Pursuant to the regulations for the personal data protection applicable in Italy, MTV undertakes to guarantee the privacy and security of the personal data of its clients and, more in general, of every navigator, including Internet access from other countries.

This Privacy Policy aims to set out the methods of processing of personal data related to users/visitors of the website www.qoob.tv (“Website”) operated by MTV Italia S.r.l..

Pursuant to Article 13 of the Legislative Decree 196/03 (“Personal Data Code”) MTV provide dtaliled informative notices in relation to any service provide on the Website.

Such informative notices concern the terms and conditions of personal data processing of any service provided. Every visitor is free to express his/her consent and authorise MTV to register and use personal data.

In relation to each service MTV will communicate the list of any Data Controllers and/or Data Processors, as defined in the Personal Data Code.

Web users and visitors must read carefully this Privacy Policy before sending any personal information and/or filling in any electronic form posted on this Website.


Types of personal data and purposes for their processing

The content of the Website is of an informative and interactive nature. When navigating the Website, information can thus be acquired on users, or more in general visitors, as follows:


A) Data concerning the web-surfing

The Website collects technical information on the hardware and software used by visitors, either independently or by using "Nielsen-Rating" tools for analysing link files. This information concerns:

o IP address,
o type of browser,
o Internet service provider
o operating system,
o name of dominion and addresses of web sites accessed or exited (referring/exit pages),
o information on web site pages visited,
o time of access,
o duration of page views,
o analysis of virtual path inside site (clickstream),

This information does not supply personal data on clients/visitors but only data of a technical/informative nature which is collected and used in an aggregated and anonymous form with the sole aim of improving the quality of the service and providing statistics on Website use. Consult the Nielsen-Rating privacy Policy for further information on this subject.


B) Data provided spontaneously by users/visitors

If users/visitors connecting to this Website send their personal data in order to use some services or to make requests through e-mail, MTV gathers their addresses and/or any other personal data, which will be processed exclusively to fulfil any query or to provide the requested service. In any event, any personal data shall be processed in accordance with the relative above mentioned informative notice.

"Opt-In" and "Opt-Out" policy: before activating a service, MTV will provide a detailed informative notice and if necessary MTV will be required to ask to clients/visitors for their consent. This consent can be withdrawn at any time, meaning that the service involved can no longer be accessed. The data collected is kept for the time strictly necessary for achieving the aims for which its treatment consent has been given, (e.g. activation/management of the specific service).


C) Cookies

COOKIES are small text files stored in the computer during navigation of a web site. They are used to process and identify users data. The cookie file is usually very small and takes up little space on the hard drive. The cookie is transferred to the registered users hard drive to "memorise" what areas of the Website have been visited. This choice means that users can reach the key parts of a previously visited site faster.

There are various types of cookies:

• permanent, that remain stored on the hard drive even when the browser is closed
• transient or session, that are only stored for the duration of the navigation and are deleted from the computer when the browser is closed
• third-party, generated by a web site other than that currently visited.

The cookies MTV uses are a combination of these three types: some serve only for opening and maintaining a session under authentication (transient cookies). In this case, after the authentication session or the browser is closed, although they remain stored in the computer (permanent cookies), neither MTV nor third parties can use them. For purely statistical reasons Nielsen-Rating uses (third-party cookies) for measuring aggregate information (see part on Information collected indirectly on clients/visitors) and cookies of the server 24/7 Real Media – Open Ad Stream, used to set the frequencies to allow the display of advertising banners. To offer a Website that increasingly meets clients/visitors expectations and requirements, data collected on cookies is constantly analysed; this data only indicates in an anonymous manner how the Website is used, (e.g. areas and sections that are considered of greater interest and utility for navigators). Clients/visitors are given the option to configure their browser to accept all cookies, only some cookies, or to decline all cookies. However, if cookies are not accepted it may be impossible to deliver those services where authentication is needed for access. Please, note that, at the end of every session, clients/visitors can delete both the navigation cache-memory and the cookies collected.


Methods of data processing

Data are processed both through computer-based tools (such as electronic procedures) and manually (such as on paper-based procedures) only for the limited time period necessary for the purposes according to which they have been gathered and, anyway, in compliance with the related law. In any event, specific personal data processing methods shall be set out in the relative informative notice.


Data Supplying

Personal data provided by clients/visitors is exclusively required in order to allow MTV to provide the requested service(s).


Data controller, data processors and classes of people in charge

The Data controller is MTV Italia S.r.l. – headquartered in via della Pineta Sacchetti, 229 – 00168 Rome and with administrative office in Corso Europa, 7 – 2022 Milano.

Inside the company, the personal data will be processed by the employees in charge of the functions mentioned in the list before. They are “Persons in charge of the processing” of personal data under the control of the Data processor.


Rights of data subjects

Pursuant to Paragraph 7 of the Data Protection Code, The people whom the personal data refer to have the right to have it confirmed whether their data exist and are stored or not and to know about their content and origin, to check if their data are correct and to ask for their integration, update or correction.

Any request in relation to the above must be addressed to Data processors.


Other forms of data use
