This Privacy Policy describes how this website is managed with regard to the processing of the personal data of the users/visitors who consult it.

Notice pursuant to EU Regulation 679/2016 on the protection of personal data – for those who connect to the website https://coletteclothing.com of Colette Group s.r.l.

This notice is provided only for the website mentioned above and not for other websites that the user may consult through links. The website https://coletteclothing.com is owned and managed by Colette Group s.r.l. which guarantees compliance with the legislation on the protection of personal data (Italian Legislative Decree 196/03).

Users/visitors should read this Privacy Policy carefully before submitting any type of personal information.

1) Browsing data

The computer systems and software procedures used to operate this website acquire, during their normal operation, some personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols. This information, by its very nature, could allow users/visitors to be identified through associations and processing with data held by third parties (e.g. IP address, etc.). These data are used only for statistical purposes (they are therefore anonymous) and to check that the website is working properly. They are kept for a period of no more than three months. No data deriving from the web service will be communicated or disseminated.

2) Data provided voluntarily by users/visitors

Where users/visitors, connecting to this website, send their own personal data to access certain services, or to make requests by email or via WhatsApp, this entails the acquisition by Colette Group s.r.l. of the sender's address and/or of any other personal data, which will be processed in order to respond to the request. The data provided voluntarily by the user/visitor may be used to send them commercial communications and information on promotions and offers concerning Products or Services handled by Colette Group s.r.l. Users who no longer wish to receive communications may inform Colette Group s.r.l. by sending an email to colettegroup@hotmail.com, it being understood that, in such a case, in the absence of consent some services may not be provided and browsing on the website could be compromised; the company will promptly delete the above data from the communications system. The personal data provided by users/visitors will be communicated to third parties only where the communication is necessary to comply with the requests of the users/visitors themselves.

3) Type of data processing

The processing of personal data is necessary for the pursuit of the legitimate interest of the data controller for the purpose of providing information about the activity of Colette Group s.r.l. pursuant to art. 6, par. 1, letter f) of EU Regulation 679/2016, in compliance with the provisions of the same Regulation.

To access the services and contents provided by Colette Group s.r.l. through its website, the user may be asked, depending on the type of service, for personal and identifying data such as, for example, first name, surname, home address, email, telephone number, date of birth, tax code, etc. For access to our services we never ask the data subject to release sensitive data (e.g. data revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious, philosophical or political beliefs, state of health, sex life, etc.) or judicial data (data concerning criminal records, or relating to the status of defendant or suspect, etc.).

This website uses Log Files in which information collected automatically during users' visits is stored. The information collected could include the following:

  • Internet protocol (IP) address;
  • Type of browser and parameters of the device used to connect to the website;
  • Name of the internet service provider (ISP);
  • Date and time of the visit;
  • Web page of origin of the visitor (referral) and of exit;
  • Possibly the number of clicks.

The above information is processed in automated form and collected exclusively in aggregate form in order to verify the correct functioning of the website and for security reasons. This information will be processed on the basis of the legitimate interests of the data controller.

For security purposes (antispam filters, firewalls, virus detection), the automatically recorded data may possibly also include personal data such as the IP address, which could be used, in accordance with the laws in force, in order to block attempts to damage the website itself or to cause damage to other users, or in any case activities that are harmful or constitute a crime. Such data are never used for the identification or profiling of the user, but only for the protection of the website and its users; this information will be processed on the basis of the legitimate interests of the data controller.

The data collected on the website during its operation are used exclusively for the purposes indicated above and kept for the time strictly necessary to carry out the specified activities.

Refusal to provide the data makes it impossible to obtain the services offered by the website.

4) Data retention

In accordance with the provisions of art. 5.1 (c) of the Regulation, the information systems and computer programs used by Colette Group s.r.l. are configured in such a way as to minimise the use of personal and identifying data; such data will be processed only to the extent necessary to achieve the purposes indicated in this Policy.

The data will be kept for the period of time strictly necessary to achieve the purposes actually pursued and, in any case, the criterion used to determine the retention period is based on compliance with the time limits permitted by applicable laws and with the principles of data minimisation and storage limitation.

Specifically, the data will be kept for a maximum of ten years after the closure of the account or after inactivity, with the exception of (i) data processed to comply with a legal obligation, which will be kept for the period required by the laws applicable from time to time, (ii) data processed for direct marketing and profiling purposes, which will be kept for up to 2 years from the last interaction (for example, the opening of an email, participation in a Promotion or an event and other contacts with the Data Controller). In determining the appropriate retention periods, we have considered:

  • The amount, nature and sensitivity of your personal data;
  • The potential risk of harm deriving from the unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data;
  • The purposes for which we process your personal data and whether such purposes can be achieved by other means;
  • The provisions of law, regulation, tax, accounting or other provisions relating to data retention.

At the end of the retention period, the data will be deleted or anonymised.

5) Purposes of the personal data

The data used for security purposes (blocking attempts to damage the website) are kept for the time strictly necessary to achieve the purpose indicated above.

The data collected on the website during its operation are used exclusively for the purposes indicated above and kept for the time strictly necessary to carry out the specified activities.

There are no registration forms or reserved areas on this website: personal data reach the Data Controller only if the user contacts the company via WhatsApp or email on their own initiative.

Refusal to provide the data makes it impossible to obtain the services offered by the website.

6) Processing methods

The processing is carried out through automated tools (e.g. using electronic procedures and media) and/or manually (e.g. on paper) for the time strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which the data were collected and, in any case, in compliance with the regulatory provisions in force on the matter.

7) Optional nature of the provision of data

Apart from what is specified for browsing data, users/visitors are free to provide their personal data. Failure to provide them may only make it impossible to obtain what has been requested.

9) Rights of data subjects

The persons to whom the personal data refer have the right at any time to obtain confirmation of whether or not such data exist and to know their content and origin, to verify their accuracy or to request their integration or updating, or their rectification (art. 7 of Italian Legislative Decree 196/03).
