Personal Data may be freely provided by the User, or, in the case of Usage Data, collected automatically when using the website.
Unless specified otherwise, all Data requested by the website is mandatory and failure to provide this Data may make it impossible for the website to provide its services. In cases where the website specifically states that some Data is not mandatory, Users are free to stop communicating this Data without any consequences for the availability or the functioning of the Service.

Mode and place of processing the Data


Methods of processing

The Owner shall take appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or unauthorized destruction of the Data.

The Owner assumes the implementation of appropriate physical, electronic and management processes to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access to personal information and to preserve the security of the Data. These processes take into account the sensitivity of the information we collect, process and store and the current state of technology. The Owner follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted, both during transmission and once it is received, including the use of electronic vaults and tokenization services from external service providers. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while the Owner may use commercially acceptable means to protect personal information, it cannot, however, guarantee its absolute security and consequent use in a manner inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

The Owner assumes no responsibility for information that is disclosed as a result of errors in transmission, unauthorized third-party access or other causes beyond its direct control. The User is recommended to act responsibly as they must also play an important role in protecting their information. The User should not share the username, password or other sensitive information about their account with anyone. If the Owner receives instructions with username and password, it will always assume that these instructions have been previously authorized.

The processing of the Data is carried out using computers and/or IT enabled tools, following organizational procedures and modes strictly related to the purposes indicated. In addition to the Owner, in some cases, the Data may be accessible to certain types of persons in charge, involved with the operation of the website (administration, sales, marketing, legal, system administration) or external parties (such as third-party technical service providers, mail carriers, hosting providers, IT companies, communications agencies) appointed, when necessary, as Data Processors by the Owner. The updated list of these parties may be requested from the Owner at any time.


Legal basis of processing

The Owner may process Personal Data relating to Users if one of the following applies:

  • Users have given their consent for one or more specific purposes; Note: Under some legislations the Owner may be allowed to process Personal Data UNTIL the User objects to such processing (“opt-out”), without having to rely on consent or any other of the following legal bases. This, however, does not apply, whenever the processing of Personal Data is subject to European data protection law;
  • provision of Data is necessary for the performance of an agreement with the User and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof;
  • processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the Owner is subject;
  • processing is related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Owner;
  • processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Owner or by a third party;

In any case, the Owner will gladly help to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of Personal Data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

Depending on the User's location, data transfers may involve transferring the User's Data to a country other than their own. To find out more about the place of processing of such transferred Data, Users can check the section containing details about the processing of Personal Data.

Furthermore, the Owner may be obliged to retain Personal Data for a longer period whenever required to do so for the performance of a legal obligation or upon order of an authority.
