This page describes the methods by which SocialFare s.r.l., located at Via Maria Vittoria 38, 10123 Turin (Italy), acting as the agent of the ATI constituted together with Acube Società Benefit S.r.l., located at Via Andrea Maria Ampere n. 61/A, Milan (Italy), as the Data Controller, collects and processes – through the website https://personae-accelerator.com/ – the personal data of subjects interested in the startup acceleration program, called “Welfare” (hereinafter, the “Program“), dedicated to startups that develop new solutions or services for welfare related to individuals, communities, and companies.

The Data Controller will evaluate the applications of startups along with the related documentation sent by users (hereinafter “Applicants” and/or “Data Subjects”), through a specific online registration procedure, in order to examine the existence of the requirements and consequently select the participating startups. This evaluation process is carried out by qualified individuals expressly identified by the Data Controller for the selection of participating startups.
Our commitment to confidentiality, privacy, and protection of Applicants’ personal data is a key priority for us; therefore, personal data is processed with the utmost care and in accordance with applicable privacy and security regulations (EU General Data Protection Regulation 679/2016, hereinafter “GDPR” or “Regulation”; Legislative Decree 196/2003 and subsequent amendments).

 

WHAT DATA DO WE COLLECT AND PROCESS?

The data processing concerns the information that Applicants voluntarily decide to provide us with during an application, through a specific registration procedure, to the Program, either on their own behalf or on behalf of the startup they are shareholders or administrators of, for an evaluation and potential contact request.
Applicants are required to follow an online registration procedure on the “IDEA360” platform (hereinafter “Platform“), provided by Fondazione Italiana Accenture, to complete in advance to be able to submit the startup application to the Program. Upon registration, Applicants are invited to provide us with presentation documents related to innovative projects and/or products and certain identifying contact details (such as name, surname, job title, email address, and phone number) to best manage their needs and provide a direct response.
To protect your rights, we ask you to limit the information to what is strictly necessary for the completion of the above registration. Therefore, we invite you not to provide additional information, especially of a sensitive nature (art. 9 of the Regulation), which cannot be processed without explicit consent, nor to send files containing information exceeding what is necessary for the purposes envisaged and for managing the related requests.
All information related to the Program, once communicated, may be shared by the Data Controller with other entities identified for the enhancement of activities, within the limits and in respect of the purposes for which the data was acquired.

 

DATA GENERATED BY THE USE OF THE WEBSITE

The computer systems and software procedures used to operate this website acquire, during their normal operation, some personal data (so-called log files), the transmission of which is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols. This information is not collected to be associated with identified subjects, but by its very nature could, through processing and association with data held by third parties, allow users to be identified. This category of data includes IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by users who connect to the site, the addresses in URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) notation of the requested resources, 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 related to the user’s operating system and IT environment. These data are used solely to obtain anonymous statistical information on the use of the site and to check its correct functioning. The data could be used to ascertain responsibility in case of hypothetical crimes against the site or third parties and may be presented to the Judicial Authority if explicitly requested. The computer systems may, upon request to use certain site features, generate a file called a “cookie” that is automatically downloaded and stored in a folder on the visitor’s computer. From the control panel of the internet browser, you can disable the acceptance of this cookie, although this operation would prevent you from using the site’s offered functionalities. This file can be easily and independently deleted through a specific function in the browser menu. SocialFare cannot control this file and cannot use it to trace back to the visitor’s computer. If there are reserved areas on the website that allow access through registration and communication of personal data, please note that the computer systems acquire data related to the user’s activities and navigation on the site. These data are attributable to the user and include the date of registration on the site, the date of the last access, the total number of accesses, and the history of past purchases.

 

PURPOSE AND LEGAL BASIS OF DATA PROCESSING

Data processing is carried out based on the voluntary application to the Program by the Data Subject through a positive action (click on the dedicated button), aimed at participating and fulfilling the pre-contractual measures related to the Program itself. The provision of data is optional; however, the refusal to provide identifying data for this purpose will make it impossible for us to manage the request and access the requested service.

b) Promotional communications: Subject to the explicit and optional consent of the Data Subject expressed through a positive action within the form (checkbox), the Data Controller may process personal data for sending informational and promotional communications related to initiatives, services, and products offered, through automated and non-automated contact methods (e.g., email);

c) Communication to third parties for marketing purposes: Subject to the explicit consent of the Data Subject (checkbox) expressed through a positive action within the form (checkbox), personal data may be communicated to companies and/or commercial partners, including abroad, to send you promotional communications (contact center, promotions, sending informational/advertising material), both with automated methods (e.g., email, SMS, instant messaging applications, etc.) and non-automated methods (e.g., regular mail, operator phone call, etc.).

If the Data Subject does not wish to consent to the processing of personal data for these purposes (letters b) and c)), this will not prevent participation in the Program.
