3. PURPOSE, LEGAL BASIS OF PROCESSING AND NATURE OF THE CONFERMENT

Personal data will be processed, with consent where necessary, for the following purposes:

a) allow the navigation of the Site, the registration in private areas and access to all other services made available by the Owner (such as, for example, the service of requesting and creating quotes for tourist packages, including the execution of related contractual and administrative activities), including the management of the security of the Site.

b) manage and verify the specific requests addressed to the Data Controller forwarded to the e-mail addresses and/or telephone numbers of the Data Controller available on the Website;

c) subscription to the newsletter, in order to receive by e-mail communications and information of a commercial nature, promotional and direct marketing on services, products and offers of the Data Controller;

d) to send, with the specific consent of the data subject, promotional and marketing communications, including newsletters, promotional offers, commercial initiatives, advertising material, direct sales and market research on products and services of the Controller, through automated contact systems such as e-mail, SMS, instant messaging systems and non-automated such as paper mail or telephone with operator; it is specified that the Data Controller collects a single consent for the marketing purposes described here, pursuant to the General Measure of the Data Protection Authority “Guidelines on promotional activities and combating spam” of 4 July 2013.

If, in any case, you would like to object to the processing of data for marketing purposes carried out with some or all of the means of contact indicated above, it is possible at any time to do so by contacting the Data Controller at the addresses indicated in paragraph 1 of this information, without prejudice to the lawfulness of the processing carried out before the objection;

e) comply with any obligations under applicable laws, regulations or Community legislation, or respond to requests from the authorities;

f) satisfy any defensive needs of the Owner both in the out-of-court and judicial phase;

The legal basis for the processing of personal data for the purposes referred to in Art. a) and b) is to be found in Art. 6, para. 1, lett. b) of the GDPR ([… ]the processing is necessary for the execution of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for the execution of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the same), as the processing is necessary for the provision of the services requested by the data subject.

The provision of personal data for the aforementioned purposes is optional, however any failure to provide it could result in the impossibility for the Controller to activate and provide the requested services.

The processing carried out for the purposes set out in Art. 6, para. 1, lit. a) of the GDPR is based on the consent given pursuant to Art. 6, par. 1, lett. a) of the GDPR (… ] the data subject has expressed consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes).

The consent is revocable at any time without prejudice to the lawfulness of the processing carried out prior to the revocation in accordance with art. 7 of the GDPR.

If you wish to object to the processing of your data for marketing purposes, you can do so at any time by contacting the Controller and/or the DPO at the addresses indicated in paragraph 1 of this privacy policy.

The purpose referred to in lett. e) represents a legitimate processing of personal data pursuant to art. 6, para. 1, lit. c) of the GDPR ([… ]the processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which the data controller is subject). Once the personal data has been transferred, in fact, the processing is necessary to comply with legal obligations to which the Controller is subject.

The processing referred to in point f) is carried out in order to pursue the legitimate interest of the Holder ex art. 6, par. 1, letter. f) and 9, par. 2, lit. f) of the GDPR, because once personal data has been provided, its processing may become necessary to establish, exercise or defend a right in court or whenever judicial authorities perform their functions.
