In order for the consent so granted to be correctly informed, the following articles provide information concerning the methods by which Nugolo carries out the processing and the specific obligations placed on Nugolo and also on the USER regarding data protection.
Processing of personal data by Nugolo
The USER's personal data will be processed by NUGOLO S.a.s. di Luca Parolin, with registered office in Via Roma n. 16, Rivalta di Torino 10040 TO, Italy, email info@nugolo.it; Phone +39 011 3017164 — Mobile +39 334 6599191.
The USER's personal data will be specifically processed by the owner of Nugolo and by personnel authorized by them, trained and trustworthy, appropriately and legally accountable, equipped with specific and confidential authentication credentials, and in any case contractually bound to special obligations of confidentiality and secrecy.
Processing takes place in compliance with the criteria and obligations of confidentiality and protection of personal data provided for by EU and Italian regulations. Nugolo has established the obligation for its administrators and employees to hold periodic meetings on the subject of confidentiality and on the verification of the correct functioning of the internal procedures used for the processing and protection of personal data.
The servers used by Nugolo are currently located in the Data Center of Amazon Web Services Inc., a well-known leading European cloud solutions provider chosen by over 1 million customers. Nugolo reserves the right to change this provider in the future with another one that provides the same quality and security characteristics.

- Product developed in-house for complete control over the data and information management process
- Backups are stored in systems separate from production servers with a retention period of 30 days
- All AWS (Amazon Web Services) services are GDPR-compliant even before its implementation into our legal system

Purposes of processing personal data
Nugolo processes the personal data entered by the USER for the following purposes:
- Execution of the contract between Nugolo and the USER

Processing methods and duration of processing
In relation to the purposes described in the preceding article, the processing of personal data takes place through manual, paper, computerized and telematic tools with logic strictly related to the purposes highlighted above and, in any case, such as to guarantee the security and confidentiality of the personal data themselves.
The processing of the data indicated by the USER may continue until the USER's account has been deleted pursuant to Article 10 of the CONTRACT, provided that the retention of the same data is no longer necessary for Nugolo in order to prove a credit or legal situation that remained unpaid or unresolved with respect to the same USER.
Categories of data subject to processing
In relation to the purposes described in the previous Article 5, Nugolo processes personal data of the USER other than "sensitive" data as referred to in Articles 9 and 10 of the GDPR (e.g., among others, data capable of uniquely linking the name of a person to genetic or health data, religious beliefs, criminal convictions, etc.).
Categories of subjects to whom data may be disclosed
In order to pursue the purposes described above, Nugolo needs to communicate the personal data entered by the USER to third parties, who carry out activities of transmission, enveloping, transport and sorting of communications with the USER and between the USER and third parties indicated by the USER in the data-sending and communications or sharing functions provided for in Nugolo services.
The personal data entered by the USER may also be made known to the Competent Authorities in the event of an order from them. The data processed by Nugolo is not subject to any other dissemination.
USER's rights regarding personal data

Cookie Policy
In order to make its services as efficient and easy to use as possible, Nugolo may use cookies, which are small files that, when the USER visits the website or mobile application, are saved in the web browser directory of the User's device.
The cookies that may be used by Nugolo serve to improve the USER's use of Nugolo services because:
The installation of cookies and other tracking systems operated by third parties cannot be technically controlled; any specific reference to cookies and tracking systems installed by third-party web operators is to be considered merely indicative.
Whenever traffic analysis services such as Google Analytics or other tools from other web operators are expressly in operation on Nugolo pages, the USER, in order to view the relative privacy policy and possibly avoid any tracking, must use the appropriate tools made available by that specific web operator.
Processing of personal data of third parties – USER's ownership and specific obligations – Appointment as Data Processor
Taking into account also the particular operating methods of the services offered by Nugolo, the USER is responsible for all data of third parties entered and processed by them in the use of the services purchased from Nugolo, also and above all in terms of protecting the confidentiality of the personal data of those same third parties.
The USER is the sole Data Controller and responsible for the entry and Processing of personal data entered in their own reserved spaces in Nugolo and in documents created therein (e.g.: invoices, archives, lists, address books, emails, etc.) concerning third parties (clients, suppliers, collaborators, etc.). Therefore, they assume exclusively all legal obligations applicable under EU and Italian law regarding the protection and security of personal data, including:
- The obligation to inform the third parties concerned
- The prior acquisition of the consent of the third parties concerned where mandatory
- Any impact assessment on the risks of processing
- Response and fulfillment of any requests, by the third parties concerned, for information on the processing carried out, blocking or revocation of consent, objection to processing or erasure of personal data
The USER guarantees in any case that, when entering personal data of third parties into Nugolo, they have already obtained from those same third parties the authorization and express consent, where necessary, to the processing of personal data and also the authorization, where necessary, to the entry of the data itself into third-party infrastructures such as Nugolo.
After the User has entered the personal data of third parties into Nugolo, Nugolo will exclusively undertake the following processing phases: a) storage of personal data in its own IT infrastructure; b) performing activities connected with maintaining correct IT security; c) satisfaction of the USER's rights indicated in Article 9; d) performing processing activities strictly necessary for the correct execution of the services.
By registering with Nugolo and in any case by starting to use the services, the USER has therefore accepted that the aforementioned processing procedures used by Nugolo guarantee an adequate level of protection for the risk.
Nugolo reserves in any case the right not to process personal data of third parties entered by the USER when it realizes that the entry and/or processing are in violation of EU or Italian regulations on confidentiality and/or protection of personal data; in this case it will give notice to the User.
11.1 Appointments by Nugolo
For the USER, registration with Nugolo also means having consented to Nugolo being able to appoint its own specific Data Processors, who naturally carry out processing with adequate technical and organizational measures and, in any case, only within the limits of what is necessary for the provision of the services.

