Privacy Policy
(for DBFree User's license click here)
The DBFree.org site (“Website”) is operated by or on behalf of
MAXSIS (REA PO501003 - VAT IT-02101000970), whose principal
place of business is at Firenze (ITALY), Via Lorenzo Il
Magnifico 26. This policy applies to information about you that
is collected by us (MAXSIS), by any company within the MAXSIS
group of associates, or by any other company under the MAXSIS
brand (“MAXSIS group of associates”).
This policy sets out how we use and protect any information about you that you give to us through your use of the Website. If you have any questions or comments in relation to this policy, contact our customer services department at admin@maxsis.it, before using the Website.
We may change this policy from time to time by updating this page. You are advised to check it from time to time in order to ensure that you are aware of any changes and that they are acceptable to you.
What information do we collect about you?
In general, you can view most parts of the Website without giving us any
information. On certain pages, we request information about you, for example,
the registration pages. We are able to provide you with our full Website
environment only if you have completed and submitted the information required
for the registration process, and this information is accepted by us in
accordance with our Website terms and conditions.
Some of the information that we collect is ‘Personal Data’. This means data that
is related to you and identifies you. In this policy, we use the terms ‘Personal
Data’, ‘information about you’, and ‘your information’ interchangeably.
How do we collect the information?
We collect information about you using various methods, including:
We may combine information that we collect about you through this Website
with information that you provide to us by other means, or that is provided to
us by third parties. We may store that information together in a combined
database or in separate databases.
We will not retain information about you for longer than is necessary for the
purpose for which it was intended, or as required under any contract or by law
(and we usually delete data once a user tells us that that he or she will no
longer be using a service). We will not collect an excessive amount of
information from you nor information that is not relevant to the purposes for
which it collected .
What about anonymous information?
We may automatically collect non-personally identifying technical information
from you when you connect to this Website. An example is the domain name of
another website from which you linked to this Website. We collect this
information to help us identify people’s browsing preferences. The information
is used for internal purposes only so that we can carry out research on your
demographics, behavior and interests. Anonymous or generic information from
which you cannot be personally identified is not Personal Data and is therefore
outside the scope of this policy.
To whom do we disclose your information?
We do not disclose to any third parties Personal Data that relates to you
without your consent, except:
You acknowledge that any information that you submit into any environment
that is visible to others (such as My Application, Knowledge Base, FAQ and
Support) results in such information being published in a like manner. You must
take common sense precautions with the information you provide in such
environments and acknowledge that your information is published in such a way
for others to see.
For any disclosure of your Personal Data by us to a carefully selected third
party or to any third party on the above list, we will comply with data
protection law by ensuring that there are arrangements in place to ensure that
the third party does not use your Personal Data for any purpose other than
purposes that we specify and in accordance with the purposes outlined in this
policy, and keep it secure.
We will take all reasonable precautions to ensure that our staff and employees
who have access to information about you have received adequate training to
ensure that they process that information only in accordance with this policy
and with our obligations under data protection law. We may take disciplinary
action against our staff and employees in the event of non-compliance, should we
consider this to be appropriate.
What do we do to keep your information secure?
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to do so,
we have put in place reasonable procedures to safeguard and secure the
information we collect through the website. This has been done with a view to
preventing unauthorized or unlawful processing of your Personal Data and
accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, your Personal Data. Whilst we
have done all of this, we cannot guarantee that your information is secure when
