The website does not provide user registration, e-commerce services, online payments, newsletter subscriptions or contact forms.

3. Data processed

Browsing and technical data

The technical systems used to operate and secure the website may automatically process information such as:

• IP address;
• browser and device information;
• date and time of access;
• requested pages and resources;
• diagnostic, security and server logs.

This information is generally processed automatically as part of the normal operation of internet services.

Information provided by email

Users may contact SOFINE through the email links available on the website.

In this case, SOFINE may process the sender's email address, name, message content and any other information voluntarily included in the communication.

The website itself does not collect or store information through an online contact form.

4. Purposes and legal bases

Technical and browsing data may be processed to:

• provide and maintain the website;
• ensure its security and correct operation;
• prevent misuse, fraud and technical incidents;
• diagnose errors and respond to security events.

This processing is based on the legitimate interest of the Data Controller in maintaining a secure and functional website.

Information voluntarily sent by email may be processed to:

• respond to requests;
• provide information about SOFINE and The Beast Field;
• arrange meetings or visits;
• manage communications requested by the sender.

This processing is based on the performance of pre-contractual measures requested by the user or, where applicable, the legitimate interest of the Data Controller in responding to received communications.

Personal data may also be processed where necessary to comply with legal obligations or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. Providing personal data

Browsing data necessary for the operation and security of the website is processed automatically.

Sending an email is voluntary. Failure to provide the information required to respond may make it impossible for SOFINE to manage the request.

6. Processing methods and security

Personal data is processed using electronic systems and appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect it against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, disclosure or unlawful use.

No automated decision-making or profiling is carried out through this website.

These parties process data only within the limits necessary to provide their services or comply with legal obligations.

Personal data is not sold, rented or disclosed for advertising purposes.

8. International transfers

Some technical service providers may process data outside the European Economic Area.

Where this occurs, personal data will be transferred in accordance with applicable data protection law, on the basis of an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses or another recognised safeguard.

9. Data retention

Technical and security data is retained only for the period necessary to operate and protect the website, investigate technical or security incidents and comply with applicable legal obligations.

Information received by email is retained for the time required to respond to and manage the request. It may be retained for a longer period where necessary to comply with legal obligations or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

10. External links

The website may contain links to third-party services, including email applications and Google Maps.

These services are not embedded in the website and are activated only when the user selects the relevant link. Once an external service is opened, the processing of personal data is governed by the policies of the relevant provider.

The Data Controller is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services.
