• The user cannot access your account; 

• In the next visit, you will not have access to the history of your preferences; 

• We cannot offer you personalized content.

5. Access and update of user personal information

Not all users see privacy the same way.

We want to be fully transparent about the information we collect so that you can consciously choose how the information is used and without any restriction, and to have access to your personal information.

In this sense, you have at your disposal ways to update or delete any information that is not correct, unless we need to keep them for commercial or legal reasons.

However, for our control, we can: 

• ask the user to confirm his identity; 

• Decline too repetitive applications that require disproportionate technical effort that could harm the privacy of others or would be extremely difficult to achieve; 

• Do not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers or remove information from our backup systems in order to prevent the information from being destroyed accidentally or maliciously.

 

6. Information Security

It is noteworthy that data transmission over the Internet – a public network – can have security holes. So it is not possible to prevent, to one hundred percent, access by unauthorized third parties.

Our website is equipped with the most advanced security and data protection technologies.

The security of user information is a priority in our "Privacy Policy".

All information is encrypted from the user's personal data to the payment.

We review periodically our practices for the collection, processing and storage of information, including physical security measures to protect against unauthorized access or intrusion by unauthorized third parties.

We restrict access to personal information to employees, contractors and agents who are subject to strict rules of confidentiality and the contractual limits.

In principle, the user account does not run the risk of being invaded, except for the user's own carelessness or for having provided their data to third parties.

Therefore, we cannot be held responsible for unauthorized access to information by "hackers" or others who have obtained such access through illegal methods.

7. Compliance and cooperation with regulatory authorities

We review regularly the contents of this Privacy Policy.

Whenever we receive formal written complaints, we will immediately contact the complainant to initiate the respective process.

We commit ourselves to working with the relevant regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any personal data transfer complaints we cannot resolve directly with our users.
