Browsing Data
The IT systems and software procedures used to operate this website acquire, during their normal operation, certain personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols.

With regard to the purposes referred to under letter g., the Company relies on its legitimate business interest in providing its services, preventing fraud and improving its services. In this respect, the Company has carried out a balancing test between your rights and interests in the protection of your personal data and the rights and interests of the Company or the relevant third party.

Methods of Processing
Personal data will be processed by the Company, its authorised personnel and third parties, through electronic systems (and manual means where necessary), in accordance with the principles of fairness, lawfulness and transparency established by applicable personal data protection legislation, while safeguarding the confidentiality of the data subject and their rights through the adoption of appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to ensure a level of security consistent with applicable legislation. Specific security measures are implemented to prevent data loss, unlawful or improper use, and unauthorised access.

Legal Basis for Processing
Pursuant to Article 6 (Lawfulness of Processing), the legal basis for processing is your consent, the necessity of processing for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, compliance with a legal obligation to which the Data Controller is subject, and the pursuit of the legitimate interests of the Data Controller.

Data Retention
With reference to the Processing Purposes referred to under points a., b. and c., personal data will be processed for the entire duration of the relationship and for the period necessary to achieve the above purposes. Personal data required to comply with legal obligations will also be retained thereafter, in accordance with such obligations and the retention periods established by applicable laws.
With reference to the Processing Purposes referred to under point d., personal data will be retained for the period necessary to fulfil the purpose for which they were collected, namely to respond to your enquiry and handle your request.
With reference to the Processing Purposes referred to under points e., f. (marketing) and g. (profiling), the personal data you provide will be retained for the periods required by law and, with regard to profiling data, for a period appropriate and proportionate to the purposes pursued and the type of personal data processed, or until you withdraw your consent.
With reference to the Processing Purposes referred to under point h., personal data will be retained for the period necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected, namely improving the service and correcting any errors. Further information regarding retention periods may be requested from the Data Controller at info@anitavillas.it.

Some third parties may be located in countries outside the European Union that nevertheless provide an adequate level of data protection, as established by specific decisions of the European Commission (http://www.garanteprivacy.it/home/provvedimenti-normativa/normativa/normativa-comunitaria-e-intenazionale/trasferimento-dei-dati-verso-paesi-terzi#1). The transfer of your personal data to countries outside the European Union that do not provide an adequate level of protection will take place only after the conclusion between the Company and such recipients of specific agreements containing safeguard clauses and appropriate guarantees for the protection of personal data, known as Standard Contractual Clauses, also approved by the European Commission.
The data will not be disclosed to the public.
