Full details on each type of data collected are provided in the dedicated sections of this privacy policy or through specific information notices displayed prior to data collection.
Personal Data may be freely provided by the User or, in the case of Usage Data, collected automatically during the use of this Application.
Unless otherwise specified, all Data requested by this Application are mandatory. If the User refuses to provide them, it may be impossible for this Application to provide the Service. In cases where this Application specifically states that certain Data are optional, Users are free not to provide such Data without any consequence on the availability or functioning of the Service.
Users who are uncertain about which Data are mandatory are encouraged to contact the Data Controller.
Any use of Cookies—or other tracking tools—by this Application or by the owners of third-party services used by this Application, unless otherwise specified, is intended to provide the Service requested by the User, in addition to the other purposes described in this document and in the Cookie Policy, if available.
The User assumes responsibility for the Personal Data of third parties obtained, published, or shared through this Application and guarantees that they have the right to communicate or disclose such data, releasing the Data Controller from any liability towards third parties.

Methods and Place of Data Processing
Processing Methods
The Data Controller adopts appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or destruction of Personal Data.
Data processing is carried out using IT and/or telematic tools, with organizational procedures and logic strictly related to the stated purposes. In addition to the Data Controller, in some cases other parties involved in the operation of this Application (administrative, commercial, marketing, and legal staff, as well as system administrators) may have access to the Data, as well as external parties (such as third-party technical service providers, postal couriers, hosting providers, IT companies, and communication agencies), who may also be appointed, where necessary, as Data Processors by the Data Controller.
An updated list of Data Processors may be requested at any time from the Data Controller.
Legal Basis for Processing
The Data Controller processes Personal Data relating to the User if one of the following conditions applies:
The User has given consent for one or more specific purposes. Note: in some jurisdictions, the Data Controller may be authorized to process Personal Data without the User’s consent or another of the legal bases specified below, until the User objects (“opt-out”) to such processing. However, this does not apply where the processing of Personal Data is governed by European data protection law.
Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with the User and/or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which the Data Controller 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 Data Controller.
Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Data Controller or by a third party.
In any case, it is always possible to request that the Data Controller clarify the specific legal basis of each processing activity and, in particular, whether the processing is based on law, required by a contract, or necessary to enter into a contract.
Place of Processing
Data are processed at the Data Controller’s operating offices and in any other location where the parties involved in the processing are situated. For further information, please contact the Data Controller.
The User’s Personal Data may be transferred to a country other than the one in which the User is located. To obtain further information on the place of processing, the User may refer to the section detailing the processing of Personal Data.
Where a higher level of protection applies, the User has the right to obtain information regarding the legal basis for the transfer of Data outside the European Union or to an international organization governed by public international law or established by two or more countries, such as the United Nations, as well as the security measures adopted by the Data Controller to protect the Data.

If any of the transfers described above take place, the User may refer to the relevant sections of this document or request further information from the Data Controller using the contact details provided at the beginning.
Retention Period
Data are processed and stored for as long as required by the purposes for which they were collected.
Therefore:
– Personal Data collected for purposes related to the performance of a contract between the Data Controller and the User will be retained until such contract has been fully performed.
– Personal Data collected for purposes related to the legitimate interest of the Data Controller will be retained until that interest has been fulfilled. The User may obtain further information regarding the legitimate interest pursued by the Data Controller in the relevant sections of this document or by contacting the Data Controller.
When processing is based on the User’s consent, the Data Controller may retain Personal Data for a longer period until such consent is withdrawn. In addition, the Data Controller may be required to retain Personal Data for a longer period in compliance with a legal obligation or by order of an authority.

At the end of the retention period, Personal Data will be deleted. Therefore, once this period has expired, the rights of access, erasure, rectification, and data portability can no longer be exercised.
