HOW WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA SAFE

The Company employs a vast range of security measures in order to optimise the protection, security, integrity and accessibility of your personal data.

All of your personal data is stored on our secure servers (or as secure hard copies) or on secure servers belonging to our suppliers or commercial partners. The data is accessible and usable in accordance with our security standards and policies (or the equivalent standards of our suppliers or commercial partners).

HOW LONG WE STORE YOUR DATA FOR

We only store your personal data for the time necessary to pursue the purposes for which it was collected and for any other legitimate related purpose. Therefore, if your personal data has been processed for two different purposes, we will store your data until both purposes have been fulfilled. However, once one of those purposes has been achieved, we will no longer process your personal data for that purpose.

Only those people who need to use your personal data for relevant purposes shall have access to it.

Where personal data is no longer necessary - or there are no longer legal grounds for storing it - it shall be made anonymous in an irreversible manner (and stored in this manner) or securely destroyed.

Below are the storage periods relating to the above purposes:

a) Fulfilment of contractual obligations: data processed in order to comply with any type of contractual obligation may be stored for the full duration of the contract and for no longer than ten years after the duration of the contract, in order to allow us to deal with any outstanding matters, such as accounting documentation (e.g. invoices).

b) Operational management and purposes strictly related to access to the website: data processed for this reason may be stored for the full duration of the contract and for no longer than ten years after the duration of the contract.

c) Customer satisfaction surveys: data processed for this reason may be stored for 24 months from the date we receive your most recent consent for this purpose (except where you have opted out of receiving additional correspondence). To coordinate with letter (c) from the previous paragraph.

d) Marketing: data processed for marketing purposes may be stored for 24 months from the date we receive your most recent consent for this purpose (except where you have opted out of receiving additional correspondence).

e) In the event of a dispute: in the event that we are forced to defend ourselves, take action or bring a claim against your or a third party, we may store personal data we consider to be reasonably necessary for such data processing purposes for the period in which such a claim may be pursued.

WHO WE CAN SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITH

Persons who may have access to your personal data include authorised employees and external suppliers who have - if necessary - been named parties responsible for data processing where these provide service support.

Other companies controlled by Gruppo Cimbali S.p.a. may also have access to your personal data for purposes relating to IT infrastructure management, as per specific contractual agreements, as well as for marketing purposes, on the provision that you grant your consent for this (see letter (e)).
