Methods and Location of Data Processing

Processing Methods
The Owner takes appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or destruction of Personal Data.

Processing is carried out using computers and/or IT-enabled tools, following organizational procedures and modes strictly related to the stated purposes. 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 (administrative, sales, marketing, legal, system administration staff) or external parties (such as third-party technical service providers, mail carriers, hosting providers, IT companies, communication 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.

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

  • The User has given 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 legal basis. However, this does not apply when the processing of Personal Data is subject to European data protection laws;
  • Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract 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 necessary for the performance of a task 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 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.

Location
The Data is processed at the Owner’s operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. For further information, contact the Owner.
The User’s Personal Data may be transferred to a country other than their own. To find out more about the place of processing, the User can refer to the section containing details about the processing of Personal Data.

The User is 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 occurs, the User can find out more by checking the relevant sections of this document or inquire with the Owner using the contact details provided at the beginning.

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 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.

When processing is based on the User’s consent, the Owner may retain Personal Data for a longer period until such consent is withdrawn. Furthermore, the Owner may be obliged to retain Personal Data for a longer period whenever required to do so for compliance with a legal obligation or upon order of an authority.

Once the retention period expires, Personal Data shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, delete, rectify, and the right to Data portability cannot be exercised after expiration.
