2. Type of personal data processed.
Receipt and handling of whistleblowing reports may give rise to the processing of so-called "common" personal data (first name, surname, occupational role, etc.) and may give rise, depending on the content of the reports and the records and documents attached to them, to the processing of so-called "special" personal data (data relating to health conditions, sexual orientation or trade union membership and personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences).
It should be noted that the report should not contain facts that are not relevant to the report, nor special categories of personal data, as referred to in Art. 9 of the GDPR (hereinafter also " Special Data Categories," i.e., those from which racial and ethnic origin, philosophical and religious beliefs, party or trade union membership, as well as health status, sex life or sexual orientation, among others, may potentially be inferred), nor data relating to criminal convictions and offenses referred to in Art. 10 of the GDPR, except in cases where this is unavoidable and necessary for the purposes of the report itself.
In any case, the Company will take care to process only the data strictly necessary for the management of the individual report, deleting any additional data that may be provided to it, due to the principle of minimization.
The data that is subject to processing refers to the whistleblower and may also refer to persons named as possible perpetrators of violations, as well as those in various capacities involved or mentioned in the report.

4. Method of data processing.
The data provided at the time of reporting and the data contained in the reports will be processed in accordance with the principles of fairness, lawfulness, transparency and the protection of confidentiality and rights, both yours and those of all interested parties, in compliance with the confidentiality obligations imposed by privacy regulations and the law on whistleblowing.
The data processing will make use of IT and electronic tools designed for the organisation and processing of data strictly related to the purposes referred to above, and, in any event, in such a way as to ensure the security, integrity and confidentiality of the data in compliance with the organisational, physical and logical measures envisaged in the applicable provisions.
In particular, the Data Controller, in accordance with the provisions of the Whistleblowing Decree, is equipped with an IT platform as an internal reporting channel.
The IT platform protects personal data through an encryption system, thus ensuring the confidentiality of the information transmitted.
Printed documentation is limited to the bare minimum and archived and stored in cabinets and rooms equipped with security locks.
In any case, the personal data of data subjects will not be disseminated.
5. Persons in charge of Processing data
The personal data you provide and any subsequent data acquired in the course of the service will be processed exclusively by personnel authorized for this purpose or by data processors designated for this purpose.
These individuals are all formally designated/authorized for the data processing and are also required to maintain the confidentiality of any information learned as a result of their duties, without prejudice to the reporting and denunciation obligations set forth in Article 331 of the Criminal Code.
The Company uses DigitalPA, as its technology partner, which is entrusted with the management of the digital platform, designated for this purpose as the Data Processor pursuant to Article 28 GDPR.
Further information on the designated Persons, Data Processors, and System Administrators can be obtained from the Data Controller at the contact information above.
6. Communication of personal data to third parties.
Although personal data may not be disseminated, it may be transmitted to public administrations legitimated by law (e.g., Judicial Authority, Court of Auditors, ANAC-Italian National Anti-Corruption Authority, etc.), which are considered autonomous data controllers.
7. Transfers of personal data to third countries or international organizations - Automated processes
Your personal data is not transferred outside the European Union, nor is it processed in automated decision-making processes.
8. Data retention period.
The Company shall retain personal data in accordance with Article 14 of Legislative Decree No. 24/2023, i.e., for the time strictly necessary to investigate the report received and, in any case, for no longer than 5 years from the date of communication of the final outcome of the reporting procedure, unless legal proceedings deriving from the report itself should arise during the 5-year period. In the latter case, the data retention period will follow the course of said judicial proceedings.
Personal data that is manifestly unnecessary to the handling of a specific report is not collected or, if accidentally collected, is promptly deleted.
After the above retention periods have elapsed, the data will be destroyed, deleted, or anonymized, as consistent with the technical procedures for deletion and backup.
