WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY WHY ARE WE PUBLISHING THIS NOTICE?
This page offers a description of the methods used to manage the website, with reference to the personal data of its users. It concerns an informative notice issued in compliance with article 13 of legislative decree no. 196/2003 - Code regulating the protection of personal data – to those who interact with web services accessible via computer at:
The informative notice is issued solely for the website in question and not for other websites which might be visited by the user via links. The informative notice is also inspired by Recommendation no. 2/2001, which the European authorities for the protection of personal data, united in the Group set up by art. 29 of directive no. 95/46/CE, implemented on 17 May 2001 to identify certain minimum requirements for the on-line collection of personal data. These requirements include methods, times and the nature of the information which the holders of the process must supply to users when they log on to web pages, regardless of the reasons for logging on. The Recommendation and a brief description of its aims can be found on other pages on this website.
THE “HOLDER” OF THE PROCESS
Following use of this website, data relating to identified or identifiable persons may be processed. The “holder” of the process is the Centre for Studies on Federalism, based in Moncalieri, Italy.
DATA PROCESSING VENUE
The processes related to the web services of this website take place at the Centre for Studies on Federalism and are carried out exclusively by the technical personnel of the data processing department, or by other persons who might be assigned occasional maintenance tasks. No data obtained via the web service will be communicated or divulged. The personal data supplied by users who forward requests for the dispatch of informative materials (newsletters, CD-ROMS, annual reports, answers to questions, deeds and provisions, etc.) is used only to supply the service or pursue the aims requested and will only be given to third parties if this is absolutely necessary in order to achieve such aim.
TYPES OF DATA PROCESSED
Surfing data The IT systems and software procedures for the operation of this website acquire certain items of personal data during their normal working procedures, due to the fact that the transmission of such data is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols. This information is not collected to be associated with identified parties but may, due to its specific nature, be processed and associated with data held by third parties to enable the identification of users. This category of data includes the IP addresses or dominions of computers utilised by users of the website, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of the resources requested, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the dimension of the file obtained in response, the numeric code indicating the status of the server response (successful, error, etc.) and other parameters relating to the operating system and the user’s IT environment. This data is used solely to obtain anonymous statistical information on the use of the website and to check that it works correctly, and is cancelled immediately after processing. The data could be used to ascertain responsibility in the event of hypothetical IT crimes damaging the website..
Data supplied voluntarily by the user
The optional, explicit and voluntary dispatch of e-mail to the addresses indicated on this website implicates the subsequent acquisition of the sender’s address, needed to reply, as well as any other personal data included in the message. Brief informative specifications will be progressively reported or displayed on the website pages reserved for particular services by request.
COOKIES
No personal data on users is purposely acquired by the website. No cookies are used for the transmission of personal information, nor is any type of so-called persistent cookie, or user tracking system, used. The use of so-called session cookies (which are not memorised persistently on the user’s computer and vanish when the browser is closed) is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifications (consisting of random numbers generated by the server) necessary to allow the safe and efficient exploration of the website. The so-called session cookies used on this website avoid the need to use other IT techniques which are potentially hazardous to the confidentiality of web surfing by users, and do not allow the acquisition of personal information which identifies the user.
OPTIONAL SUPPLY OF DATA
Apart from that specified for the web surfing data, the user is free to supply the personal data indicated on the request forms or indicated in contacts to solicit the dispatch of informative material or other correspondence. Failure to supply such information may make it impossible to obtain the service required. For completeness of information, we would like to remind you that, in some cases (not within the ordinary management of this website) the Authorities may request news and information in compliance with art 157 of legislative decree no. 196/2003, for the purposes of control over the processing of personal data. In these cases, compliance with such requests is mandatory, otherwise administrative sanctions are applied.
PROCESSING METHOD
Personal data is processed, using automated tools, for the time strictly required to achieve the aims for which it was collected. Specific security measures are observed to prevent loss, illicit or improper use and unauthorised access to the data.
THE DATA SUBJECT’S RIGHTS
The subjects to whom the personal data refers are entitled to obtain confirmation of the existence (or otherwise) of data concerning them, at any time, and to receive information on its content and origin. They may also verify that it is precise or ask for its completion, update or rectification (art. 7 of legislative decree no. 196/2003). In accordance with the above article, data subjects are entitled to request the cancellation, transformation into anonymous form or blockage of data processed in breach of the law, and may also oppose its processing should they have legitimate reasons for such opposition. All requests should be addressed to the Holder of the Process.

NEW! Perspectives on Federalism listed in Class A by ANVUR - September 30th, 2022 (download Press Release)
Perspectives on Federalism is an Open Access peer-reviewed journal, promoted by Fondazione CSF. This initiative follows other successful initiatives like the Bibliographical Bulletin on Federalism. Perspectives on Federalism is an open forum for interdisciplinary debate about federalism at all levels of government: sub-national, national, and supra-national at both regional and global levels. A special focus is given to the developments of European integration.
Perspectives on Federalism is divided into three sections. Along with essays and review articles , it also publishes very short notes to provide information and updated comments about political, economic and legal issues in federal states, regional organizations, and international organizations at global level, whenever they are relevant to scholars of federalism. We hope scholars from around the world will contribute to this initiative, and we have provided a simple and immediate way to submit an essay, a review article or a note.
Perspectives on Federalism publishes original contributions from different disciplinary viewpoints as the subject of federalism requires. Papers submitted will undergo a process of double blind review before eventually being accepted for publication. We also welcome special issue proposals.
Centro Studi sul Federalismo started this project thanks to the commitment of a motivated international and interdisciplinary team of young scholars who constitute the Editorial Board. We count on the support of a Scientific Committee which lists colleagues with an established international reputation, who will be very helpful also in the peer review.
Both the Editorial Board and the Scientific Committee are open to further contributions from scholars interested in this project.
Please contact us for any further information about forms of support, and cooperation with Perspectives on Federalism.
