How and for how long is your data stored?

How

Data processing is carried out by specially authorised and trained internal staff using hard-copy or computerised procedures. These staff are allowed access to your personal data to the extent and within the limits necessary for the performance of the processing activities concerning you.

The Data Controller periodically checks the means by which your data are processed and the security measures in place, which must be kept up to date. The Data Controller also verifies, including through authorised data processors, that no unnecessary personal data is collected, processed, archived or stored. Lastly, the Data Controller checks that data is stored with guaranteed integrity and authenticity and that they are actually used for the purposes of the processing.

For how long

The personal data processed by the Data Controller is kept for the time necessary to perform the activities related to the management of the contract with the Data Controller and for up to ten years after its conclusion (art. 2946 Italian Civil Code) or from when the rights granted by it can be enforced (art. 2935 Italian Civil Code), for the fulfilment of obligations (e.g. tax and accounting requirements) that remain even after the conclusion of the contract (art. 2220 Italian Civil Code), for which purposes the Data Controller must retain only the necessary data. The above is without prejudice to cases in which the rights deriving from the contract need to be asserted in court, in which case only your data needed for such purposes, will be processed for the time necessary to pursue these actions.

Personal data processed by the Data Controller for marketing purposes (direct, research and market surveys) will be kept for 24 months by the Data Controller, unless you revoke the consent you have given and/or unless you object to the processing.

What are your rights?

Essentially, you can do the following at any time, free of charge and without any particular requirements or formalities:

  • obtain confirmation of the processing carried out by the Data Controller;
  • access your personal data and know its origin (when the data is not obtained from you directly), the purposes and aims of the processing, information about the persons to whom it is communicated, the storage period of your data or the criteria used to determine it;
  • withdraw consent at any time if this constitutes the basis for the processing. The withdrawal of consent shall not in any case affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal;
  • update or rectify your personal data so that it is always accurate and precise;
  • delete your personal data from the Data Controller’s databases and/or archives, including backup archives, if for example they are no longer necessary for the purposes of the processing or if this is assumed to be unlawful, provided that the conditions set forth in law are met; and in any case if the processing is not justified by another equally legitimate reason;
  • restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example where you have challenged its accuracy, for the period necessary for the Data Controller to verify its accuracy. You must also be promptly informed of when the suspension period has expired or the cause of the restriction of processing has ceased to exist, and thus the restriction itself revoked;
  • obtain your personal data, if received and/or processed by the Data Controller with your consent and/or if their processing is carried out on the basis of a contract and with automated tools, in electronic format also for the purpose of transmitting them to another data controller.

The Data Controller shall do the above without delay and, in any case, no later than one month after receiving your request. That period may be extended by two further months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of the requests received by the Data Controller. In such cases, the Data Controller will inform you within one month of receiving your request and will inform you of the reasons for the extension.

How and when can you object to the processing of your personal data?

For reasons relating to your particular situation, you may object at any time to the processing of your personal data if it is based on legitimate interest or if it concerns the processing of personal data provided subject to your consent, by sending your request to the Data Controller at privacy@santonishoesit.com.

You have the right to the erasure of your personal data if there is no legitimate reason prevailing over that which gave rise to your request, and in any case if you have objected to the processing.

Who can you complain to?

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial action, you may file a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority, i.e. the authority discharging its duties and exercising its powers in Italy where you have your permanent residence or place of work or, if otherwise, in the Member State where the breach of EU Regulation 2016/679 occurred.

You will be promptly informed of any updates to this policy by appropriate means, and you will also be informed if the Data Controller processes your data for purposes other than those set out in this policy, before doing so and in time to give your consent if required.
