## Processing of data

### _Browsing data_

The user (data subject) can access this website and navigate through a web browser. Some data are necessary for surfing the Internet and could identify users through processing and association with data held by third parties. In particular, we intend to refer to the IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by users connecting to this website, the addresses in URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) notation of the requested resources, the time of the request, etc. We could use these data uniquely for anonymous statistical information on the use of the website and check its correct functioning, which is deleted immediately after processing. We could use data for any responsibility in the hypothesis of computer crimes connected to this website. Data relating to those who have submitted requests to [**Hushline**] using the tools on this website are stored for no more than seven days, however, for the time necessary to provide the answers and for any need to ascertain part of the judicial authority.

### _Data communicated by users_

The optional, explicit, and voluntary sending of electronic mail to the [**Hushline**] addresses involves the acquisition of the sender's address necessary for the replies and any other personal data contained in the message. These data are processed to respond to messages sent and handle any related requests. Failure to provide personal data for communications with [**Hushline**] or send any requests will prevent evading them. We store data for the time strictly necessary for the purposes related to data processing.

### What are cookies?

Cookies (small text files that the visited website sends to your device, where they are then stored to be re-transmitted to the same website at the next visit) can be _permanent_ or _session_, "_First-party_" (site or domain of origin), or "_Third-party_" (from third parties). Persistent cookies consist of a text file sent from a web server to a web browser. Once stored by the browser, it remains valid until the scheduled expiration date (unless the visitor deletes it before the time mentioned above). Session cookies expire at the end of the session or when the user closes the web browser. "_First-party_" cookies are those set by this site; "_Third-party_" cookies are of a different domain than this one, and they are set up because they use functions managed by third parties. Our website uses the following cookies:

_Session cookies_ (not stored permanently on the user's computer and disappear when the browser is closed) and are strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (consisting of random numbers generated by the server) necessary to allow safe browsing and efficiency of the site. Session cookies used on this site avoid using other technologies that could compromise the privacy of users' browsing and do not allow the acquisition of personal data.

It is, however, possible for the user to set cookies from the "Preferences" of the browser used and eventually automatically refuse the receipt of cookies by activating the appropriate option: the non-use of technical cookies, however, could involve technical difficulties of interaction with this website.
