Personal data will generally be retained for as long as the purposes of the processing remain valid, depending on the category of data processed.

As regards our mailing list, the data will be kept until you withdraw your consent to receive our newsletter or, at most, until the ordinary limitation period of 10 years from the time you voluntarily provided your data has elapsed.

Consequences of refusing to provide the data

Providing the data collected from the data subject is optional but essential for processing it. If data subjects do not provide their essential data and do not allow its processing, it will not be possible to provide and implement the proposed services or to fulfil the contractual obligations undertaken, with consequent prejudice to the correct fulfilment of legal obligations, such as accounting, tax and administrative obligations, etc.

Apart from what is specified for browsing data, users are free to provide personal data for cookies and for specific requests through forms, e.g. regarding products and/or services. Failure to provide such data may make it impossible to obtain what was requested. Providing all non-essential data, including data belonging to special categories, is optional. In the absence of consent, or if certain data, including data belonging to special categories, is provided incompletely or incorrectly, the required obligations may be so incomplete as to cause prejudice, either in terms of penalties or loss of benefits, both because it is impossible to ensure that the processing is appropriate to the obligations for which it is carried out and because the results of the processing may not correspond to the obligations imposed by the laws to which it is addressed; the undersigned organisation is hereby released from any and all liability for any penalties or punitive measures.

Transfers outside the EU

Processing will take place mainly in Italy and the EU, but may also take place in non-EU and non-EEA countries where this is deemed useful for the efficient fulfilment of the purposes pursued, in compliance with the safeguards in favour of data subjects. Finally, processing that takes place in non-EU and non-EEA countries when, at the data subject's request, connections to the site originate from such countries is outside the responsibility of the Data Controller.

Categories of recipients

The data (only essential data) is disclosed:

• to persons authorised to process data and to data processors, both within and outside our organisation, who carry out specific tasks and operations (site administration, analysis of browsing and traffic data, management of emails and forms voluntarily sent by the user, handling of requests, etc.);
• in the cases and to the persons provided for by law

The data will not be disseminated unless required by law or after anonymisation. Without prejudice to what is specified for cookies and third-party elements, without the data subject's prior general consent to disclosure to third parties, only services that do not involve such disclosure can be provided. Where necessary, specific consent will be requested and the parties receiving the data will use it as independent controllers.

In some cases (not part of the ordinary management of this site), the Authority may request information for the purpose of supervising the processing of personal data. In such cases, a reply is mandatory under penalty of an administrative sanction.