- Google Calendar API (scope:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar) — specifically: events of the calendar selected by the user (title, description, location, start/end date and time, attendees, status)
12.2 How the data is used

Meta/WhatsApp data usage (WhatsApp Business Platform Data Policy)
The Nugolo application integrates the WhatsApp Business Cloud API service by Meta Platforms, Inc. to enable business users (management software operators) to communicate with their customers via WhatsApp directly from within the management software. The processing of data received from Meta APIs complies with the WhatsApp Business Messaging Policy, the Meta Platform Terms and Meta's Developer Policy, as well as with EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR).
The Nugolo USER (company) is the Data Controller for the data of its end customers with whom it communicates via WhatsApp.
Nugolo acts as Data Processor (Art. 28 GDPR) on behalf of the USER, as already described in Art. 11.
Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. is the provider of the WhatsApp Business Platform infrastructure and operates according to its own policy available at whatsapp.com/legal.
13.1 Data Accessed
Through the WhatsApp Business Cloud APIs, Nugolo accesses exclusively the following types of data, provided by Meta in relation to messages exchanged between the business USER and their interlocutors (end customers) who have voluntarily initiated or accepted a conversation with the company:
- Phone number of sender/recipient in E.164 format (e.g.
393401234567) - WhatsApp profile name as exposed by the interlocutor in their WhatsApp settings
- Text content of messages exchanged in the conversation
- Media attachments (images, audio, video, documents, voice notes) and related
mime_typewhen the interlocutor voluntarily sends them - Unique message identifier (
WaMessageId) and timestamp of sending/receiving - Delivery status of sent messages (sent, delivered, read, failed) and related error codes provided by Meta
13.2 Data Use
WhatsApp data is used exclusively for the following operational purposes, consistent with the business messaging service requested by the USER:
- Display in the USER's management dashboard the list of conversations with customers and the history of exchanged messages
- Allow the USER's authorized operators to reply to received messages and send new communications (appointment confirmations, service notifications, after-sales support, etc.)
- Perform automatic matching via phone number with the customer/supplier registry already present in the USER's management software, for the sole purpose of associating the conversation with the correct customer profile
- Show delivery/read status indicators for sent messages (checkmarks)
- Notify the operator in real time of incoming new messages via authenticated HTTP polling
13.3 Data Retention
- WhatsApp messages (text, id, timestamp, status, metadata) are stored in the database of the USER's ERP instance, isolated per tenant, for the entire duration of the contractual relationship between the USER and the end customer and for the time necessary to fulfill legal obligations (e.g. commercial documentation, disputes, warranties)
- Media attachments received via WhatsApp are retained only if the USER explicitly saves them; Meta does not allow unlimited re-download of media
- The Meta API access credentials (
WHATSAPP_ACCESS_TOKEN,WHATSAPP_PHONE_NUMBER_ID,WHATSAPP_VERIFY_TOKEN,WHATSAPP_BUSINESS_ACCOUNT_ID) are stored solely in the configuration table of the USER's ERP instance, accessible only to authorized tenant administrators - The business USER can at any time delete individual conversations or individual messages from the management software interface. Deletion is immediate and definitive from the Nugolo database
- Upon request of the end customer who has communicated via WhatsApp, the Data Controller (business USER) is obliged, pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR, to delete the data concerning them. Nugolo provides bulk deletion tools for this purpose
- Backups of WhatsApp data follow the same 30-day lifecycle described in Art. 3
- In case of revocation of the WhatsApp integration by the USER (removal of access tokens from the configuration), the sending and receiving of new messages are immediately suspended. Historical data remains accessible to the USER until an explicit deletion request
13.4 Data Sharing
WhatsApp data processed by Nugolo is NOT sold, leased or shared with third parties for autonomous marketing, analytics or commercial purposes.
The only data flows to third parties are those strictly necessary for the provision of the service:

- Amazon Web Services, Inc. (cloud hosting described in Art. 3) — as Data Processor for the infrastructure layer
- Competent Authorities exclusively in case of a motivated order from them
13.5 Legal Basis
The processing of data deriving from the WhatsApp Business Cloud APIs finds its legal basis in:
- Performance of the contract between the USER (company) and the end customer (Art. 6.1.b GDPR), when the customer has voluntarily initiated a conversation with the company
- Legitimate interest of the company in responding to requests from its customers (Art. 6.1.f GDPR)
- Consent of the end customer (Art. 6.1.a GDPR) for marketing or promotional communications, which must comply with the WhatsApp Business Messaging Policy and be obtained in advance by the business USER before contacting the recipient
