This information applies exclusively to the processing of personal data carried out through the Website; any third-party websites which are accessible through links, banners or hypertext links are governed by the privacy policy of their respective operators. Users are therefore invited to also read those policies.

CT operates on the Website, of which it is the owner, as a provider of services deriving from registration on the Website, also for generic marketing purposes, as set out below.

CT takes the utmost account of the right to privacy and protection of the personal data of its Users. For any information or request relating to this Privacy Privacy, to the processing of their personal data and/or to the exercise of their rights, Users can write to the following addresses:

CT collects and processes the following types of data from Users who access and/or register on the Website:

3.1) Personal data collected automatically 

Browsing data: during their operation, the computer systems and software used for the functioning of the Website will acquire certain types of personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols. This information is not collected with the purpose of identifying the data subjects, but due to its nature it could lead to user identification through processing operations or association with data held by third parties. This category of data includes, for example, the IP addresses or domain names of the computers operated by the Users connected to the site, as well as other parameters relating to the User’s operating system and IT environment.

Aggregated information about user behaviour on the Website (such as clicks and/or mouse movements) collected through the use of cookies; for more information on the use of cookies by CT, the user is invited to read the Cookie Policy published on the Website.

3.2) Personal data provided directly by the user 

• • Personal and identification data (for example name and surname); contact details and addresses (such as e-mail address, postal address, telephone number, mobile number); account password (in case of registration) and other details provided during registration on the Website or while using the Services on the Website.
• • Any contacts with CT made through the FAQ service present on the Website or the optional and spontaneous sending of messages by e-mail or traditional mail, to the addresses of CT indicated on the Website, will entail the subsequent acquisition of the address or e-mail of the sender or of their telephone number in order to respond to requests, and of any other personal data included in the communications;
• • Data relating to the User’s shopping habits and preferences;
• • Any data of third parties, which may still be acquired by CT due to being entered by the User for various reasons, even if the third parties do not use the Website Services. If third-party data is provided, the User is required to guarantee to CT that they have expressly obtained the third party’s prior consent and that they will provide the information contained in this policy. The User is required to make sure that the personal data provided to CT are correct and, in the event of changes, update the data by writing to CT or by using the options allowed within the User’s personal area, if the User is registered.
• • Personal data collected through social media pages used by CT.

CT may also collect certain personal data of the User when interacting on active social network pages. Certain information will be communicated to CT directly by the User when they decide to share images published on CT’s social media pages through their profile, comment on posts and/or “like” a product, initiative or event published by CT by selecting the appropriate forms, or when they decide to send CT a message via private chat or other social media channels.

CT may also receive certain information indirectly due to the User’s interaction with CT ‘s own social media pages.

The knowledge of the User’s personal information may depend on the User’s social network settings and the content they have chosen to make public. Such information may also

include the name, surname, certain contact details and the image on the User’s social profile. We remind you that certain details will be visible to CT if the User decides to follow CT’s social media pages; for this reason, the User is invited to read the privacy information of the various social networks and to check their privacy settings.

Although data processing in print is not excluded, your personal data will mainly be collected and processed electronically, also with the aid of electronic and online methods, according to the principles of necessity, lawfulness, correctness, proportionality and transparency, for the purposes and according to the conditions of lawfulness (the legal basis) indicated in the relevant section.

CT will process the User’s personal data in order to allow:

• browsing on its Website;
• registration on the Website and provision of the related services;
• the fulfilment of requests sent by the User (eg in relation to assistance and/or requests for information or contact on the Website);
• the receipt of and replies to requests to exercise the rights of the data and to perform all the consequential activities;
• to execute obligations, or to fulfil obligations imposed by law, by an Authority or by the applicable legislation;
• the User’s interaction with social media pages, the sending of comments, the sharing of posts and reviews on the Website etc.;
• the verification, exercise or defence of a right before all the competent authorities;
• verification of the User’s identity thus avoiding possible abuses or fraud;
• prevention of improper use of the Website or of the related services or connected social media pages, and the prevention of computer crimes (eg attempted fraud);
• with prior express consent, the sending of commercial, advertising and promotional communications, the sending of newsletters, discount coupons and special offers for products and/or services advertised on the Website and the carrying out of market research by e-mail, post and/or telephone contact (calls or texts) known as “generic marketing”);
• with express consent, the monitoring and tracking of user behaviour on the Website, the collection and logging of browsing data (eg: pages visited, categories of products viewed.

