For any request concerning the processing of personal data, users may contact the Data Controller using the contact details above.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how this Website handles the personal data of users who browse it and interact with the services offered, in particular through the contact form available on the Website.
This notice is provided pursuant to Art. 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the “GDPR”) to those who interact with the Website, accessible online at https://www.sirn.it/, and applies solely to this Website, not to any other websites that the user may visit via links provided on it.
2. Categories of data collected
2.1 Data voluntarily provided by the user via the contact form
The Website provides a contact form through which users may, on a voluntary basis, request information or get in touch with Sirn S.r.l. By filling in the form, the user provides the following personal data:
- First name
- Last name
- Phone number
- Email address
- Subject of the request
- Message text
- Company
- Field of interest (selectable between “Naval flooring” and “Agencies/representations”)
Providing this data is optional; however, failure to fill in the mandatory fields of the form makes it impossible to submit the request and, consequently, for the Controller to process it.
2.2 Browsing data collected automatically
During normal operation, the IT systems and software procedures used to run the Website acquire certain personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols (e.g. IP address, browser type, operating system, access provider, time of visit, pages requested). This data is used solely for anonymous statistical purposes and to verify the correct functioning of the Website, and is deleted immediately after processing, except where retention is required to establish liability in the event of computer crimes against the Website.
2.3 Cookies and tracking technologies
The Website uses technical cookies that are necessary for it to function. For complete information on the types, purposes and management of cookies, please refer to the dedicated Cookie Policy, which forms an integral part of this notice.
2.4 Data collected through Google Search Console
The Controller uses Google Search Console to monitor the Website’s performance in search engine results (e.g. search queries, ranking, indexing errors). This tool processes aggregated data relating to the Website’s performance on Google Search and does not install cookies on users’ devices, nor does it collect personal data identifying individual visitors of the Website.
3. Purposes and legal basis of the processing
The personal data collected is processed for the following purposes:
Purpose: Handling requests for information or contact submitted via the Website’s form and responding to them
Data processed: First name, last name, phone, email, subject, message, company, field of interest
Legal basis: Performance of pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject’s request / legitimate interest of the Controller in responding to requests received (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR)
Purpose: Establishing and managing business relationships with potential customers who have requested them
Data processed: First name, last name, phone, email, company, field of interest
Legal basis: Performance of pre-contractual measures / legitimate interest of the Controller (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR)
Purpose: Complying with obligations imposed by law, regulations, EU legislation or by orders of public authorities (e.g. tax, accounting)
Data processed: Data that may be necessary at the contractual stage
Legal basis: Compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR)
Purpose: Ensuring the proper technical functioning and IT security of the Website
Data processed: Browsing data, IP address
Legal basis: Legitimate interest of the Controller (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR)
Purpose: Establishing, exercising or defending a right in legal proceedings
Data processed: Data relevant to the dispute
Legal basis: Legitimate interest of the Controller (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR)
The Controller does not use the data collected through the contact form for direct marketing purposes, unless the user provides a specific and separate consent for that purpose, where applicable requested via a dedicated checkbox that is not pre-ticked.
4. Nature of the provision of data
Except as specified for browsing data, users are free to provide the personal data requested in the contact form. Failure to provide such data may make it impossible to obtain a response to the request submitted.
5. Processing methods and data retention
Processing is carried out using IT and/or electronic tools, with organisational and logical procedures strictly related to the purposes indicated, and in any case in such a way as to guarantee the logical and physical security of the data, as well as its confidentiality, integrity and availability.
Sirn S.r.l. has adopted technical and organisational measures appropriate to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, pursuant to Art. 32 GDPR, in order to prevent data loss, unlawful or improper use, and unauthorised access.
Retention period
Personal data collected through the contact form is retained for the time strictly necessary to handle the user’s request and, where a business relationship is established, for the duration of that relationship and, thereafter, for the period required by applicable tax and civil law concerning the retention of business records (typically 10 years from the termination of the relationship, subject to any different limitation periods that may apply).
Where a request does not lead to a business relationship, data collected via the contact form is retained for a maximum of 24 months from the last contact, unless the user requests earlier deletion or there is a legal obligation requiring longer retention.
Browsing data collected automatically is retained for the time strictly necessary for the IT security purposes indicated above, and in any event not beyond the period technically required, except where requested by competent authorities.
6. Parties who may process the data and recipients
Personal data collected through the Website may be processed by:
- Internal staff of Sirn S.r.l. authorised to process data (e.g. sales and administrative staff), duly trained and appointed as authorised processors pursuant to Art. 29 GDPR;
- Technical service providers acting as data processors pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, including: the provider of the Website’s hosting service (based on the WordPress platform); the provider of the Metform plugin, used to manage and forward the data submitted via the contact form to the company’s email inbox; any technical support and maintenance providers for the Website.
With all parties that process personal data on behalf of the Controller as data processors, Sirn S.r.l. has entered into, or will enter into, a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, governing obligations and responsibilities relating to data protection.
Personal data is not disclosed or disseminated to third parties for purposes other than those indicated above, nor is it transferred to third parties for marketing purposes without the data subject’s express consent.
7. Transfer of data outside the EU
The Controller does not routinely transfer personal data to countries outside the EU. Should it become necessary, for technical reasons related to the services used (e.g. cloud infrastructure of hosting providers or the form-management plugin), to transfer data to countries located outside the European Economic Area, such transfer will take place only towards countries for which the European Commission has recognised an adequate level of protection (Art. 45 GDPR), or on the basis of Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission (Art. 46 GDPR), or other appropriate safeguards provided for by applicable law.
Users may request information on the safeguards adopted by writing to trieste@sirn.it.
8. Rights of the data subject
As a data subject, users have the right, at any time, to exercise the rights provided for in Articles 15-22 of the GDPR, and in particular:
- Right of access (Art. 15): to obtain confirmation as to whether personal data concerning them is or is not being processed, and to access that data;

(the “Controller”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the website https://www.sirn.it/ (the “Website”), in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), Directive 2002/58/EC (the “ePrivacy Directive”) as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC, and the relevant guidance of the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) on the simplified procedures for providing information and obtaining consent for the use of cookies.

