New Humanity recognizes the importance of the law regarding the processing of personal data of its own members and of whoever uses it, being aware that the right of processing of personal data is a fundamental personal right.

In this context, which includes a convinced acceptance of the high standard of Social Responsibility, New Humanity intends to outline in a transparent way the aim and means by which the processing of personal data will be carried out, showing also that it is prepared to collaborate with its own Members and with the Users of Cityfest’s internet site (www.glocalcity.org), on how to concretize, where requested, the useful or necessary actions to correct or delete personal data which should so be processed by New Humanity according to the prevailing laws and the specific interests of those concerned.

Therefore, the following information is being supplied, to be considered as provided with the aim of making available what is to be found in art. 13 of the Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003 (the “Code for the protection of personal data”). This information is being made available, not only in obedience to that Code, but also in conformity with Recommendation 2/2001 regarding the minimum requirements for the gathering of online data in the European Union issued by the Working Group ex art. 29 of the Dir. 96/46/CE.

1.2. internet site of Cityfest (www.glocalcity.org)


Regarding this information it should be made clear at the beginning that all references to Cityfest’s internet site should be considered as carried out with reference to the following site: www.glocalcity.org, noting that every other site either textually referred to or to which one or more hyper textual or other form of link is made, does not belong to New Humanity, unless this is expressly indicated, and, therefore, is not to be connected with the instrument of processing of personal data under the title of New Humanity.

2. Aim of data processing

2.1. information and contacts

New Humanity, through its internet site www.glocalcity.org which it owns, is aimed at imparting information regarding the carrying out of its own activity of associations and of relationships between itself and the Focolare Movement (P.A.M.O.M.), to which it belongs. The information already mentioned (also regarding the description of the services offered) is connected to the addresses of the Secretariat of New Humanity, so that it can be reached by those who are in contact with it or wish to be in contact with the above mentioned Associations (including Adherents, potential Adherents, Suppliers, Dependents, etc.) by technological or traditional means.

Regarding potential Adherents and Adherents, the addresses and information on New Humanity’s internet site www.glocalcity.org are made available to them so that they can know, evaluate, and eventually come to adhere to New Humanity or to be in constant relationship aimed at arriving at a more efficient carrying out of the services, with an increase in the level of customer satisfaction.

The addresses and information present on the internet site are also made available to suppliers or to internal and external collaborators to improve the network of relationships and the efficiency of the contacts.

Further aims have to do with the improvement of the effectiveness of the internet site by indicating the webmaster’s electronic postal address to the contacts, which they can be directed to if they wish, and in order to help them with specific communications relevant to the effectiveness and the presence of contents of that site.

2.2. data known to those interested

Through the addresses made available to the Adherents and/or to the Users, including the electronic postal address, New Humanity is able to arrive at knowledge of the personal data of those who will be invited by Them. It is to be remembered that for such data, already known to the person who communicates them, there is however the exemption envisaged by art. 13, col. 2, second section, of Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003.

2.3. data not supported by express consent of the interested party

Where the personal data made available contain sensitive data and/or judgments and which do fall under the written consent of the party, these data will be deleted and/or destroyed by New Humanity.

New Humanity will be able to treat the personal data of those concerned, even without the manifestation of express consent in terms of the hypothesis of current legislation as applied to the concrete case, as, for example, on the hypothesis that this processing is necessary to fulfil the requirements of the law, rule or community regulation, or where it is necessary to carry out obligations deriving from a contract to which the interested person is a party, or to fulfil the specific requests of the interested person who has begun to undertake a contract, or in the last hypothesis to which art. 24 Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003 and further legal dispositions are applicable. New Humanity also reserves the right, when requested, to delete data regarding third subjects for whom there has not been given the required written consent.

2.4. excluded aims

3. Aims and manners of data processing in relation to specific typologies of processing

3.1. curricula

New Humanity does not intend to acquire, by means of the addresses indicated on its own internet site, any curriculum, except where that is explicitly requested.

Therefore, where New Humanity, by means of the addresses published on its internet site www.glocalcity.org has, however, to receive spontaneously from a party, curricula containing data of those same parties or third parties, New Humanity will ensure their deletion and/or destruction.

Where New Humanity considers it should request curricula from collaborators or for the purposes of employment, for a determinate time or determinate times, it will ensure that within a relevant section of its own internet site to be set up, or according to various manners it will consider more suitable, to explicitly indicate the requests in relation to specific and determinate professional profiles, along with communication of the necessary warning information.

4. Means of data processing

4.1. instruments and supports for data processing

The data processing will be carried out by means of information and telematic technology and with electronic instruments.

The processing will be carried out partly on the relevant server belonging to New Humanity or, later, by other servers. In this latter case, New Humanity according to the relevant contract, has however the exclusive legal responsibility of the server or servers used, without any communication of the data to the suppliers of the service, who in every case remain contractually bound with New Humanity to adopt suitable and updated measures of security and protection, whether physical or logical, for the servers used by New Humanity.

The data processing is also to be carried out by information and telematic systems present at the headquarters of New Humanity or, at least with information instruments owned by the same, or, where necessary, by those entrusted with the data processing, regarding the security measures requested by the current laws, and anyway by those communicated by the owner of the processing.    

The data processing can also be carried out with non-electronic instruments, including the supporting use of paper records.

4.2. operations of processing

The operations of processing can consist in one or more operations concerning the data, their recording, organization, conservation, consultation, elaboration, modification, selection, extraction, comparison, utilization, interconnection, blocking, communication (according to what has been specified in the following paragraph 4.3), cancellation and destruction, even to prescinding from their recording in a data bank.

4.3. communication of the data

The personal data gathered by New Humanity or which New Humanity has to become aware of in the carrying out of its own activity can be communicated to (or can become the object of knowledge on the part of) subjects charged with and/or responsible for the processing, in relation to the specific competences and functions, for the purpose of satisfying the aims mentioned above or to bring about normative and/or contractual fulfillments.

Normally the data should not be communicated or brought to the knowledge of other owners of the data processing, unless that is not required in obedience to legal or contractual dispositions or to fulfil specific needs. In such a case, the aforesaid data can, in particular, be brought to the knowledge of the following subjects or of the following categories of subject, limited by what is necessary to fulfil the legal and/or contractual obligations: a) of internal or external consultants or collaborators, with respect to the laws in force and/or for the carrying out of the contractual services in relation to the individual interested parties (work consultants; legal consultants; commercial agents; economists; accountants); b) of the Focolare Movement (P.A.M.O.M.-P.A.F.O.M.) (www.focolare.org), to which New Humanity belongs.

4.4. diffusion of the data

In every case, personal data will not be an object of diffusion, unless expressly requested by the interested party; this would eventually be the case in the execution of the specific contractual dispositions with that same party. In such cases the range of diffusion of the data remains confined by the limits of the request of the interested party or of the contractual agreements entered into.

However, it is possible that there should be diffusion of navigational data of the site alone, but in such case, the diffusion of the data will take an aggregated and anonymous form, with the aim of providing relevant statistics regarding the consultation of the internet site www.glocalcity.org, property of New Humanity or a part of New Humanity.

4.5. navigation data

Consultation of the internet site www.glocalcity.org, property of New Humanity, can involve an automatic processing of navigation data of the User intended solely for making the User’s consultation technically possible, along with controlling it and assuring its correct functioning in relation to the hardware and software instruments used. Since the processing of these data does not take place in order to identify whoever is carrying out the navigation on the above mentioned internet site, there is, however, the possibility that it could still lead to the identification of the User, provided that such data are associated with other data made available to New Humanity or to third parties.

Among the navigation data the following can be considered: the IP numbers of the instruments used by the User; the access number; visualized pages; access or connection time; navigation browser; operating system used by the User; URL visited before accessing the internet site www.glocalcity.org, property of New Humanity; numerical code indicating the state of the reply given by the server (good result, error, etc.) and other parameters relative to the operating system and the informational range of the User.

Such data should not be used except for the aims specified above, including that of later monitoring in an anonymous form for statistical reasons.

Wherever the abovementioned information is used for statistical reasons, the data relative to the User should be dealt with in an anonymous and aggregated way, such as to maintain the protection of those interested at a high level (cf. paragraph 4.4. above).

4.6. cookies

4.6.1. “persistent” cookies

No use of so-called “persistent” cookies for the transmission of personal data is to be made on the internet site www.glocalcity.org, property of New Humanity.

4.6.2. “session” cookies

On the other hand, so called “session” cookies can be used, consisting of strings of text sent telematically to the User’s computer, which are not persistently memorized but disappear when the browser is turned off. The use of “session” cookies is employed to ensure efficient and safe navigation of the internet site www.glocalcity.org, and is specifically limited to the transmission of session identification, composed of random numbers generated by the server.

The so called session cookies used on this site avoid recourse to other technical information potentially prejudicial for the reservation of the users’ navigation and do not allow the acquisition of personal data identifying the User.

4.7. electronic post

Provided that email communication is forwarded to the electronic postal addresses present on the internet site www.glocalcity.org, property of New Humanity, there will be automatic acquisition of data relative to the email addresses contained in the message, along with other personal data inserted into that communication.

The data relative to the electronic postal addresses should also be processed with a view to predisposing them for future replies.

4.8. reserved area

On the internet site www.glocalcity.org, property of New Humanity, a suitable reserved site is proposed, whose access by means of the digitalization of an identification code and a password permits New Humanity and those charged with the data processing to carry out the necessary operations to deliver and operate the services and to operate and maintain the entire information and telematic system.

Access to the reserved area is also permitted to Adherents who have previously obtained specific credentials of personal authentication, in order to access the services requested and provided by New Humanity.

By accessing the reserved area, the system can gather and deal with information relative to the times and means of access and to the operations carried out. In such case the processing is exclusively aimed at management of the service offered and at maintaining the system’s levels of security.


5. The nature of confirmation

The confirmation of personal data by the interested person is optional, except for where, in the presence of a form, the field relative to the insertion of data is countersigned with an asterisk. In such a case, confirmation of the data is to be understood as obligatory.

Also obligatory is automatic processing of navigation data, of data relative to access and to remaining in the reserved area and of data of a contractual nature.

6. Consequences of denial of service

The lack of confirmation of the optional data does not in any case prevent the carrying out of the services requested by New Humanity.

Where confirmation of the data is to be understood as obligatory in relation to what is provided for in paragraph 5, the lack of confirmation of the interested person or of consent to the processing can lead to the impossibility, on the part of New Humanity, to deliver or supply the service or the reply requested.

7. User rights

The interested parties to which are referred the personal data processed by New Humanity enjoy the rights to which art. 7 of Italian Legislative Decree 196/03 (“Code for the protection of personal data”) refers, and in particular have the right to obtain the confirmation of the existence or not of personal data regarding them, even if it is not yet recorded, and to their communication in intelligible form.

They also have the right to obtain indications concerning the origin of these data, the aims and means of their processing, the logic of the processing, the identifiable range of the owners and responsibles who are dealing with the data, and of the subject or category of subjects to whom the data may be communicated. They have moreover the right to obtain those data’s updating, correction and integration, where this would be of interest. They also have the right to check the accuracy, as well as to ask for the deletion, or transformation into an anonymous form or block of the data processed unlawfully, as well as to oppose in each case the processing of such data, for legitimate reasons.

The requests can be forwarded to New Humanity, as well be specified more exactly in the following paragraph 8.