Without prejudice to any other provisions of the Privacy Policy, under no circumstances will CT make the Users’ personal data available to other Users and/or to third parties.

The legal basis for the processing of data varies according to the purposes related to the processing of the data.

The legal basis may be the execution of measures adopted at the request of the data subject (eg registration on the Website), legitimate interest (eg the exercise or defence of a right) or

the express consent of the User (eg the sending of newsletters and/or promotional communications, known as “generic marketing”).

The provision of data for the purpose of generic marketing and profiling is optional: there is no legal or contractual obligation for the User to provide such data for this purpose and/or to give consent to the processing of their personal data for this purpose. Non-provision of consent does not affect the browsing or use of the Website in any way.

The processing of data for this purpose may be fully automated without any human intervention, using an algorithm with pre-set parameters.

A decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, produces legal effects that relate to the data subject as it is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract between the data controller and the data subject and/or is in any case connected to such contract and its validity and efficacy.

The User therefore has the right, at any time, to:

– obtain human intervention by CT;

– express their opinion;

– contest the decision taken by CT.

To exercise this right, the User can contact CT at the addresses indicated in point 2) of this Policy.

You can object at any time to the sending of further promotional communications by sending an e-mail to the above addresses. The User can also revoke the consent given in the same way at any time and / or oppose, at any time, the processing of his data for profiling purposes for marketing purposes.

Once the consent has been revoked, CT will send an e-mail to confirm.

Following the exercise of the right to object to the sending of promotional communications, it is possible that, for technical and operational reasons, some further promotional communications may still be received. If this does occur after 24 hours have elapsed from the exercise of the right of objection, the User is requested to report the problem to CT using the contact details indicated in point 2) above.

If the User does not give consent to the processing of their data for using or registering on the Website, it will not be possible for that User to browse on or register on the Website nor use the services offered by CT.

Without prejudice to the warnings indicated above, the User may at any time revoke the consent given and/or object to the processing of their data, also for reasons connected to their personal situation.

To exercise this right, the User can contact CT at the addresses indicated in point 2) above.

CT will keep and process the User’s personal data for the time strictly necessary to carry out the individual processing activities which may vary according to the purposes indicated above, in compliance with the statutory conservation obligations and the limits established by law (eg in cases where the User has an account, until that account has been closed).

In the event of a dispute with the User, the personal data may be kept for the time reasonably necessary to complete such purposes and/or for the time during which claims may be pursued.

For generic marketing and profiling purposes, CT will process the User’s data until the consent is revoked and/or the right to object is exercised and, in any case, not beyond the limits of the law.

CT may disclose the personal data provided by the User, to third parties including: legal, tax or administrative consultancy firms, suppliers of goods or assistance centres, third-party companies such as technology or IT service providers or logistics providers whose services are functional to the operation of the Website, suppliers of outsourced or cloud computing services (e.g. for sending newsletters, promotions, data analysis and processing etc.), public or competent authorities (e.g. in the event of a dispute or commission of crimes) etc. Persons acting as independent data controllers will only have access to the data necessary to provide their services and are not authorised to retain Users’ data for other purposes.

If the User interacts with social media pages, their data may be known by the companies that manage the social networks as independent data controllers.

The personal data provided by the User may also be communicated by CT to its employees and/or contractors in charge of managing the Website and/or the related services.

Such persons – who are formally appointed by CT as “Data Processors” or “Authorised Processors” under the direct authority of CT, will process the User’s data exclusively for the purposes indicated in this Privacy Policy and in compliance with the applicable provisions of law.

The User’s personal data will not be disclosed or transferred to third parties for use for their own purposes; in the event of any extraordinary corporate transactions (e.g. the sale or lease of a company, merger etc.), the data may be transferred or given to third-party buyers, tenants or other authorised persons.

In compliance with the conditions and guarantees established by United States law, your data may be transferred to countries not belonging to the United States, which may not offer a level of protection of privacy and personal data protection comparable to the one guaranteed by United States law; CT, as Data Controller, gives the utmost consideration to data security and will thus manage such data transfers with all due caution and guarantees.

Legal requirements, however, may require to retain some or all of the personal information CT hold for a period of time that is longer than that for which we might otherwise hold.

When personal information is no longer required by CT or by law, CT will either convert it into an aggregated non-identifying form or CT will appropriately destroy or erase the personal information.
