Full details of each type of personal data collected are provided in the sections devoted to this privacy policy or in specific explanatory texts published before the data is collected. Personal data may be freely provided by the user or, in the case of usage data, collected automatically when you use this website.

Unless stated otherwise, all data requested by this website is mandatory and its absence may make it impossible for this website to provide services. In the event that this website specifies that certain data is not compulsory, users are free not to provide it without any consequences for the availability or operation of the service.

Users who have any doubts about the personal data required are invited to contact the owner.

Any use of cookies - or other tracking tools - by this website or by the owners of third-party services used by this website is intended to provide the service requested by the user, in addition to the other purposes described in this document and in the cookie policy, if available.

Users are responsible for any third-party personal data obtained, published, or communicated through this website and confirm that they obtain the consent of the third party to provide the data to the owner.

 

Processing methods

The owner takes appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or destruction of the data.
Data processing is carried out using computers or IT tools, following procedures and organizational methods closely related to the purposes indicated. Apart from the owner, the data may be accessible, in certain cases, to certain categories of persons in charge of the operation of this website (administration, sales, marketing, legal department, system administration) or to external parties (such as third-party technical service providers, courier services, hosting providers, IT companies, communications agencies) designated, where applicable, as sub-contractors by the owner. The updated list of these parties may be requested from the owner at any time.

 

Legal basis for processing

The owner may process personal data relating to users if one of the following conditions applies:

  • users have given their consent for one or more specific purposes. Please note: under certain legislation, the owner may be authorized to process personal data until the user objects (‘opt-out’), without having to rely on consent or one of the following legal bases. However, this condition does not apply where the processing of personal data is subject to European data protection law.
  • the provision of data is necessary for the performance of an agreement with the user or for any pre-contractual obligation of the user.
  • processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which the owner is subject;
  • processing relates to a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the owner.
  • processing is necessary for the legitimate interests pursued by the owner or by a third party.

In all cases, the owner will gladly assist you in clarifying the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of personal data is a legal or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

 

Place of processing

Data is processed at the owner's registered office and in all other places where the responsible parties are located.

Depending on the user's location, data transfers may result in the user's data being transferred to a country other than their own. To find out more about where this transferred data is processed, users can consult the section containing details about the processing of personal data.

Users also have the right to know the legal basis for data transfers to a country outside the European Union or to any international organization governed by public international law or created by two or more countries, such as the UN, as well as the security measures taken by the owner to safeguard their data.

If such a transfer takes place, users can find out more by consulting the relevant sections of this document or by contacting the owner using the information provided in the contact section.

Personal data is processed and kept for as long as required for the purpose for which it was collected.

In addition, the owner may be obliged to retain personal data for a longer period whenever this is required for the performance of a legal obligation or by order of an authority.

Once the retention period has expired, the personal data will be deleted. Consequently, the right of access, the right of erasure, the right of rectification, and the right to data portability cannot be applied after the retention period has expired.
