PERSONAL DATA SUBJECT TO PROCESSING

We inform you that the personal data subject to processing may consist of an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more characteristic elements of your physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social identity capable of making you identified or identifiable, depending on the type of services requested.

Below we list the processing of personal data through this site:

• Navigation data

The computer systems and software procedures used to operate the Site acquire, during their normal operation, some personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols. This information is not collected to be associated with identified interested parties, but by its very nature could, through processing and association with data held by third parties, allow users to be identified. This category of data includes the IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by users connecting to the Site, the addresses in URL notation of the resources requested, the time of the request, the method used in submitting the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in response, the numerical code indicating the status of the response given by the server (successful, error, etc.) and other parameters relating to the user's operating system and computer environment. These data are used for the sole purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information on the use of the Site to check its correct functioning, to identify anomalies and/or abuses; in any case, they are deleted immediately after processing. The data could be used to ascertain responsibility in case of hypothetical computer crimes against the Site or third parties.

• Data voluntarily provided by the user

Without prejudice to the reference to specific information contained therein, this Privacy Policy is understood to be rendered also for the processing of data voluntarily entered by you

in the various forms contained within the Site.

With respect to this hypothesis, You stand as an autonomous data controller, assuming all the obligations and responsibilities of the law. In this sense, You confer on this point the widest indemnity with respect to any dispute, claim, request for compensation for damages from processing, etc. that may be received by the Data Controller from third parties, whose personal data have been processed through your use of the services of the Site in violation of the applicable data protection regulations. In any case, should you provide or otherwise process personal data of third parties in the use of the Site, you warrant as of now - assuming all related liability - that this particular hypothesis of processing is based, where necessary, on the prior acquisition - on your part - of the third party's consent to the processing of the information about you.

LEGAL BASIS AND OBLIGATORY OR OPTIONAL NATURE OF THE PROCESSING

The legal basis for the processing of personal data for the above purposes is Article 6( 1 )(b) of the Regulation ([...]the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or for the performance of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject), as the processing is necessary for the provision of services. The provision of personal data for these purposes is optional, but failure to do so would make it impossible to activate the services requested.

The purpose to fulfil any obligations under applicable laws represents a legitimate processing of personal data under Article 6( 1 )(c) of the Regulation ([...]the processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which the data controller is subject). Indeed, once personal data have been provided, the processing is indeed necessary to fulfil legal obligations to which the Controller is subject.

The processing carried out for the purposes of marketing, profiling and communication to Third Party Companies of the Group is based on the granting of your consent in accordance with Article 6( 1 )(a) ([...] the data subject has given consent to the processing of his/her personal data for one or more specific purposes) and Article 22( 2 )(c) of the Regulations. The provision of your personal data for these purposes is therefore entirely optional and does not affect the use of the services. Should you wish to object to the processing of your data for the purposes of marketing, profiling or communication, you may do so at any time by contacting the Data Controller at the contact details indicated in the “Contact Us” section of this notice. With reference to the purpose of direct marketing by e-mail, it should be noted that if the Data Controller uses, for the purpose of direct sales of its own products or services, the e-mail coordinates provided by the data subject in the context of the sale of a product, it may, pursuant to Article 130, paragraph 4 of the Code, not require the consent of the data subject, provided that the products in question are similar to those being sold and the data subject, adequately informed, does not refuse such use, either initially or on the occasion of subsequent communications. It should also be noted that processing for statistical purposes is not performed on personal data and therefore can be freely carried out by the Data Controller.

RECIPIENTS OF PERSONAL DATA

Your personal data may be shared with:

• parties that typically act as data processors pursuant to art. 29 of the Code and 28 of the Regulations, i.e.: i) persons, companies or professional firms that provide assistance and consultancy to F&B EVENTS in accounting, administrative, legal, tax and financial matters; ii) parties delegated to carry out technical maintenance activities; iii) credit institutions, insurance companies and brokers;

• subjects, entities or authorities to whom it is mandatory to communicate your personal data by virtue of legal provisions or orders of the authorities;

• persons authorized by the Data Controller, pursuant to Article 30 of the Code and 29 of the Regulations, to process personal data necessary to carry out activities strictly related to the provision of services, who have committed themselves to confidentiality or have an appropriate legal obligation of confidentiality;

These individuals are, hereinafter, collectively referred to as “Recipients.” A full list of the data processors is available by sending a written request to the Data Controller at the contact details listed in the “Contact Us” section of this policy.

More information is available by sending a written request to the Data Controller at the address provided in the “Contact Us” section of this policy.

STORAGE OF PERSONAL DATA

Personal data processed for the above purposes will be kept for the time strictly necessary to achieve those same purposes. In any case, since the processing is carried out for the provision of services, the Data Controller will retain personal data for the period of time provided for and allowed by Italian law to protect its interests (Art. 2946 c.c. et seq.).

Personal data processed for the purposes previously described will be kept until the time provided for by the specific obligation or rule of law applicable.

For the purposes to carry out direct marketing, your personal data will be processed until you object to the processing.

On the other hand, for the purposes of sending you communications and analysing your preferences, your personal data will be processed for a maximum period of seven years, starting from their registration, in accordance with the provision issued by the Garante for the protection of personal data following a request for preliminary verification pursuant to Article 17 of the Code submitted by the Data Controller. Further information on the data retention period and the criteria used to determine this period may be requested in writing from the Data Controller using the contact details indicated in the ‘Contact Us’ section of this notice.
