Type and location of data processing

Methods of Processing
The Provider processes the Users’ Data in a proper manner and takes appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or unauthorized destruction of the Data.
The Data processing is carried out using computers or IT-enabled systems, following organizational procedures and modes strictly related to the purposes indicated. In addition to the Controller, in some cases, the Data may be accessible to certain types of persons in charge, involved with the operation of this Application (administration, sales, marketing, legal, system administration) or external parties (such as third-party technical service providers, mail carriers, hosting providers, IT companies, communications agencies) appointed, if necessary, as Data Processors by the Controller. The updated list of these parties may be requested from the Provider at any time.

Legal Basis of Processing
The Provider may process Personal Data relating to Users if one of the following applies:

– Users have given their consent for one or more specific purposes. Note: Under some legislations the Provider may be allowed to process Personal Data until the User objects to such processing (““opt-out””), without having to rely on consent or any other of the following legal bases. This, however, does not apply whenever the processing of Personal Data is subject to European data protection law;
– provision of Data is necessary for the performance of an agreement with the User and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof;
– processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the Provider is subject;
– processing is related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Provider;
– processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Provider or by a third party.

In any case, the provider will gladly provide information on the specific legal basis on which the processing is based, in particular whether the provision of personal data is a legal or contractual obligation or a prerequisite for the conclusion of a contract.

Place
The Data is processed at the Provider’s operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved with the processing are located. Depending on the User’s location, Data transfers may involve transferring the User’s Data to a country other than their own. To find out more about the place of processing of such transferred Data, Users can check the section containing details about the processing of Personal Data. Users are also entitled to learn about the legal basis of Data transfers to a country outside the European Union or to any international organization governed by public international law or set up by two or more countries, such as the UN, and about the security measures taken by the Provider to safeguard their Data.
If any such transfer takes place, Users can find out more by checking the relevant sections of this document or inquire with the Provider using the information provided in the contact section.

Furthermore, the Provider may be obliged to retain Personal Data for a longer period whenever required to do so for the performance of a legal obligation or by order of an authority. Once the retention period expires, Personal Data shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification and the right to Data portability cannot be enforced after expiration of the retention period.
