Personal data protection

On 27th April 2016, the European Union approved an important reform to the regulatory framework pertaining to the protection of personal data with the adoption of the “General Data Protection Regulation” (GDPR or Regulation), which became directly applicable in Member States. The Regulation replaced Directive 95/46/EC (“Data Protection Directive”) and its application became mandatory from 25 May 2018, two years after its entry into force.

The new Regulation reinforces the safeguards related to the right to personal data protection, in line with the recognition of the protection of personal data as a fundamental right in the EU. Furthermore, the Regulation represents a necessary and urgent response to the challenges posed by technological developments that allow for the collection and processing of large quantities of personal data in real time, thereby enabling the development of automated decision-making without any human involvement. The Regulation meets the requirement to protect privacy, which is an increasingly pressing concern for European citizens.

Trenitalia S.p.A. considers the protection of the personal data of its customers, employees and suppliers an obligation that goes beyond simple regulatory compliance. For this reason it has adopted its own Data Protection Framework that is intended to be a set of roles and responsibilities, internal rules and methodologies, aimed at guaranteeing the management and mitigation of risks for the rights and freedoms of individuals related to the processing of personal data.

Rights of the data subjects

EU Regulation 2016/679 (Articles 15 to 23) grants data subjects the option to exercise specific rights. In particular, in relation to the processing of your personal data, you have the right to request Trenitalia S.p.A. for:  access to your data; the rectification, cancellation and portability of your data; limitation of processing; opposition to processing. In particular:
