Montebianco SpA is committed to safeguarding the privacy of site users. This privacy information notice describes the data collection and processing mechanisms used at www.montebiancoweb.com.

Access to the site implies agreement to the collection and processing of personal data in accordance with the methods described in this privacy information notice.

Collection of personal data
Personal information will only be required when it is necessary to identify or contact the user for purposes of supplying services or carrying out the transactions requested. Generally speaking, such information will be required to enable the user to make use of a service, such as to receive information on Montebianco SpA products and services, take part in a competition, subscribe to newsletters, visit a limited access website and purchase Montebianco SpA products. Among the personal information that may be required are the name, title, company name, email address and office phone number, home or office address, information on the type of business conducted and credit card details.

The web site may acquire information on the pages visited (such as the internet provider name and IP (internet protocol) address by means of which the user gains access to the internet, the date and time of access to the site, the pages visited by the users and the address of the web site from which the user gained direct access to the site). This information is collected to analyse trends, and to administer and improve the site. Some of our web sites collect information on the products, to enable us to supply the service requested.

Use of personal information
The personal information collected on the site will be used for its operation, and to supply services or carry out the transactions requested or authorised by the user.

For that purpose, Montebianco SpA may use the personal information to increase the efficiency of its customer service, improve the site and the products and services offered by Montebianco SpA and make the site easier to use, by eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information or customising the web site on the basis of user interests and preferences. With a view to simplifying interaction with Montebianco SpA, the information collected at www.montebiancoweb.com may be completed with the information collected by other Montebianco SpA services.

The personal information is used to provide the user with important information on the products and services in use, including critical updates and notifications. In addition, where authorised to do so by the user, Montebianco SpA may send out information on other Montebianco SpA products and services and/or pass on the information collected to partners of Montebianco SpA, to enable them to send out information on their own products and services.

The information on the pages visited will be combined with anonymous statistical data for purposes of research and with a view to supplying content that satisfies the interests of the users.

Montebianco SpA may divulge the personal information only if it is obliged to do so by the legislation in force, or if it is firmly convinced that this is necessary (a) to comply with the law or the instructions issued in the course of legal action in which Montebianco SpA of the web site are involved, (b) to protect and defend the rights and property of Montebianco SpA, or (c) to take action in extreme circumstances to protect the personal safety of Montebianco SpA employees, the users of Montebianco SpA products and services or the public.

The personal information collected on the site may be memorised and processed in Italy or in any other country in which Montebianco SpA or its affiliated and auxiliary companies or companies represented by it operate. The use of this site implies the acceptance of the transfer of information outside the user’s country.

As described in the section that follows, the user may gain access to his or her personal information and express preferences as to how he or she would like to be contacted.

Please note that this privacy information notice and the options specified by the user on the site will not necessarily also apply to the personal information supplied within the context of other products or services which are handled separately.

Montebianco SpA may send out emails from time to time containing information on a service requested by the user or as confirmation of a request for a product or service. Some services offered by Montebianco SpA require us to make contact with the customer. In such a case, the customer will not be able to cancel his or her subscription to these mailing lists, as customer contact is an essential service.

Access to personal information
The user may ask for information on the processing of his or her personal information at any time by sending an email to responsabiledps@montebiancoweb.com

Protection of personal information
Montebianco SpA is committed to protecting the reserved nature of personal information on an unconditional basis.
