06Data processed on behalf of customers

Meter readings, master data and the data acquired from the portals for the platform's customers are customer data: when they contain personal data, for example of plants, meters or SIMs registered to natural persons or sole proprietorships, smart ways processes them as data processor (Art. 28 GDPR), under the supply contract. The controller is the customer, to whom requests concerning rights over this data should be addressed.

07Recipients and transfers

The data may be disclosed to:

  • hosting and email providers, based in the European Union, which process it on behalf of the controller;
  • Google, for the reCAPTCHA anti-bot service that protects the website's forms;
  • iubenda, for managing cookie consent;
  • the telephone operators that carry the calls to the modems, as independent controllers;
  • consultants and authorities, where required by law.

The data is not disseminated. It is transferred outside the European Economic Area only with the safeguards of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR, for example for Google's reCAPTCHA service.

08Rights

Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection to processing based on legitimate interest; withdrawal of consent at any time, where consent is required. These rights are exercised by writing to contatto@smartways.it. The right to lodge a complaint with the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali, the Italian data protection authority (www.garanteprivacy.it), remains.

No decisions are made based solely on automated processing. Changes to this notice are published on this page, with the date of the last update.
