***
D - Methods and Duration of Data Processing
Personal data is processed using electronic tools, in full compliance with Regulation (EU) No. 679/2016 and Legislative Decree No. 196/2003.
Data will be retained for the duration necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy and, in any case, for the shortest period possible—or until an explicit request for deletion is received from the data subject—and always within the limits established by law.
The Data Controller commits to adopting all appropriate security measures to prevent the loss or alteration of personal data and any unauthorized or unlawful use.
Data will be processed exclusively by individuals expressly authorized by the Data Controller, including any data processors, legal representatives, and public authorities when required to comply with legal obligations. These entities operate as independent data controllers within the scope of their respective duties.
Authorized parties may include, for example: members of the commercial or legal team, third-party technical service providers, hosting providers, and IT companies (this list is non-exhaustive). Under no circumstances will personal data be disclosed to unidentified recipients.

***
E - Location of Data Processing
Data processing activities related to the services offered through the website are carried out by personnel who are specifically identified and authorized based on the specific purposes of the requested and subscribed services.
For the purposes indicated, the Data Controller may rely on external companies, consultants, consortia, and service or software providers. These entities act through designated and authorized staff and must guarantee the highest levels of data security and confidentiality. In all other cases, personal data will not be disclosed to third parties without the explicit consent of the data subject—except when such communication is necessary to comply with legal obligations, regulations, or requests from supervisory authorities, or to safeguard the rights of other users or the website itself.
Personal data will be processed and stored solely for the purposes outlined above and will be hosted securely on remote servers managed by industry-leading providers that guarantee high standards of data protection compliance.
This may involve the transfer of data outside the European Union, to locations where some or all of the aforementioned servers may be located.
In particular, personal data may be transferred outside the EU to the company “Shopify” (https://www.shopify.com and https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy), an e-commerce plugin used by the Site managed by the Data Controller.
Data processing and storage by this provider will occur in a third country deemed “adequate” pursuant to a decision by the European Commission—specifically, the adequacy decision regarding Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), or via the Privacy Shield certification (USA), or based on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, or on binding corporate rules approved pursuant to Article 47 of the GDPR.
In general, the transfer of data to countries outside the EU does not require prior authorization from the national Data Protection Authority. However, such authorization is still required if the Data Controller intends to use contractual clauses or administrative arrangements not previously approved by the European Commission or not covered by standard mechanisms.

The Site Uses the Following Cookies
I. Technical cookies
Technical cookies primarily aim to make website navigation easier. Almost all browsers are set by default to accept cookies; however, users may change their browser settings or use specific add-ons to block them. Doing so may limit the usability of certain services on the website.
Technical cookies are further divided into “session” and “persistent” cookies. Both types are stored on the user’s device: session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed, while persistent cookies remain stored until their expiry date.
The Site uses session technical cookies to support navigation, such as enabling authentication in restricted areas or storing temporary user preferences. These cookies are deleted once the browser session ends.
Session cookies (which are not stored permanently on the user’s device and are automatically deleted once the browser is closed) are strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (random numbers generated by the server), necessary for safe and efficient browsing.
In certain cases, the Site may also use persistent technical cookies to remember the user’s language or device type preferences.
Persistent cookies are saved across multiple browser sessions and allow the Site to remember user actions. They can serve purposes such as remembering the user’s language settings or other preferences.
II. Analytical Cookies
