Optional provision of personal data

The provision of personal data is generally optional. Only in some cases, failure to provide personal data may make it impossible to access specific services and obtain what is requested (for example, providing your email address is necessary to respond to your requests); failure to provide such data may therefore prevent Fondazione SICO from allowing you access to specific services of the Website. The necessary data are indicated in the data collection forms.

Purpose and legal basis of the processing

The data are collected and processed for purposes strictly related to the use of the Website and its services. The purposes of the processing are specified in the specific privacy policy provided by the Website each time data is collected.

Fondazione SICO guarantees that the personal data provided through the Website will be processed lawfully and correctly, in full compliance with the applicable legislation, and that the data provided during registration will be kept strictly confidential.

The data provided by users will be processed for the period of time specified in the specific privacy policy provided at the time of data collection. The data will not be disclosed and will be processed only by persons expressly authorized to process and identified within Fondazione SICO.
