Cookie Policy

This Application makes use of Tracking Tools. To learn more, Users may consult the Cookie Policy.

For the sake of simplicity, in this document these technologies are briefly referred to as “Tracking Tools”, unless there is reason to differentiate.

Some of the purposes for which Tracking Tools are used may also require the User’s consent. If consent is given, it can be freely revoked at any time by following the instructions contained in this document.

This Application uses Tracking Tools managed directly by the Owner (commonly called “first party” Tracking Tools) and Tracking Tools that enable services provided by third parties (commonly called “third party” Tracking Tools). Unless otherwise specified within this document, such third parties have access to their respective Tracking Tools.
Duration and expiry of Cookies and other similar Tracking Tools may vary depending on what is set by the Controller or each third party provider. Some of them expire at the end of the User’s browsing session.
In addition to what is specified in the description of each of the categories below, Users can obtain more detailed and updated information on the duration, as well as any other relevant information – such as the presence of other Tracking Tools – in the privacy policies of the respective third party providers (through the links provided) or by contacting the Controller.

Further information for users

Legal basis for processing
The Controller processes Personal Data relating to the User where one of the following conditions exists:

• the User has given consent for one or more specific purposes; Note: in some jurisdictions, the Controller may be authorised to process Personal Data without the need for the User’s consent or another of the legal bases specified below, as long as the User does not object (“opt-out”) to such processing. However, this does not apply if the processing of Personal Data is governed by European legislation on the protection of Personal Data;
• processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with the User and/or the performance of pre-contractual measures;
• processing is necessary for the performance of a legal obligation to which the Controller is subject;
• processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of public authority vested in the Controller;
• processing is necessary for the pursuit of the legitimate interest of the Controller or of third parties.

However, it is always possible to request the Controller to clarify the concrete legal basis of each processing and in particular to specify whether the processing is based on law, required by a contract or necessary to conclude a contract.

Further information on storage time
Unless otherwise stated in this document, Personal Data are processed and kept for the time required by the purpose for which they were collected and may be kept for a longer period due to any legal obligation or on the basis of Users’ consent.
Therefore:

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

When the processing is based on the User’s consent, the Data Controller may keep the Personal Data longer until such consent is revoked. Moreover, the Controller may be obliged to keep the Personal Data for a longer period in compliance with a legal obligation or by order of an authority.

At the end of the retention period the Personal Data will be deleted. Therefore, at the end of this period, the right of access, deletion, rectification and the right to Data portability can no longer be exercised.

User Rights
Users may exercise certain rights with reference to the Data processed by the Data Controller.
In particular, within the limits provided for by law, the User has the right to:

• revoke consent at any time. The User may revoke the consent to the processing of its Personal Data previously expressed.
• the User may object to the processing of its Data. The User may object to the processing of his Data when it is done on a legal basis other than consent.
• access to their Data. The User has the right to obtain information on the Data processed by the Controller, on certain aspects of the processing and to receive a copy of the Data processed.
• verify and ask for rectification. The User may check the correctness of its Data and request that it be updated or corrected.
• obtain the limitation of processing. The User may request the restriction of the processing of its Data. In this case, the Data Controller will not process the Data for any purpose other than its storage.
• obtain the deletion or removal of their Personal Data. The User may request the deletion of his/her Data by the Controller.
• receive their Data or have them transferred to another data controller. The User has the right to receive his or her Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and, where technically feasible, to have it transferred without hindrance to another data controller.
• propose a complaint. The User may lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority or take legal action.

Users have the right to obtain information about the legal basis for the transfer of Data abroad, including to any international organisation governed by international law or consisting of two or more countries, such as the UN, as well as about the security measures taken by the Data Controller to protect their Data.

 

Details of the right to object

Where Personal Data are processed in the public interest, in the exercise of public authority vested in the Controller or in pursuit of a legitimate interest of the Controller, Users have the right to object to the processing on grounds relating to their particular situation.
Users are reminded that, should their Data be processed for direct marketing purposes, they may object to the processing at any time, free of charge and without providing any reasons. Should Users object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, their Personal Data shall no longer be processed for such purposes. To find out whether the Controller processes Data for direct marketing purposes, Users may refer to the respective sections of this document.

How to exercise rights
To exercise their rights, Users may address a request to the Controller’s contact details indicated in this document. The request may be filed free of charge and the Controller will respond as soon as possible, in any case within one month, providing the User with all the information required by law.

The Controller shall inform the User of such recipients if he so requests.
