Quale di queste informazioni è un dato personale?

Anyone working in an office, a shop or a professional practice handles personal data every day: names, email addresses, payslips, medical certificates, CVs. The General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the Italian Privacy Code require every authorised person to know how to do this properly.

The course covers the principles, legal bases, special categories of data, roles (controller, processor, authorised persons), data subject rights and how to handle a personal data breach within the well-known 72 hours. Every lesson ends with concrete examples and clear dos and don'ts for your desk.

It is designed for non-lawyers: no unnecessary jargon, plenty of practical cases and a final test with instant explanations. The course is taught in Italian.

Frequently asked questions

Does the course meet the GDPR training requirement?

The GDPR requires authorised staff to receive appropriate instructions and training. This course helps you do that, but your organisation should still add its own internal instructions and procedures.

Will I get a DPO certification?

No. You get a certificate of completion. It is not a professional Data Protection Officer certification.

How many times can I take the test?

As many times as you like. You need at least 75% correct answers, and you see the explanation right after each question.

Do I have to follow the lessons in order?

Yes. The course is sequential: each lesson unlocks once you complete the previous one, because the concepts build on each other.

How long is the certificate valid?

It is valid for 24 months. Refreshing privacy training regularly is good practice, as rules and regulator guidance keep evolving.
