Information about your data.
Privacy notice for browsing and enquiries submitted through this website. Updated: 11 November 2026.
1. Data controller
The data controller is POLMET S.R.L., with its registered office at Via XX Settembre 40, 25121 Brescia (BS), Italy, VAT number and tax code 04360230983. For enquiries about personal data, you can write to the company’s registered address or to [email protected].
2. Data processed and purposes
When the contact form is available, we process your name, email address, company if provided and message content to handle your enquiry and any resulting communications. Required fields are necessary to respond; without them, the message cannot be sent. Do not include sensitive data or information unnecessary for your enquiry.
Operating the website may involve processing technical data, such as IP address, request time and browser information, needed to provide the service, diagnose errors and prevent abuse.
3. Legal basis
Pre-contractual enquiries are handled under Article 6(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679. Other communications and website security are based on the controller’s legitimate interest in responding to individuals and protecting the service, under point (f). Any legal obligations are fulfilled under point (c). Acknowledging that you have read this notice does not constitute consent to marketing communications.
4. Processing methods and recipients
Enquiries are sent to the controller by email. Data may be processed by authorised persons and hosting and email providers, for activities necessary to operate the website and manage communications. Data is not published or used by the website for profiling or automated decisions.
5. Retention
Communications are retained for the time needed to handle the enquiry and any resulting activities, taking account of applicable obligations and the need to protect rights. The form does not create an enquiry database on the website: the message is delivered by email. Technical counters limiting submissions remain valid for ten minutes and are held in the server process memory.
6. Cookies and external links
The website does not set profiling cookies or use traffic analytics tools. Fonts are served from the website and the map is a simple external link, with no embedded content. When you open links to third-party services, their respective privacy notices apply.
The functional polmet_locale cookie remembers your chosen language for one year. Without a saved choice, the website uses your browser’s preferred language if supported, or Italian otherwise.
7. Your rights
Where provided by law, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction and portability of your data and object to processing based on legitimate interest, by writing to the controller’s contact details. You may also lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).
8. Updates
This notice is updated when services or processing methods change. The date at the beginning identifies this version.
