Mode and place of processing the Data

Processing

The Owner takes appropriate security measures to prevent
unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or unauthorized
destruction of the Data.
The Data processing 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 this Application
(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, if necessary, as Data Processors by the Owner. The updated
list of these parties may be requested from the Owner at any time.

Legitimacy 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.

Place

The Data is processed at the Owner's operating offices and in any
other places where the parties involved in the processing are located.

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.

Users are also entitled to learn about the legal basis of Data
transfers to a country outside the European Union or to any
international organization governed by public international law or set
up by two or more countries, such as the UN, and about the security
measures taken by the Owner to safeguard their Data.

If any such transfer takes place, Users can find out more by checking
the relevant sections of this document or inquire with the Owner using
the information provided in the contact section.

Retention time

Personal Data shall be processed and stored for as long as required by the purpose they have been collected for.

Therefore:

  • Personal Data collected for purposes related to the performance
    of a contract between the Owner and the User shall be retained until
    such contract has been fully performed.
  • Personal Data collected for the purposes of the Owner’s
    legitimate interests shall be retained as long as needed to fulfill such
    purposes. Users may find specific information regarding the legitimate
    interests pursued by the Owner within the relevant sections of this
    document or by contacting the Owner.

The Owner may be allowed to retain Personal Data for a longer
period whenever the User has given consent to such processing, as long
as such consent is not withdrawn. 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.

Once the retention period expires, Personal Data shall be deleted.
Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to
rectification and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after
expiration of the retention period.

The purposes of processing

The Data concerning the User is collected to allow the Owner to
provide its Service, comply with its legal obligations, respond to
enforcement requests, protect its rights and interests (or those of its
Users or third parties), detect any malicious or fraudulent activity, as
well as the following:
