The Data Controller implements appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorised access to, disclosure, alteration or destruction of Personal Data.
Processing is carried out using IT and/or telecommunications tools, in accordance with organisational procedures and logic strictly related to the purposes set out. In addition to the Data Controller, in certain cases, other parties involved in the organisation of this website (administrative, sales, marketing and legal staff, as well as system administrators) or external parties (such as third-party technical service providers, postal couriers, hosting providers, IT companies, and communications agencies) who may also be appointed, where necessary, as Data Processors by the Data Controller. An up-to-date list of Data Processors may be requested from the Data Controller at any time.

Legal basis for processing

The Data Controller processes Personal Data relating to the User where one of the following conditions applies:

  • the User has given their consent for one or more specific purposes; Note: in some jurisdictions, the Data Controller may be authorised to process Personal Data without the User’s consent or any other of the legal bases specified below, provided that the User does not object (‘opt-out’) to such processing. However, this does not apply where the processing of Personal Data is governed by European legislation on the protection of Personal Data;
  • the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with the User and/or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures;
  • the processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which the Data Controller is subject;
  • the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Data Controller;
  • The processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Data Controller or by third parties.

In any case, it is always possible to ask the Data Controller to clarify the specific legal basis for each instance of processing and, in particular, to specify whether the processing is based on the law, required by a contract or necessary for the conclusion of a contract.

Location

The Data is processed at the Data Controller’s operational premises and at any other location where the parties involved in the processing are situated. For further information, please contact the Data Controller.
The User’s Personal Data may be transferred to a country other than the one in which the User is located. For further information on the location of processing, the User may refer to the section detailing the processing of Personal Data.

The User is entitled to obtain information regarding the legal basis for the transfer of Data outside the European Union or to an international organisation governed by public international law or established by two or more countries, such as the UN, as well as regarding the security measures adopted by the Data Controller to protect the Data.

Should any of the transfers described above take place, the User may refer to the relevant sections of this document or request further information from the Data Controller by contacting them using the details provided at the beginning of this document.

Shelf life

Data is processed and retained for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Therefore:

  • Personal Data collected for purposes relating to the performance of a contract between the Data Controller and the User will be retained until the performance of that contract has been completed.
  • Personal Data collected for purposes relating to the Data Controller’s legitimate interest will be retained until that interest has been satisfied. The User may obtain further information regarding the legitimate interest pursued by the Data Controller in the relevant sections of this document or by contacting the Data Controller.

Furthermore, the Data Controller may be obliged to retain Personal Data for a longer period in order to comply with a legal obligation or following an order from an authority.
