2. obtain statistical information concerning the use of the services
3. check that the services offered are operating correctly
The legal basis for the processing of your data for the purposes referred to in points 1, 2 and 3 is the fulfilment of your request, pursuant to Article 6, first comma, subsection b) of the GDPR; if you were to refuse to contribute these data, you would be unable to use the Site.
Browsing data are stored for the times specified in the cookie policy available on the site.
By compiling the form in the specific "newsletter" section on the Website, or sections, you may contribute your ordinary personal data (name, surname, email address, country and profession) in order to subscribe to the newsletter and be regularly updated with news of initiatives, activities and projects organised by Emilceramica.
The newsletter will be sent to the email address which you provided, in order to fulfil your request.
The contribution of your personal data for the above purposes is optional. However, in the event of refusal to contribute the data, the Data Controller will be unable to fulfil your request to subscribe to the newsletter or to keep you up to date with the latest news from Emilceramica.
The legal basis for the processing of your data for this purpose is the fulfilment of your request, pursuant to Article 6, first comma, point b) of the GDPR; therefore, your consent is not necessary to authorise the processing. However, on receipt of any email, you may easily object to the sending of further communications from Emilceramica by using the "Unsubscribe" link provided in all e-marketing communications, or by contacting the Data Controller at the addresses provided in point 1 above.
Your personal data will be processed until you decide to cancel your subscription to the Newsletter service.
Further to submission of requests for information in the Contacts sector for information purposes (point 2.2), your subscription to the newsletter (point 2.4), or on the site pages containing a form for requesting specific information, the Data Controller assumes that you are potentially interested in being informed about Emilceramica’s activities, initiatives and products.
Therefore, given these circumstances, the Data Controller intends to use your personal data (name, surname, telephone number and email address) to send you marketing communications referri
ng to Emilceramica’s initiatives and products, and invitations to events it has organised. These communications may be sent by traditional means (such as telephone calls) and/or by automated means (such as email, telefax, prerecorded telephone calls, SMS, MMS, instant messaging, etc.).
The processing of your personal data for marketing purposes will require the issue of your specific consent (on the legal basis provided by article 6, first comma, subsection a) of the GDPR), to be given by ticking the box offered to you when the data are contributed. On the other hand, the sending of marketing communications does not require your consent when it takes place using the personal data (e.g. email address) which you contributed during activities relating to the sale of similar products offered by the Data Controller, or if you are acting, as the contact for a legal person, in the context of business relations with the Data Controller; in these circumstances, the processing of your personal data is considered to be based on the prevalent legitimate interest of the Data Controller.
However, on receipt of any email, you may easily object to the sending of further communications by Emilceramica, using the "Unsubscribe" link in all e-marketing communications, or by contacting the Data Controller at the addresses provided in point 1 above.
Your personal data will be processed for this marketing purpose until you decide to withdraw your consent or to object to the processing, by contacting the Data Controller using the contacts provided in point 1 of this Privacy Policy Statement.
Participation in marketing initiatives is optional and your refusal will have no consequences with regard to the other purposes for which data are processed, as referred to in this Privacy Policy Statement, but it will prevent Emilceramica from keeping you up to date with any further initiatives or events and about its projects and/or products.
Emilceramica also intends to analyse your consumption habits and choices in order to send you personalised marketing communications. To engage in profiling, Emilceramica requires your specific consent, to be given by ticking the box offered to you when your data are contributed.
Consent to profiling is optional and your refusal will have no consequence with regard to the performances of the other activities you have requested, but it will prevent the Data Controller from identifying the products, services and programmes which might interest you.
Profiling will be performed on your personal data relating to your preferences, consumption habits or purchases contributed or deduced over a one-year period, and will take place until you decide to withdraw your consent or to object to the profiling, by contacting the Data Controller using the contacts provided in point 1 of this Privacy Policy Statement.
