How we guarantee the security of the personal data

The security of your personal data is of great importance to MAFRA

We make use of the latest technologies. Our website is stored on secure servers which are protected from the most common types of attacks. However, we would like to remind you that all technology is vulnerable technology. That is why you must use the means at your disposal to maintain the security level of your data. We especially recommend that you use strong passwords for access to your account. We also recommend that you change the password with a certain regularity (at least once a year) and that, if you suspect that a third party may know your password, you change it immediately.

Summary of our Privacy Policy

Our privacy policy is based on the following principles:

• 1. we process data exclusively for the purposes and in accordance with the methods mentioned in the information notice presented at the time of their collection;
• 2. we use the data for purposes other than the ones for which they were specifically released only if we have the express consent from the user;
• 3. we make the data available to third-party companies only for purposes that are fundamental to the provision of the service requested and in the context of the appointment of a data processor; we do not disclose the data, give them or transfer them to third parties for processing without first informing the users and having acquired their consent;
• 4. we reply to all requests for erasure, modification, integration of the data provided, to the objection to the processing of the data for sending commercial and advertising information;
• 5. we ensure the correct and lawful management of the data, safeguarding the privacy of users; we also apply appropriate security measures for the protection, integrity and availability of the data provided.

How and why we process your personal data

Processing on personal data is performed mainly through electronic and telematic methods by MA-FRA and other persons who, selected especially for their reliability and competence, carry out operations that are instrumental to achieving the purposes strictly connected to the use of the website, of its services and to the purchase of products via the website (see below, paragraph “Persons who may process your personal data”).

The specific purposes of the processing of the data are summarised, each time, in the information notice of article 13 of European Regulation 679/2016, which is presented to the user when he/she provides personal data.

In general, the data are processed for the provision of the following services that are available by accessing our website:

• 1. registration to the website, to avail of the related services;
• 2. registration to specific additional services;
• 3. fulfilment of orders and related activities;
• 4. management of your requests: technical, commercial, on the status of your orders and requests for information in a broader sense;
• 5. for contact with the representatives of our services.

During the processing that may, directly or indirectly, identify you, we try to respect the principle of strict necessity. For this reason, we have configured the website in such a way as to reduce the use of your personal data to a minimum: therefore, your data shall not be processed when the purposes in individual cases may be achieved by the use of anonymous data (e.g. market surveys aimed at the improvement of services) or with other methods that allow the identification of the data subject only in case of need or on the request of the authorities and the police (e.g. for data related to traffic and to the duration of your stay on the website or your IP address).

Your data will be transmitted to third parties only with your explicit consent, except in cases where disclosure is mandatory by the law or necessary for purposes envisaged by the law for which the consent of the data subject is not sought; in such cases, the data may be made available to third parties that will process them independently and solely for the aforementioned purposes (e.g. in case of a request by the police or the judicial authorities or other competent bodies, or in order to fulfil obligations arising from the contract stipulated with you).

Any processing purpose other than the specific one for which you provided your personal data will be shown in the information notice and will be followed up by MA-FRA only with your explicit consent.

There are also instances of processing whereby the rules and regulations provide for the exclusion of consent: for example, we would like to inform you that MA-FRA may process your personal data without obtaining your consent when this is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation or if it is necessary for the performance of our contractual obligations to you (if you have purchased products or have asked to use specific services through our website).

MA-FRA may on occasion processes personal data of third parties directly provided by its users: for example, if the user has purchased a product as a gift for a friend or when the person who pays the purchase price is not the same person for whom the product is destined, or when the user wants to show a service or the availability of a certain product to a friend.

In those cases, where a user has processed the personal data of third parties, said person will be solely and exclusively responsible for the disclosure of information and data related to third parties without such parties having expressed their consent, or for their incorrect or unlawful use.

We may also have to share your data to fulfil legal obligations or obey rules or regulations or if our business (or a portion of it) is sold and the buyer requires your personal information for the performance of services.
