This policy, together with the Cookie Policy, establishes the basis on which Users’ personal data will be processed.

The Data Controller of personal data collected through the Site is: GIULIO VANZAN, with registered office in Capoliveri (LI) Località Alberi 2, 57031, C.F. VNZGLI83H02E682K (hereinafter “Data Controller“), e-mail address: giulio.vanzan[@]gmail.com

 

Methods of Processing Personal Data

We hold in the highest regard the right to privacy and protection of our Users’ personal data, which will be lawfully processed.

The Personal Data provided or acquired will be subject to Processing based on the principles of fairness, lawfulness, transparency and protection of confidentiality in accordance with current regulations, through appropriate security measures aimed at preventing unauthorized access, disclosure, modification or destruction of Personal Data.

Processing is carried out by means of computer and/or telematic tools, with organizational methods and logic strictly related to the indicated purposes.

 

Personal data processed

When you visit the Site, contact us (by email, phone, mail, etc.), subscribe to our newsletter, or place an order, we process some of your Personal Data, either independently or through third parties.

We list the categories of personal data processed:

  1. Identification and Contact Data: first and last name, email address, telephone number (optional), as well as any other Personal Data voluntarily disclosed by the User.
  2. Browsing data: related to the connection, IP addresses, domain names and other parameters related to the browser and operating system used;
  3. Usage Data: information generated by visiting the Site or making purchases on it: log data, data related to registrations made, interaction and transaction processes, performance indicators, data related to navigation flows and use of features;

 

    Purpose of Processing and Legal Basis

    The Data Controller will process Users’ Personal Data, as listed above, in order to carry out its economic and business activities, for the specific purposes set out below.

    1. Purposes inherent in the free download, the Contract and the Legal Obligations

    a. Site Navigation;

    b. Assistance and customer care activities as well as to respond to requests, complaints, reports and objections from Users via email to the Controller’s addresses or through other communication channels;

    c. Download the free resource in e-book format made available through the Site;

    d. Handling of User requests via remote communication tools, such as e-mail, chat, banners, notification systems, and other remote communication tools on the Site;

    e. Fulfillment of obligations arising from applicable laws, regulations or EU legislation (e.g., tax and accounting obligations) or management of and response to requests from relevant administrative, tax and judicial authorities;

    f. Activities of an administrative, accounting and tax nature such as activities related to the contract concluded through the Site, such as, but not limited to, issuing receipts and/or invoices, keeping accounting records;

    g. Responding to requests to exercise the rights granted to Users by the contract entered into with the Controller, by the law in relation to that contract, or by the GDPR, and consequent activities.

    For these purposes, the Legal Basis is the consent to the processing of one’s personal data (Art. 6.1a), the need to execute pre-contractual and contractual obligations to which the User is a party (Art. 6.1.b) of the GDPR) or the fulfillment of legal obligations to which the Controller is subject (Art. 6.1.c) of the GDPR).

    Therefore, their processing is necessary to enable the performance of activities related to consent and pre-contractual obligations through the Site or to respond to requests made by the User in connection with the Site. Failure to provide the data, therefore, will result in the impossibility for the User to carry out the activities indicated above through the Site and/or to receive a response to the requests made.

    2. Non-consent-based purposes

    h. Ensuring compliance with the Data Controller’s contractual rights, i.e., demonstrating that it has fulfilled its obligations arising from its contract with the data subject or imposed by law, to prevent and/or suppress fraudulent or harmful actions;

    The legal basis for this processing is legitimate interest (Art. 6.1(f) of the Regulations). Sometimes the Legal Basis consists of legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) in conjunction with Recital 47 of the Regulations), for sending transactional email communications (e.g., abandoned shopping cart).

    3. Direct Marketing Purposes

    i. With the User’s consent, we will send commercial emails to show him/her updates, news, offers and promotions, market research, including through automated processing tools such as emails and newsletters.

    For this purpose, the processing, including the final decision about the promotional communication to be sent or displayed to the user based on the cluster(s) they belong to, is done in an automated way, without human intervention, based on algorithms whose parameters have been previously set.

    The legal basis is the User’s express consent to the processing of personal data for these purposes (Art. 6.1.a) of the Regulations. Providing data for these purposes is optional. In case of non-consent, revocation of the same or exercise of the right to object, the User’s ability to make purchases on the Site will not be affected in any way.

     

    Modification of choices and withdrawal of consent

    In case of granting consent, the User may at any time revoke the consent given and/or object to the processing of personal data for generic marketing and profiling purposes through the modalities indicated in the section ‘Rights of Data Subjects’ later in this policy.

    If consent is withdrawn, processing carried out on the basis of consent given before its withdrawal will still be considered legitimate. If you withdraw your consent and/or object to the processing of your data for the purpose of generic marketing, your data will no longer be processed for that purpose and will only be retained by the Data Controller in the circumstance that there is another legal basis that legitimizes its processing (e.g., contractual performance; legal obligation; legitimate interest).

     

    Storage time

    The Controller will process Users’ personal data for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes for which such data were collected, as defined in this policy. However, for each of the stated purposes, the personal data collected will be kept for the time specified below:

    1. For the purposes inherent to pre-contractual obligations or downloading executable through the Site, the Data Controller will process the User’s data for the time strictly necessary to carry out the individual processing activities, it being understood that, once this period has expired, the Data Controller may retain the data for the purposes and for the maximum retention periods referred to in the other sections of this notice, if relevant and/or, in any case, in the cases established by the GDPR and/or the law.
    2. For tax, administrative, accounting, and legal purposes, until the expiration of the statutory time limits prescribed for the performance of each fulfillment and/or the retention periods prescribed by law.
    3. For purposes based on the legitimate interest of the Controller, the Controller will process the User’s data for as long as is strictly necessary for the satisfaction of that interest, unless, in the face of disputes and/or complaints, the Controller needs to retain personal data in order to carry out defense activities (subsection h) for the next 10 years (of limitation) or, in the case of litigation, further retention is determined by the duration of the litigation or by specific requests from the authority. The User can obtain more information about the legitimate interest pursued by contacting the Owner.
    4. For the purpose of direct marketing, as long as consent is not withdrawn and in any case for a period equal to 24 months from when consent was given or renewed by the User, on the occasion of a new purchase or from the date of the last contact with the User, by which is meant, for example, the opening of the newsletter.

    After these retention times, the Personal Data will be deleted and the User will no longer be able to exercise the rights of access, deletion, rectification and portability of the Data.

     

    Communication and dissemination of data

    In addition to the Owner, in some cases, they may have access to the Data:

    1. Individuals involved in the organization of the Website (for example: administrative, sales, marketing personnel);

    3. Public or private entities that can access the Data in accordance with the law, regulations and measures issued by the competent authorities;
    4. potential purchasers of the Holder company and entities resulting from the merger or any other form of transformation.
