GENERAL INFORMATION
This document describes how the Data Controller processes your personal data provided on the Site.
The main processing operations of your personal data are described below. In particular, the legal basis of the processing, whether providing data is mandatory, and the consequences of not providing personal data are explained. To best describe your rights, where necessary, we have specified whether and when a particular processing of personal data is not carried out. On the Site, you have the possibility to enter personal data of third parties. In this case, you guarantee that you have obtained consent from these parties for the entry of this personal data. Therefore, you undertake to indemnify and hold harmless the Data Controller from any liability.
Registration on the Site
The information and data requested during registration will be used to allow you both to access the reserved area of the Site and to use the online services offered by the Data Controller to registered users. The legal basis for the processing is the necessity for the Data Controller to execute pre-contractual measures adopted at the request of the data subject. Providing data is optional. However, your possible refusal to provide data will result in the impossibility of registering on the Site. On the Site, it is also possible to register using external services. In this case, your registration data will be shared with the companies providing these external services solely to allow registration on the Site. The legal basis for this processing is the legitimate interest of the Data Controller to allow registration on the Site through external services. The provision of personal data for this purpose is purely optional. Failure to consent to the data processing will, however, result in the impossibility of registering via external services.
Purchases on the Site
Your personal data will be processed to allow you to make purchases on the Site. In the case of placing an online purchase order, to allow the conclusion of the purchase contract and the correct execution of the operations connected to it (and, if necessary based on sector regulations, to fulfill fiscal obligations). The legal basis for the processing is the obligation of the Data Controller to execute the contract with the data subject or to fulfill legal obligations. Regardless of the above (and therefore of your consent), the Data Controller may process your data for so-called 'soft-spam' purposes, governed by art. 130 of the Privacy Code. This means that limited to the email you provided in the context of a purchase through the Site, the Data Controller will process the email to allow the direct offer of similar products/services, provided that you do not object to such processing in the manner provided for in this information notice. The legal basis for the processing is the legitimate interest of the Data Controller to send this type of communication. This legitimate interest can be considered equivalent to the interest of the data subject in receiving 'soft-spam' communications. The Data Controller may send emails to remind the user to complete a purchase. The legal basis for this processing is the legitimate interest of the Data Controller to send this type of communication.
Responding to your requests
Your data will be processed to respond to your requests for information. Providing data is optional, but your refusal will make it impossible for the Data Controller to answer your questions. The legal basis for the processing is the legitimate interest of the Data Controller to follow up on user requests. This legitimate interest is equivalent to the user's interest in receiving a response to communications sent to the Data Controller.
Generic marketing
With your consent, the Data Controller may process the personal data you provide in order to send you advertising material and/or newsletters relating to its own products or those of third parties. The legal basis for this processing is your consent. The provision of personal data for this purpose is purely optional. Failure to consent to the processing of data for marketing purposes will result in the impossibility for you to receive advertising material relating to products/services of the Data Controller and/or third parties, as well as the impossibility for the Data Controller to carry out market research, including those aimed at evaluating user satisfaction, and to send you newsletters.
Profiling
With your consent, the Data Controller may process your personal data for profiling purposes, i.e., for the analysis of your consumption choices through the detection of the type and frequency of purchases made by you, in order to send you advertising material and/or newsletters relating to its own products or those of third parties, of specific interest to you. The legal basis for this processing is your consent. The provision of data for this purpose is purely optional. Failure to consent to the processing of your personal data for profiling purposes will result in the impossibility for the Data Controller to elaborate your commercial profile, by detecting your purchasing choices and habits, and to send you advertising material relating to products of the Data Controller and/or third parties of specific interest to you.
Transfer of data
The Data Controller does not transfer your personal data to third parties.
Geolocation
When accessing the Site, you may receive a notification on your device (desktop and/or mobile) that will give you the option to allow or not allow the identification of the device itself (so-called geo-localization). You may freely allow or refuse this setting, without this causing substantial changes to the functionality of the Site. You can change the geolocation settings at any time through your device settings. The legal basis for the processing consists of the legitimate interest of the Data Controller to provide services relevant to the user's location. This legitimate interest is equal to the user's interest in receiving services as relevant as possible to their location.
Communication of personal data
In the context of its ordinary activities, the Data Controller may communicate your personal data to certain categories of subjects. In Article 2, you can find the list of subjects to whom the Data Controller communicates your personal data. To facilitate the protection of your rights, Article 2 may specify in some cases when your data is not communicated to third parties.
The "communication" of personal data to third parties is different from the "transfer" (governed in the preceding point). In fact, in communication, the third party to whom the data is transmitted can only use it for the specific purposes described in the relationship with the Data Controller. In transfer, however, the third party becomes an autonomous Data Controller of the personal data. Furthermore, your consent is always required to transfer your personal data to third parties.
Without prejudice to the foregoing, it is understood that the Data Controller may still use your personal data to properly fulfill the obligations required by applicable laws.
