2.2. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

The “Contact us”, "News" section of the Website and the “Store locator”, contain a specific form via which you may voluntarily contribute some of your ordinary personal data in order to request the information you require. If you decide to make use of this service, the Data Controller will process your personal data only in order to respond to your request for information.

The legal basis for the processing of your data for this purpose is the fulfilment of your request, pursuant to article 6, first comma, subsection b) of the GDPR.

The contribution of your personal data for the above purpose is optional. However, if you decide not to contribute your personal data, you will be unable to obtain the information you need.

For this purpose, the personal data contributed through the website will be stored for the time necessary for the fulfilment of the request.

2.3. REGISTRATION ON THE SITE TO USE SPECIFIC SERVICES

In specific sections of the Website (“Wishlist”, “MTM”), you may voluntarily contribute some of your ordinary personal data in order to access specific services provided by the Data Controller. The Data Controller will only process the data you contribute for the purpose of providing you with the service requested. The contribution of data is optional, but if you do not contribute them we will be unable to provide the services requested.

The legal basis for the processing of your data for this purpose is the fulfilment of your request, pursuant to article 6, first comma, subsection b) of the GDPR.

For this purpose, your personal data will be processed until you decide to unsubscribe from the services by specific application to the Data Controller at the contacts provided in point 1 above. Otherwise, your data will be stored for 10 years.

2.4. DISPATCH OF NEWSLETTERS

By compiling the form in the specific "newsletter" section on the Website, or by flagging the box provided in the "Wishlist", "MTM", "Contact us" and "Store locator" sections, you may contribute your ordinary personal data (name, surname, email address, professional title, address) in order to subscribe to the Marazzi newsletter and be regularly updated with news of initiatives, activities and projects organised by Marazzi.

The newsletter will be sent to the email address which you provided, in order to fulfil your request.

The contribution of your personal data for the above purposes is optional. However, in the event of refusal to contribute the data, the Data Controller will be unable to fulfil your request to subscribe to the newsletter or to keep you up to date with the latest news from Marazzi.

The legal basis for the processing of your data for this purpose is the fulfilment of your request, pursuant to Article 6, first comma, point b) of the GDPR; therefore, your consent is not necessary to authorise the processing. However, on receipt of any email, you may easily object to the sending of further newsletters by using the “If you are not interested in receiving our newsletter please click here” link or by application to the Data Controller at the contacts provided in point 1 above.

Your personal data will be processed until you decide to cancel your subscription to the Newsletter service.

2.5. MARKETING PURPOSES

Further to the contribution of your personal data for information purposes, (point 2.2), for your registration on the Website for access to specific services (point 2.3), or for subscription to the newsletter (point 2.4), the Data Controller assumes that you are potentially interested in being informed about Marazzi's activities, initiatives and products.

Therefore, given these circumstances, the Data Controller intends to use your personal data (name, surname, telephone number and email address) to send you marketing communications referring to Marazzi's initiatives and products, and invitations to events it has organised. These communications may be sent by traditional means (such as telephone calls) and/or by automated means (such as email, telefax, prerecorded telephone calls, SMS, MMS, instant messaging, etc.).

The processing of your personal data for marketing purposes will require the issue of your specific consent (on the legal basis provided by article 6, first comma, subsection a) of the GDPR), to be given by ticking the box offered to you when the data are contributed. On the other hand, the sending of marketing communications does not require your consent when it takes place using the personal data (e.g. email address) which you contributed during activities relating to the sale of similar products offered by the Data Controller, or if you are acting, as the contact for a legal person, in the context of business relations with the Data Controller; in these circumstances, the processing of your personal data is considered to be based on the prevalent legitimate interest of the Data Controller.

However, on receipt of any email, you may easily object to the sending of further communications by Marazzi, by using the “If you are not interested in receiving our newsletter please click here” in all e-marketing communications, or by contacting the Data Controller at the addresses provided in point 1 above.

Your personal data will be processed for this marketing purpose until you decide to withdraw your consent or to object to the processing, by contacting the Data Controller using the contacts provided in point 1 of this Privacy Policy Statement.

Participation in marketing initiatives is optional and your refusal will have no consequences with regard to the other purposes for which data are processed, as referred to in this Privacy Policy Statement, but it will prevent Marazzi from keeping you up to date with any further initiatives or events and about its projects and/or products.
