personal data may also be used in order to:

a) comply with legal obligations and requests from public or governmental authorities;

b) manage any disputes or litigation and therefore defend the rights of Aulos APS both in and out of court.

In such cases, the legal bases of the treatment will be:

for point a), the fulfillment of a legal obligation (art. 6, paragraph 1, letter c, GDPR);
for point b), the legitimate interest of the Data Controller in the protection of its rights, provided that it is adequately balanced, from time to time, with the rights of the data subject (art. 6, paragraph 1, lett. f, GDPR).
 
7. How will you process my data?

Your personal data will also be processed with the aid of electronic means for the time strictly necessary to achieve the purposes intended at the time of their collection. 

Aulos APS will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent loss, illegal or incorrect use of data, as well as to prevent possible unauthorized access by third parties. Therefore, Aulos APS will protect the security of your personal data, limiting the number of persons who will be allowed access to servers or databases and providing protection systems to limit the risk of cyber attacks.


8. Are my data processed outside Europe?

The data processed by Aulos APS reside in servers located within the European territory. However, some providers of cookie services may be based in non-European countries. In these cases, the processed data will usually reside in servers located in the European territory, but in some cases there may be a communication of some data to the headquarters of the provider. In these cases, personal data will still be processed in compliance with European legislation. The transfer of data, in particular, will only take place in compliance with the provisions of Articles 45 et seq. of the GDPR. Therefore, all necessary precautions will be taken in order to ensure the most complete protection of personal data basing such transfer: a) on adequacy decisions of the third country recipients expressed by the European Commission; b) on adequate guarantees expressed by the third party recipient pursuant to art. 46 of the Regulation; c) on the adoption of corporate binding rules. These requirements are always guaranteed by Aulos APS service providers.


9. How long will you keep my data?

Aulos APS will process your personal data for the reasonably necessary time to achieve only the purposes listed above, which can be found in the Sections “What data do you process? For what purposes and on what legal basis?” and “For what further purposes may you use my data?“.
