1. TYPES OF DATA PROCESSED

The Company collects exclusively personal data specifically and voluntarily provided by the user at the time of registration or downloading of the Application. The provision of personal data is mandatory, and failure to provide the data will result in the inability to use the service. When the user accesses the Application, the Company will process the following data:

Identifying information (name, email, phone number);

User codes and passwords;

Geolocation data.

2. TYPES OF COLLECTED DATA – NAVIGATION DATA

The computer systems and software procedures used to operate the services acquire, during their normal operation, some personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols (e.g., IP addresses of the devices used by the user, the time of the request, and other parameters relating to the user’s operating system). Such information is not collected to be associated with identified individuals but, by its nature, could allow the identification of users through processing and association with data held by third parties. These data are used solely for the purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information about the use of the Application and to ensure its proper functioning, and they are deleted immediately after processing. These data may be used to ascertain responsibility in case of any computer crimes against the Company or its affiliates.

3. TYPES OF COLLECTED DATA – BANKING AND SENSITIVE DATA

In the event that the application is used for services that require online payment, the banking transaction and payment-related data will be managed exclusively by the operator of said services. In addition to user identification data, the Company will also collect timestamps related to product management. If Alia-Cloud supports third-party products, it may provide these listed data to them. The Company will not process sensitive data, understood as personal data capable of revealing the user’s ethnic origin, religious, philosophical, or other beliefs, political opinions, membership of parties, trade unions, associations, or organizations of a religious, philosophical, political, or trade union nature, as well as personal data capable of revealing the user’s health and sex life. Users are advised not to transmit sensitive data to the Company.

4. METHODS AND PURPOSES OF DATA PROCESSING

Alia-Cloud will process Users’ personal data exclusively for the purposes related to the provision of the service. The Company will not use the data for marketing purposes or sending commercial communications to Users. Personal data is processed using automated electronic tools for the time strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which they were collected. Specific security measures are observed to prevent data loss, unlawful or incorrect use, and unauthorized access. The technology used by the Company is based on high-security standards, such as:

128-bit AES cryptographic system, through which every message is encrypted;

the 128-bit private key is never transmitted in plain text;

communication between the client and server is protected;

data transmission and the connection between the Alia-Cloud hardware device and the Application occur via a Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy interface;

Bluetooth connection is without pairing;

the encrypted transmission phase is preceded by an authentication phase where it is verified that both the “Alia-Cloud” device and the smartphone are capable of encrypting a secret code in the same way, with both having the same private key;

all messages are encoded in XOR with the generated CODx codes that are unique to each individual message sent.

5. LEGAL BASIS

The processing of personal data provided by the User will take place exclusively for the following purposes:

fulfillment of contractual obligations;

management of the services and features of the Application.

6. COMMUNICATION AND DISCLOSURE OF DATA

The User’s personal data will be accessible to internal and external personnel in charge of processing in relation to the above-mentioned purposes. Personal data provided by Users may be disclosed to the Company’s suppliers or other intermediaries supporting the Company for the operation and provision of services (e.g., distributors, wholesalers, installers, or other service providers or partners of the Company) exclusively for the specific purposes related to the provision of said services. The data will not be transferred to further third parties and will only be communicated in the presence of an order from the competent judicial or administrative authority. With regard to the data processing carried out by Apple, Inc. and Google, Inc. as managers of the App Store and Play Store platforms, it is advisable to review their respective data processing policies.
