  1. Purpose of the Processing

The Data Controller processes the personal data you voluntarily disclosed (orally, with business cards, e-mail, delivery of documents through the Data Controller’s website, etc.), for example: name, surname, place and date of birth, residential address and domicile, registered office of the workplace, business name, VAT number, taxpayer’s code, landline or mobile telephone number, fax number, e-mail address, certified PEC e-mail address, employer company, role and/or corporate salary scheme, bank details, etc.

With respect to the foregoing assumptions, you are positioned as an independent data controller, thereby undertaking all legal obligations and responsibilities. In this respect, you accordingly provide the broadest indemnity for any dispute, claim, request for damages from processing, etc. that CARAVATI PAGANI may receive from third parties whose personal data have been processed at your request and/or in execution of the granted mandate.

  1. Purpose and legal basis of the processing, obligatory or voluntary nature of the provision, consequences of refusal, consent

Your personal data will be processed:

  1. without your express consent (Article 6, letters b, c, f, of the GDPR) for the following purposes:
    1. to fulfil the pre-contractual and contractual obligations arising from a potential professional job position; more specifically, to execute the mandate with which the Data Controller is vested as the tax, accounting, corporate and legal consultant. This task requires drafting all acts, documents and declarations required to fulfil the obligations under civil and tax legislation, in relation to the characteristics of the person and of the activity carried out (for example: preparing and filing personal income tax declarations, preparation and filing with the Chamber of Commerce for Industry, Agriculture and Craft, all kinds of agreements, Chamber of Commerce company registration reports, land registry documents, accounting books or records, etc.), and to meet any other request made by the client;
    2. for administrative and management purposes and to fulfil the obligations provided by law (such as accounting and tax or anti-money laundering obligations), by a regulation, by EC legislation or by an order of the Authority, to which the Data Controller is subject;
    3. for the purposes necessary to establish, exercise or defend a right in court or whenever the judicial bodies exercise their judicial powers.
  2. with your consent (Article 7 of the GDPR) for the following purposes:
    1. to send the newsletter containing information and communication material, articles and publications, also regarding the professional business of the Data Controller.

The legal basis of the processing of the personal data for the purposes laid down in paragraph I, sub-paragraph a) above is to execute an agreement to which you are a party or to execute pre-contractual measures adopted at your request, therefore to execute the pre-contractual and contractual obligations as regards the privities established and/or to be established with you.

The legal basis of the processing of the personal data for the purposes laid down in paragraph I) b) is to fulfil a legal obligation to which the Data Controller is subject, while the purpose of paragraph I) c) is the pursuit of the legitimate interests of the Data Controller. Please be informed that, taking into account the purposes of the processing as illustrated above, the provision of your personal data for the purposes set forth in paragraph I) is mandatory. Any failure on your part to provide [your data], whether partial or incorrect, and/or any expressed refusal to the processing will make it impossible for the Data Controller to respond to your requests, to fulfil the contractual obligations arising from the mandate or a legal obligation to which the Data Controller is subject or the requests of the competent authorities.

The provision of data for the purposes set out in paragraph II) above is optional, with the consequence that you may decide not to provide your consent or to withdraw it at any time.

When processing your data for the purposes illustrated in paragraph I) above, we might also become aware of special categories of personal data, as defined above in the introduction. For these reasons, we ask you to provide your consent in writing to the processing of such data, stating that you will have the right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent given before its withdrawal.

Your personal data are collected and processed by the Data Controller in accordance with the principles of lawfulness, fairness and transparency, in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures.

The data collected will be processed using electronic or automated means, information technology and computerised systems, or through hard copies, with logic strictly related to the purposes for which the personal data were collected and, in any event, in a manner that ensures the security of the same and for the time strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which they were collected, except when necessary to store the data to comply with the obligations under the laws in force, also after terminating the processing or until the time allowed by Italian law to protect the interests of the Data Controller.

More information on the storage period for personal data and on the criteria used to determine this period may be obtained by writing to the Data Controller.
