  1. Transfers Outside the EU

Personal data are managed within an operational perimeter entirely located in the European Economic Area, so as to avoid transfers to third countries.

Should it become necessary, for specific technical or operational needs (e.g., server location, cloud services, corporate coordination, or group activities), to transfer data to countries outside the European Union, the Controller will ensure full compliance with Chapter V of the GDPR and Articles 44–46, adopting appropriate safeguards, including: verification of the level of protection in the destination country; where applicable, adoption of the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission; and, where applicable, reliance on a European Commission adequacy decision, where one exists.

  1. Retention Period

Personal data are retained for the time strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which they were collected and, once those purposes have been fulfilled, are deleted or irreversibly anonymized, unless further retention is required for legal protection purposes or under regulatory obligations. Retention periods are determined in compliance with the principles of purpose limitation and data minimization, based on an assessment carried out by the Controller in relation to the various purposes pursued.

  1. Nature of the Data Provision

The provision of data is optional but necessary for the assessment of the application. Failure to provide essential information may result in the Controller being unable to consider the application.