1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites send to and store on a user’s device (computer, tablet, smartphone), to be later retransmitted to the same websites on the user’s next visit. Thanks to cookies, a website can, for example, remember a user’s actions and preferences (such as login data, selected language, font size, other display settings) so that they do not have to be re-entered on a subsequent visit or when navigating from one page to another.
In addition to cookies in the strict sense, this policy also covers similar technologies (such as local storage, web beacons, tracking pixels, or fingerprinting) that allow information relating to a user’s browsing to be collected and stored.
Cookies can be classified according to various criteria:
- By duration:
- Session cookies: automatically deleted when the browser is closed;
- Persistent cookies: remain stored on the user’s device until their natural expiry or manual deletion by the user.
- By the party that sets them:
- First-party cookies: set directly by the operator of the Website;
- Third-party cookies: set by a domain other than the one being visited, managed by third parties.
- By purpose:
- Technical cookies: necessary for the Website to function correctly;
- Statistical/analytics cookies: used to collect information, whether aggregated or not, on the number of users and how they browse the Website;
- Functionality/preference cookies: used to enable specific features of the Website, ensuring a better browsing experience;
- Marketing/profiling cookies: used to build profiles relating to the user and display advertising messages in line with preferences expressed while browsing.
2. Cookies used by the Website
The Website uses only technical cookies necessary for it to function and, subject to the user’s consent, third-party content (interactive maps) which may involve the setting of non-technical cookies. The Website does not use statistical, analytics or marketing cookies for user profiling purposes.
2.1 Necessary technical cookies (always active)
These cookies are essential for the Website to function correctly and to allow browsing and use of its core features. They cannot be disabled through the consent management system, as doing so would compromise the provision of the requested service. They do not require user consent pursuant to Art. 122 of the Italian Privacy Code (Legislative Decree 196/2003, as amended by Legislative Decree 101/2018), corresponding to Art. 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive.

2.2 Third-party content subject to prior consent (Google Maps)
The Website embeds two interactive maps provided by the Google Maps service of Google LLC, to indicate the location of the company’s offices. To protect users’ privacy, the maps are not loaded automatically: the related content remains blocked (via a “click-to-load” mechanism) until the user takes a voluntary action by clicking on a dedicated preview/button to display the map.
Only following this explicit user action is the content loaded from Google’s servers, and cookies and other tracking technologies attributable to Google may be set, according to the purposes and methods described in Google’s own policies.
Service: Google Maps
Provider: Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC
Purpose: Display of interactive maps and geolocation of company offices
Duration: Variable, set by Google
More information: Google Privacy Policy
Even though this content is displayed only with the user’s prior consent, please note that, as this is a service provided by a third party established outside the EU (Google LLC, headquartered in the United States), Google acts as an independent data controller for the data collected through its own service, as set out in its own privacy notice, which we recommend reviewing.
3. Consent management: what happens in practice
On the first visit to the Website, the user is shown an information banner (the “Cookie Banner”) that:
- summarises the use of technical cookies and the presence of third-party content blocked by default (maps);
- allows the user to accept, reject, or customise their preferences before any non-technical element (e.g. Google Maps) is loaded;
- links to this Cookie Policy and to the Privacy Policy for complete information.
Until the user interacts with the banner and expresses a choice, no non-technical content is loaded: the maps remain replaced by a static preview/placeholder inviting the user to click to activate the display, and this interaction is equivalent to a one-off consent to load that specific third-party content.
4. How to manage or withdraw consent
Users may at any time change or withdraw their preferences regarding cookies and third-party content, through one of the following methods:
- Cookie preferences panel: by clicking the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer of the Website, accessible at any time while browsing, users can reopen the configuration panel and change their choices at any time, with immediate effect.
- Browser settings: users can also manage their cookie preferences directly through their browser settings and prevent, for example, third parties from setting cookies. Browser settings can also be used to delete cookies previously set, including the cookie used to store the consent given. Please note that fully disabling necessary technical cookies may make browsing this or other websites difficult. Below are links to instructions for the most common browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge
Please note that disabling necessary technical cookies alone may make some Website features unavailable or cause them to malfunction.
5. Data Controller and contact details
The Data Controller for data collected via first-party cookies is:
Sirn S.r.l. Via del Lazzaretto Vecchio 9, 34123 Trieste (TS), Italy VAT: 00050090323 Email: trieste@sirn.it Phone: +39 040 304247
For third-party content (Google Maps), the relevant data processing is governed by the privacy notices of the respective providers, referenced above.
For full information on the processing of personal data collected through the Website, please refer to the Privacy Policy.
6. Updates to this Cookie Policy
