The Company collects and processes identity data and contact details received from the User and any other useful contact person. The purposes of such processing are the performance of an agreement, customer and order management, accounting, and direct marketing activities, such as sending promotional or commercial information.

The User is responsible for the accuracy and updating of the personal data they provide to the Company and undertakes to strictly comply with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation with regard to the persons whose personal data they have transmitted, as well as with regard to all possible personal data they may receive from their own customers.
Personal data are stored and processed for a period necessary in view of the purposes of processing and the relationship (contractual or otherwise). Users’ data will in any event be removed from our systems after a period of 7 years or, in the case of a contract, after a period of 7 years following its termination, except with regard to personal data that we are required to keep for longer on the basis of specific legislation or in the event of ongoing litigation for which the personal data are necessary.
