The personal data processed will be limited exclusively and be relevant to the operation of the functions of the WEBSITE with which the user/data subject has registered.
The personal data will be correct and if necessary updated according to the instructions of the user/data subject during registration.
The personal data will be kept for the period necessary for the activities that are the object of the permitted processing and for a maximum further period of 2 (two) months from the end of the permitted processing. In all cases, the processing can never exceed ten years, without express renewal of the consent thereto given by the data subject.
Personal data will be processed using suitable methods to ensure their security and prevent their loss or destruction (even partial).
The personal data will be acquired and processed also for the purposes prescribed by anti-money laundering legislation as introduced by Council Directive 2001/97/EC on prevention of the use of the financial system for the purpose of money laundering by Italian Legislative Decree 56/2004 and subsequent amendments and transposing additions and by implementing Italian ministerial decrees, and it is known that such data may be divulged to the UIC (Italian Foreign Exchange Office) to ascertain correct compliance with the aforesaid obligations.
Providing the personal data is merely optional and not an obligation, unless required by law, but is necessary for registering with the WEBSITE and the corresponding consent to processing is a condition for registration. The personal data are provided whenever the data subject accesses the WEBSITE for registration and accesses it to manage/use the services offered by it and connects his or her account to a site of third parties on his or her account of the WEBSITE, where permitted by the latter.
If the data are not provided that are necessary for registration and browsing, the membership of the WEBSITE cannot be accepted and/or continued and the account cannot be enabled or will be erased if authorisation to renew personal data processing is denied.
If the data subject is authorised to use mobile applications connected to the WEBSITE, also the data relating to the position of the data subject are provided, stored and processed, including general information (e.g. IP address, post code), and more specific information (e.g. functions based on GPS found in mobile devices that are used to access the platform or specific functions of the platform). If the data subject accesses the WEBSITE from a mobile device and does not want the device to provide information on his or her position, he or she can disable the GPS or the other tracking functions of the position in the device provided that this is permitted by the device.
The WEBSITE could enable third parties previously authorised by the user/data subject to gather information on the online activities of the users, also for profiling purchases made by the user and for commercial purposes.
The data subject allows personal data to be transmitted to third parties (e.g. website suppliers for managing and maintaining the website and the management programmes used in the controller’s organisation).
The data subject undertakes to keep the personal data up to date and for this purpose will inform the controller of any need for modifications or updating.

4. Log Data and Analytics
The user/data subject is aware of the processing of the log data, which are automatically recorded by our servers or server spaces, which are also located with third parties, each time that the user/data subject accesses the WEBSITE or uses it, whether he or she is a registered user or not or has accessed his or her account; such data are, for example, IP address, date and time of access, the hardware and software used for access, the websites and URLs which he or she comes from and moves to after ours, number of clicks, pages viewed and the order of such pages, as well as the amount of time spent on specific pages. Such data also require separate consent that the data subject already gives to the controller, who performs search engine tasks on the website, browsers (e.g. Google) and can be used for analytics services (e.g. Google Analytics – anonymised by the IP’s anonymisation function) and to track the activities of the user/data subject following the interaction with the WEBSITE.

5. Cookies
No personal data of the users are acquired by the WEBSITE via so-called cookies. Cookies are not used to transmit information of a personal nature and no persistent cookies of any type are used, i.e. systems for tracking users. The use of session cookies (which are not stored persistently in the user’s computer and disappear when the browser is shut down) is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (consisting of random numbers generated by the server) that are necessary for enabling the website to be explored securely and efficiently. The session cookies used in this website make it unnecessary to resort to other IT techniques that are potential threats to the confidentiality of the users’ browsing and do not allow personal data identifying the user to be acquired. The cookies for integrating software products and functions of third parties (Google Maps, YouTube videos, social network integrations, online payments, etc.) supplement functions developed by third parties within the pages of the website in order to share website content or for using the software services of third parties (such as the software for generating the maps and further software that provides additional services). These cookies are sent from third-party domains and from partner websites that offer their functions on the pages of the website. You can view the management of the cookies of your browser on the website of the relative producer (e.g.: Apple Safari, Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, etc).
The data subject can disable cookies by the settings of his or her browser, but the methods and processing of the data will change following a "Do Not Track" signal in the http header from his or her browser or mobile application. The activities of the data subject are tracked if he or she clicks on an advertisement for WEBSITE services on websites or platforms of third parties such as search engines and social networks.

6. Social Plug-ins
The WEBSITE may use social plug-ins supplied and managed by third parties, such as for example Facebook’s Like button; by using similar plug-ins, the data subject could send third parties information that the data subject is viewing a given part of the WEBSITE. If the data subject has not logged into his or her account with third parties, the third party should not be aware of the data subject’s identity without consent to processing of personal data being given by the data subject directly to the third party. If the data subject has logged into his or her account with the third party, the third party could be able to link information to the data subject’s visit to the WEBSITE to the data subject’s account with the third party. Similarly, the data subject’s interactions with the social plug-in could be recorded by the third party. These methods of access to the data of the data subject by the third party is unrelated to the functions of the WEBSITE and the data are not processed by the controller or the processor of the WEBSITE, but by the third party whom the data subject should have authorised to process the data. The data subject declares that he or she is familiar with the privacy policy of such third parties and their methods of processing personal data and declares that he or she has validly authorised such data processing, exonerating the WEBSITE controller and processor from liability.
