PRIVACY NOTICE
The Data Controller, in order to allow your registration on this website (if applicable) and/or the submission of information requests via contact forms and/or subscription to the newsletter service, needs to collect some of your personal data. Your personal data will be processed to enable you to access your profile, participate in initiatives promoted through the website, receive newsletters, receive commercial offers from third parties, send information requests, and use all other services provided on the website. The processing of your personal data will be legally based on the contractual relationship created between you and the Data Controller upon your acceptance of the website’s participation conditions. The personal data required for the purposes above will include, but not be limited to: name, surname, username, date of birth, residence/domicile address, email address, telephone numbers (landline and/or mobile), tax code, and gender. If you choose to access the website using a social media profile (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Google, Twitter), where applicable, your personal data will be collected from third parties, i.e., the social network provider you used to access the website. The Data Controller may also request, with your express, free, and unequivocal consent, additional personal data, such as preferences, habits, needs, and consumption choices. Using these data, the Data Controller may conduct promotional and/or marketing activities, including on behalf of third parties or through other services owned by the Data Controller. You may revoke your consent at any time, even partially, for example, by agreeing only to traditional contact methods. Your personal data may be stored if necessary for data collection or service provision. You will receive newsletters and marketing communications until you unsubscribe. The Data Controller commits to periodically reviewing reception and opening statistics and removing inactive contacts to reduce unnecessary communications. You have the right to access, rectify, transfer, or delete your data at any time by contacting us through the channels indicated in this policy. If you receive unwanted promotional emails, you can unsubscribe by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email. Your personal data will be retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, as required by law, and subject to periodic verification of user engagement. The Data Controller will not ask you to provide strictly personal data revealing your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, as well as your genetic or biometric data intended to uniquely identify a natural person, or data related to your health, sexual life, or sexual orientation. In the event that the requested service requires the processing of such data, you will receive a specific notice in advance, to which you will need to provide explicit consent.
To which subjects can your Personal Data be communicated ?
Your personal data may be communicated to specific entities considered recipients of such personal data. It is defined as the recipient of a personal data “a natural or legal person, public authority, service, or another entity that receives communication of personal data, whether or not they are third parties” (hereinafter “Recipients”). In this context, to properly carry out all the processing activities necessary to pursue the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, the following Recipients may be in a position to process your personal data: Third-party entities that carry out part of the processing activities and/or activities related and instrumental to the same on behalf of the Data Controller. Individual collaborators of the Data Controller, to whom specific and/or multiple data processing activities on your personal data have been entrusted. These individuals have been given specific instructions on the security and correct use of personal data and are defined as “persons authorized to process personal data under the direct authority of the Data Controller” (hereinafter “Authorized Persons”). Where required by law or to prevent or suppress a crime, your personal data may be communicated to public authorities or judicial authorities without being defined as Recipients. The Data Controller may request personal data necessary for the execution of a payment. In such cases, some of your data may be communicated to credit institutions, payment acquisition and/or processing companies, accounting firms for necessary checks, procedure execution, and sending of receipts and/or invoices. The communication of your personal data may, therefore, occur to third parties and/or recipients whose activity is necessary to carry out activities related to the established relationship and to comply with certain legal obligations, such as administrative and accounting obligations related to the contractual provision.
Can you revoke the consent given, and how ?
If you have given consent for the processing of your personal data for one or more purposes for which consent was requested, you may revoke it at any time, either entirely or partially, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent before the revocation. The methods for revoking consent are simple and intuitive. You just need to contact the Data Controller using the contact details provided in this Privacy Notice. In addition, for simplicity, if you are in a situation where you receive advertising emails that are no longer of interest to you, you can simply click on the unsubscribe button at the bottom of the emails to stop receiving any further communications, including through other contact channels for which your consent was obtained (SMS, MMS, postal mail, fax, phone calls).
For how long will your Personal Data be processed ?
Your personal data will be processed by the Data Controller only as long as necessary to pursue the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice. Moreover, as stated in previous paragraphs: “The Data Controller commits to periodically monitoring the statistics of receiving and opening newsletters and/or direct marketing emails (DEM), removing contacts that are no longer interested or active for a while; this to minimize every sending and direct communication only to those truly involved.”

You will be informed before such restriction is lifted.
