If we obtain Personal Information about the User from these third parties, we ensure that these parties are contractually committed to informing the User that his/her Personal Information will be transmitted to us and, before using it, we take appropriate measures to ensure its accuracy. If the User provides us with personal information about others, or if others provide us with information about the User, we will use that information only for the specific reason for which it was provided to us.
9. Communications from WeeonD
9.1. Marketing messages
We may use your Personal Information to send you marketing content or messages via email, SMS, text messages, business calls and similar forms of communication from WeeonD or our Business Partners (acting on behalf of WeeonD) through such means.
WeeonD will send regular email communications to subscribers to the newsletter containing studies, research, information and news relating to our business, as well as technological and process innovations provided by our Business Partners.
​If you do not wish to receive such promotional messages or calls, you may notify WeeonD at any time or follow the unsubscribe or unsubscribe instructions in the promotional communications you receive.
We take appropriate measures to limit the promotional content we send the User to a reasonable and proportionate level and to send him or her information that we think may be of interest to him or her, based on the information in our possession concerning him or her.
9.2. Service Messages
WeeonD may also contact a User in the event of important information regarding the Services or their use.
For example, we may send the User a notice ( through any of our means) if a particular Service is temporarily suspended for maintenance; respond to support or email requests; or notify substantial changes to our Services.
It is important that the User is always able to receive such messages. For this reason, the User may not choose not to receive such Service Messages unless he/she is no longer a Visitor or a WeeonD User (which can be done by deactivating his/her account).
10. User rights
It is imperative that the User has control over his or her Personal Information. For this reason, WeeonD adheres to the regulations imposed by the GDPR, implementing appropriate measures to ensure the rights of the User under this regulation.
In particular, art. 13, c. 2 of the GDPR lists the User's rights. WeeonD therefore wishes to inform the User of the right to request the data controller:
-
to have access to, update, correct, supplement or restrict the processing of personal data concerning him/her, or
-
to object, for legitimate reasons, to the processing of such data, in addition to the right to data portability;
-
to request the deletion, transformation into anonymous form or blocking of data that have been processed unlawfully, including data whose retention is unnecessary for the purposes for which they have been collected or subsequently processed;
-
to obtain certification that the operations of updating, rectification, integration of data, cancellation, blocking of data, transformation have been brought to the attention, including as regards their content, of those to whom the data were communicated or disclosed, unless this requirement is impossible or would require a manifestly disproportionate effort compared to the protected right;
If the processing is based on Article 6.1.a - express consent to the use - or on Article 9.2.a - express consent to the use of genetic, biometric, health-related data revealing religious or philosophical beliefs or trade union membership, revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions - the user has the right to withdraw consent at any time without prejudice to the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent given before the withdrawal.
Likewise, in case of violation of the law, the user has the right to lodge a complaint with the local authorities in charge, but we recommend first of all to consult our owner and manager of the treatment.
For a more detailed examination of your rights, see Articles 15 et seq. of EU Regulation 2016/679.Requests can be addressed to the data controller, without formalities or, alternatively, using the form provided by the Authority for the Protection of Personal Data, or by sending an email to the address: info@weeond.com
If a Visitor or a WeeonD User wishes to receive copies of, access and/or ask us to make corrections to the Personal Information stored with us or to request a list of the Personal Information (if any) about him that we have disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes, he may also send a request by regular mail to WeeonD S.r.l, Via Italia, 46 Monza.
Before we transmit the Personal Information requested, we may ask the User for additional information in order to assure the identity of the User and for security reasons. We reserve the right to charge a fee where permitted by law (e.g. in the event of an unfounded or excessive request).
We will use all reasonable endeavours to respond promptly to your request (unless we need further information to do so), subject to legal or other constraints.
11. Questions and complaints
For any questions or concerns regarding the collection, use or disclosure of personal data, or if there is any reason to believe that we have not complied with this Privacy Policy or applicable data protection laws, we encourage the User to contact us: our contact details are set out at the end of this document.
12.Data Retention
We may retain User Personal Information as long as the User Account is active, as set out in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise necessary for the provision of our Services.
We may continue to retain such Personal Information even after the User Account has been deactivated and/or the use of any particular Service has ceased, to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes concerning our Users, prevent fraud and abuse, comply with contracts entered into and/or protect our legitimate interests.
We have a data retention policy in place which we apply to the information we are provided with. If we no longer need the User's Personal Information, we will ensure that it is securely deleted.
13. Security
This Site treats user data lawfully and fairly, taking appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, modification or unauthorized destruction of data. The processing is carried out by means of computer and/or telematic tools, with organizational methods and with logic strictly related to the purposes indicated.
In addition to the owner, in some cases, may have access to data categories of employees involved in the organization of the site (administrative staff, sales, marketing, legal, system administrators) or external parties (such as third party technical service providers, couriers, hosting providers, computer companies, communication agencies).
The site uses a secure connection via secure HTTPS access, so the transmission of personal information through our forms is protected by an industry standard SSL/TLS encrypted connection.
Regardless of the measures and efforts taken, we cannot and do not guarantee the absolute protection and security of your Personal Information.
We encourage Users to set up complex passwords for their User Accounts and to avoid providing us with sensitive information whose disclosure could result in substantial or irreparable damage.
In addition, because some areas of our Services are less secure than others (for example, setting up a "public" request instead of "private" in the forum or browsing a non-SSL page) and because email and instant messaging are not recognized as secure forms of communication, we encourage Users not to share any sensitive Personal Information in any of these areas or through any of these methods.
14. Public forums and user content
Our Services can offer publicly accessible blogs, communities and support forums. You should be aware that any information you provide in these areas may be read, collected and used by others who have access to it. To request removal of your Personal Information from our blogs, communities or forums, please contact us at the addresses provided in Paragraph 16 below.
​
In some cases, we may not be able to remove the User's Personal Information from those areas. For example, if the User uses a third party application to post a comment (e.g., Facebook social plugin application) while logged into that third party profile, the User must either login to that application or contact their provider if they wish to remove the Personal Information posted on the platform.
In any case, we recommend not to post in these areas information (or use means to post information) that is not intended to be published on these platforms.
Users understand and acknowledge that even after removal, copies of User Content may remain visible in the cache or archives or if third parties have copied or stored such User Content.
For the sake of clarity, we do not recommend uploading or posting information that the user does not wish to make public.
15. Updates and Interpretation
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy as required by applicable law and in order to reflect changes in our practices for collecting, using and storing information. If we make a change that is deemed "material" (in our sole discretion in good faith), we will notify the Customer (by one of the methods of notice set out in Section 9 of the Terms and Conditions) before the change takes effect. We encourage Users to periodically review this page for current information about our privacy practices.
Unless otherwise stated, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information we hold about Users with respect to our Site and other Services.
This Privacy Policy has been prepared in Italian and may be translated into other languages for convenience only. Users may access and view other language versions by changing the language settings of the Site. If a translated version (not in Italian) of these Terms of Use conflicts in any way with the respective Italian version, the provisions of the Italian version shall prevail.
16. Contacts
If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy or would like to exercise any of the rights described in Section 10, please contact the data protection team at info@weeond.com. We will endeavour to resolve any complaints regarding the use of Personal Information under this Privacy Policy.
