Dear “DATA SUBJECT”,
European and national privacy regulations establish the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of their personal data, as well as the free movement of such data, as a fundamental right.
We therefore inform you of the following.
1) “DATA CONTROLLER”
The “RESTAURATEUR,” Meatin S.r.l., email info@meatin.it, is the sole “DATA CONTROLLER.”
PLATEFORM SRL, email amministrazione@plateform.app, hereinafter referred to as “SERVICE PROVIDER,” is the “DATA PROCESSOR” as it processes data in the interest and on behalf of the “RESTAURATEUR.”
The “SERVICE PROVIDER” has developed and owns the hardware and software that serve the operation of a booking and marketing platform for the restaurant industry.
The “SERVICE PROVIDER” is also the owner of the duly registered trademark "PLATEFORM"[1].
From here on, the term "PLATEFORM" will refer to the platform and its offered services.
The “RESTAURATEUR” is the sole “DATA CONTROLLER,” as the “SERVICE PROVIDER” only processes data in the interest and on behalf of the “RESTAURATEUR.”
The “RESTAURATEUR” is the “DATA PROCESSOR” only concerning the processing that it carries out directly.
The “SERVICE PROVIDER” has no interest in personal data, while the “RESTAURATEUR” does.
When the contractual relationship between the “SERVICE PROVIDER” and the “RESTAURATEUR” ends, the “SERVICE PROVIDER” retains only “ANONYMIZED” data that do not refer to any natural person (simple anonymized statistical data), while the “RESTAURATEUR” reserves the right to retain all data but must provide the “DATA SUBJECT” with a new privacy notice indicating that the “SERVICE PROVIDER” no longer plays any role.
The burden of providing a new privacy notice lies solely with the “RESTAURATEUR.” The “SERVICE PROVIDER” has no way of knowing whether the new privacy notice has been sent to the “DATA SUBJECT” and cannot be held responsible for the lack of such communication.
PROFILING[2]
"PLATEFORM" does not provide for any automated processing of personal data.
2) “DATA PROTECTION OFFICER”
In this case, the law does not require the appointment of a data protection officer.
3) METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION
a) Paper forms, at the “RESTAURATEUR.” The data subsequently flow into "PLATEFORM."
b) Wi-Fi access forms, through "PLATEFORM."
c) Online forms, via the “RESTAURATEUR’s” website or "PLATEFORM."
d) Table reservations / delivery orders, via "PLATEFORM," either directly or through links on the “RESTAURATEUR’s” web page, other platforms (e.g., Facebook), or apps installed on the “DATA SUBJECT’s” devices.
e) Other platforms: for instance, Reserve with Google or integrated POS management software.
