2. Category of Personal Data Processed

 

2.1. Data Provided Directly by the User

The elective, explicit and voluntary sending of emails to the email addresses posted on the Website entails the subsequent acquisition of the sender's email address – which is necessary to answer any requests – as well as the acquisition of any other personal information included in the message.

In some sections of the Website the User will be asked to provide personal data, such as their name, surname, address, telephone numbers, email addresses, national insurance number, VAT no., credit card number, bank details, date of birth and password. In this instance, the User will be provided with the specific privacy policy pursuant to Article 13 of the Privacy Act and Article 13 of the GDPR related to personal data processing concerned with the individual purposes and specific express consent may be requested if necessary.

 

2.2 Data Collected by Sergio Rossi

(i) In the course of their normal operations, the IT systems and software procedures for the functioning of the Website acquire some personal data, the transmission of which is implicit in the use of internet communication protocols.

This information is not collected in order to be associated with identified data subjects, but given the nature of such data, may allow Users to be identified if processed and combined with data held by third parties. This category of data includes the IP addresses or the domain names of the computers used by visitors to the Website, the URI addresses (Uniform Resource Identifier) of the resources requested, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in response, the numerical code indicating the status of the response given by the server (completed successfully, error, etc.) and other parameters related to the operating system and the User’s IT environment.

(ii) We collect Sales data for Sergio Rossi products: purchase method, type, quantity and price of the Sergio Rossi products purchased.

 

2.3 Personal Data of Third Parties

If Sergio Rossi were to process the personal data of third parties communicated directly by one of its Users (for example, if the User has purchased a product to be sent to another per-son or when the person who pays for the purchase is not the person to whom the product is being sent, or when the User wants to recommend a service on this Website to a friend), the User acknowledges that in this case they are the data controller of the processing of the personal data of the aforementioned persons. For this reason, when providing Sergio Rossi with this data, you must guarantee that: i) the personal data that the User may disclose to Sergio Rossi has been processed by said User in accordance with current privacy provisions and ii) the aforementioned third parties have been duly informed by the User in advance concerning the methods and purposes of the processing and have given their consent.

The User will be solely liable for communicating information and data concerning third parties that have not given their consent, as well as for any improper or illegal use of such data or information.

 

3. Purposes of Processing and Legal Basis

The User’s personal data is collected and processed by Sergio Rossi for purposes strictly required for the use of the Website and its services.

 

3.1. Establishing, Executing and Managing the Commercial Relationship

The personal data referred to in paragraphs 2.1, 2.2 (i) and 2.3 above will be processed to:

• fulfil the legal obligations which apply to Sergio Rossi in accordance with civil, fiscal and accounting regulations, as well as to ascertain responsibility in the case of a hypothetical cybercrime;
• establish, execute and manage the commercial relationship and/or to provide auxiliary services for the same commercial relationship. Specifically, for: administrative and accounting purposes; issuing invoices and credit notes; customer data management; fulfilling and sending purchase orders; IT support when using the Website; post-sales support: management of returns and any complaints; contacting customer care;
• registration on the Website and the management of the technical administration of the Website and the User’s personal account.

 

The legal basis for the processing of personal data for the purposes referred to above in paragraph 3.1 is the commercial relationship to which the User is party.

 

 

3.2 Sergio Rossi Marketing Activity

The personal data referred to in paragraphs 2.1 and 2.2 (ii) above will be processed for promotional activities by Sergio Rossi via automatic (email, fax, SMS and MMS) or traditional tools (telephone calls with an operator, paper-based mail), which include:

• sending newsletters, brochures, catalogues and presentations;
• sending commercial and/or promotional communications, information and updates on Sergio Rossi products and services;
• invitations to special events;
• studies, market research and statistical surveys.

 

For European Users, the legal basis for the processing of personal data for the purposes referred to above in paragraph 3.2 is the User's explicit prior consent. California Users may opt-out of such marketing activity by selecting the opt-out option provided at the time of transaction or by emailing clientservice-us@sergiorossi.com.

 

3.3 Sergio Rossi Profiling Activities

The personal data referred to in paragraphs 2.1 and 2.2 (ii) above will be processed via partly-automated profiling. In this instance, the Data Controller will only analyze the sales data of Sergio Rossi products, i.e. the purchase method, type, quantity and price of the Sergio Rossi products the User purchased and/or viewed to:

• develop and/or create profiles based on the User’s preferences and purchases;
• personalize the User’s experience with Sergio Rossi in line with their interests and purchase habits.

However, it is not deemed that partly-automated profiling will produce legal ramifications for the User or have a significant effect on the User in a similar manner.

 

For European Users, the legal basis for the processing of personal data for the purposes referred to above in paragraph 3.3 is the User's explicit prior consent. California Users may opt-out of such marketing activity by selecting the opt-out option provided at the time of transaction or by emailing clientservice-us@sergiorossi.com.

 

Any processing purpose other than the specific purpose for which the personal data was provided will be highlighted in the specific privacy policy and, for European Users, will be pursued by Sergio Rossi only after obtaining the User’s express consent.

 

4. Mandatory or Optional Provision of the User's Personal Data and the Consequences Should They Refuse

The provision of the User’s personal data to Sergio Rossi, as requested by the Website for various data collection purposes, may be necessary to pursue the purposes outlined in the specific privacy policy or may be optional.

It is understood that the mandatory or optional nature of data provision is specified each time when the personal data is collected via specific privacy policies. Should the User refuse to disclose personal data identified as being necessary, this will make it impossible to achieve the purpose of the specific collection.

The provision of the User's personal data for the purposes referred to in paragraph 3.1 is optional, however, failure to provide said data will make it impossible for them to register on the Website and to establish and/or continue a commercial relationship and/or for the services connected to this relationship to be provided.

The provision of the User’s personal data for the purposes referred to in paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3 is optional and failure to provide said data will have no effect on their ability to register on the Website and/or purchase products and/or receive the services requested, however we will not be able to inform the User about promotions and commercial initiatives or send invitations to events or assess their interests and preferences.
