Rivacase privacy policy

The RIVACASE website is designed in a way so as to deliver the maximum purposeful information to its visitors and potential consumers of the brand, without any danger of them being subjected to ineligible or unwanted personal data collection.

This privacy policy has been compiled in accordance with the new European data privacy law (GDPR) to better serve those who are concerned with how their 'Personally identifiable information' (PII) is being used online. PII is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context.

Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.

By visiting our Website you are agreeing and consenting to the practices described in this privacy policy. If you do not agree to all of this privacy policy and do not wish to be bound by it, you are not authorized to access or otherwise use the Websites, or take part in any of the programmes and offers that we provide.

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT FROM THE PEOPLE THAT VISIT OUR WEBSITE?

We stand that the site should be a source of useful tips for busy and traveling people, who prefer to contact a light-version, capacious and user friendly internet information database, so even the feedback section of the website is reduced only to our contact details including the company’s location, telephone and e-mail address and doesn’t contain any feedback form. This means that in no way you would face a possibility of an automatic collection of your identifiable personal information or a necessity of submitting it online.

For security and technical reasons, the operator automatically processes information communicated to us via your browser in your system protocols. In particular, this means:

  • IP address (personal if applicable)
  • Name of the file retrieved
  • Date and time of the file retrieval
  • Volume of data transferred
  • Report as to whether retrieval was successful
  • Report as to why a retrieval failed
  • The name of your Internet Service Provider
  • Browser information (e.g. browser type, screen resolution)
  • Operating system
  • Website from which you visited our website.

We may also process or transfer your personal information outside the EU (and possibly to places outside the European Economic Area, which is all EU member states). RIVACASE shall take reasonable steps to ensure that any transfer of your personal information to a country or territory outside the European Economic Area, whose laws may provide for a lesser standard of protection for your personal information than that provided under European law, shall have adequate protection (such as model contractual arrangements as approved by the EU).

The Website and our servers, wherever they are based, have appropriate technical and organizational measures in place to protect against unauthorized or unlawful use of your personal information as well as the accidental loss, destruction or damage of your personal information whilst under our control.

DO WE USE 'COOKIES'?

Yes, we do. The RIVACASE website operates the system of cookies, which means that:

  • Your computer exchanges temporary data with the site under the regime of session cookies; this ensures correct and comfortable browsing of the site for your needs and our system supervision and statistics purposes; session cookies are eventually erased for good from your computer once the session on this site is completed;
  • Your computer receives a permanent ‘residential’ cookie mini-text which enables you to approach to our site next time in a cozier and more personalized style; it also helps us to collect important statistics of site visiting and areas of interest of our potential clientele without scrutinizing who you are;
  • The cookie condition is in no way a method of obtaining access to your personal data and requests only the IP address of your digital personal gadget, no more;
  • You may turn down the installation of a cookie to your PC or a personal gadget by introducing modifications to the specific configuration of your browser. The procedure of cookie switch-off depends on the technical protocols of the browser you operate, so feel free to explore their privacy policy rules and configuration options.

Since 26th May 2012, All websites across the EU are now required to ask your permission to place cookies on your machine (E-Privacy Directive 2009/136/EC).

The EU Cookie Directive is designed to increase consumer protection. It recognizes the importance and usefulness of cookies for the functioning of a web site but requires websites to obtain informed consent from visitors before they store information on a computer or any web connected device.

WHAT SOCIAL PLUG-INS DO WE USE?

  • Facebook

Our website uses social plug-ins ('plug-ins') from the social network facebook.com which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ('Facebook'). These plug-ins are recognizable by the Facebook logo (white 'F' on a blue tile or a 'thumbs up') or with the 'Facebook Social Plug-in' affix.

When you open up our website which contains such a plug-in, your browser forms a direct connection with the Facebook servers. Facebook transmits the content of the plug-in directly to your browser which then embeds it in the website. We therefore have no influence over the amount of data which Facebook collects using this plug-in and advise you to keep in mind the following:
By embedding the plug-ins, Facebook receives the information that you have opened the specific page of our website. If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook may correlate your visit with your Facebook account. If you interact with the plug-ins, for example by pressing the Like button or making a comment, the relevant information will be transmitted from your browser directly to Facebook and saved there. If you are not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook may detect and save your IP address.

For details of the purpose and scope of data collected and its further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as our associated rights and settings options to protect your privacy, please see the Facebook data protection statements.

If you are a member of Facebook and do not want Facebook to collect details about you via our websites and link them to your membership details saved on Facebook, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.

It is also possible to block Facebook social plug-ins with add-ons for your browser, for example using the 'Facebook Blocker'.

  • Google +1

You can use the Google +1 button to publish information worldwide. Via the Google +1 button, you and other users receive personalized content from Google and our partners. Google saves both information that you have provided for +1 content as well as information via the site that you viewed by clicking on +1. Your +1 may be inserted as tips with your profile name and your photo in Google services such as search results or in your Google profile, or on other places on websites and advertisement on the internet.

Google records information via your +1 activities in order to improve Google services for you and other users. To use the Google +1 button, you need a globally visible public Google profile which must contain the name selected for the profile as a minimum. This name is used for all Google services. In some cases, this name may also replace another name which you have used when sharing content via your Google account. The identity of your Google profile may be displayed to users who know your e-mail address or who have other information from you buy which they can identify you. In addition to the purposes explained above, information you provide may be used in accordance with the applicable Google data protection provisions. Google may publish consolidated statistics regarding users' +1 activities or pass these on to users and partner such as publishers, advertisers or associated websites.

  • Twitter

Twitter service functions are embedded in our web pages. These functions are provided by Twitter Inc., Twitter, Inc. 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. If you use Twitter and the 're-tweet' function, websites you have visited will be linked to your Twitter account and can be viewed by other users. This means that data is also transferred to Twitter.

Note that as the site provider, we are not aware of the content of the data transferred or how it is used by Twitter. Further information can be found in the Twitter data protection statement at http://twitter.com/privacy.
