ONLINE TRACKING

You may see our ads on other websites based on your visits to the Site because we engage in retargeting. For example, if you view a particular product on the Site, you may see an ad for that product on a third-party website. Our retargeting activities track your activity on the Site and third-party sites by using automated means such as cookies. Accordingly, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we and our service providers may collect information about our visitors’ online activities over time and across third-party websites.

WHO WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH?

We do not sell or otherwise disclose personal information we collect about you, except as described in this online Privacy Notice. We may share personal information with service providers who perform services on our behalf based on our instructions.

However, personal data may be shared with government authorities and/or law enforcement officials if required for the purposes above, if mandated by law or if required for the legal protection of our legitimate interests in compliance with applicable laws. If you would like to receive more information on the third parties we use, please contact ciao@marcodalmaso.com. 

In connection with the purposes identified above, your personal information may be transferred to and stored at a destination outside the UK, Switzerland or the European Economic Area (‘EEA’). This could also be the case due to members of our staff processing your order or payment, operating outside of that region. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. Where information is transferred outside the UK, Switzerland or the EEA that is not subject to an adequacy decision by the EU Commission, information is adequately protected by EU Commission approved standard contractual clauses or a vendor's Processor Binding Corporate Rules. For more information on the transfer mechanism used, please contact us at ciao@marcodalmaso.com. 

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone. We do not authorise our service providers to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements.  

We are strongly committed to data security and we take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or corruption.

 

WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS?

You have the right to ask us for a copy of your personal data; to correct, delete or restrict (stop any active) processing of your personal data; and to obtain the personal data you provide to us for a contract or with your consent in a structured, machine readable format, and to ask us to share (port) this data to another controller.

You can object to the processing of your personal data in some circumstances (in particular, where we don’t have to process the data to meet a contractual or other legal requirement, or where we are using the data for direct marketing).

These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person, where they would infringe the rights of a third party (including our rights) or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping. We will inform you of relevant exemptions we rely upon when responding to any request you make.

To exercise any of these rights, or to obtain other information, such as a copy of a legitimate interests balancing test, you can get in touch with us using the details set out below. If you have unresolved concerns, you have the right to complain to an EU data protection authority where you live, work or where you believe a breach may have occurred.

Where we require your personal data to comply with legal or contractual obligations, then provision of such data is mandatory: if such data is not provided, then we will not be able to manage our contractual relationship with you, or to meet obligations placed on us.

 

DURATION OF RETAINING YOUR INFORMATION

Where we process personal data for marketing purposes or with your consent, we process the data until you ask us to stop and for a short period after this (to allow us to implement your requests). We also keep a record of the fact that you have asked us not to send you direct marketing or to process your data indefinitely so that we can respect your request in future.

Where we process personal data in connection with performing a contract or for a competition, we keep the data for 6 years.

Where we process registration data, excluding in the circumstances outlined above, we retain your data for 6 years.

 

WITHDRAWING CONSENT OR OTHERWISE OBJECTING TO DIRECT MARKETING

Wherever we rely on your consent to send you marketing communications (for instance, where you have signed up to our newsletter, or have provided us with your consent to receive marketing communications at the point of checkout or when setting up an account), you will always be able to withdraw that consent, although we may have other legal grounds for processing your data for other purposes, such as those set out above. In some cases, we are able to send you direct marketing without your consent, where we rely on our legitimate interests (for instance, where you are already a customer).

In any case, you can unsubscribe from receiving our marketing emails by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of our emails, or by contacting us using the details set out below. You can also update your marketing preferences in your customer account on www.MARCODALMASO.com, at any time.  Please note that you may continue to receive communications for a short period after changing your preferences while our systems are fully updated.   

You also have an absolute right to opt-out of all data processing that we carry out for marketing purposes (this includes receiving marketing emails, and profiling whereby we tailor the content, adverts and marketing communications that you receive about our products and services), at any time, by contacting ciao@marcodalmaso.com.

 

UPDATES TO OUR ONLINE PRIVACY NOTICE

This Online Privacy Notice may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our personal information practices. Depending on the type of change, we may notify you by updating this page or by email. We encourage you to periodically review this page to see any changes we have made.

CHILDREN’S PERSONAL INFORMATION

Our Site is designed for a general audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly solicit personal data from children under the age of 18 or send them requests for personal information.

 

COOKIES

When you visit our Site we may store some information (commonly known as a "cookie" or similar technologies) on your device. Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your hard drive to store and sometimes track information about you. Cookies are specific to the server that created them and cannot be accessed by other servers, which means that they cannot be used to track your movements around the web.

Cookies can be categorised in accordance with the categories found in the ICC UK Cookie guide as set out below:

    a) strictly necessary cookies - these cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around a website and use its features and enable services you have specifically asked for. Consent is not generally required for these cookies;

    b) performance cookies - these collect information about how visitors use a website, for example, by recording which pages users go to most often (usually on an anonymous basis);

    c) functionality cookies - these cookies allow a website to remember the choices a user makes, such as a user name or language preference; and

    d) targeting or advertising cookies - these collect information about a user's browsing habits and are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.

Cookies can also be categorised in accordance with how long they are saved on your device. "Session cookies" are short-term cookies that are only saved on the computer's memory for the duration of a user's visit to the website, whereas "persistent cookies" remain saved in the computer's memory for a set period of time, even after the browser session has ended.
