In particular, personal data may be processed to allow the proper management of the contractual relationship between the Customer and the Controller, including order management, payment processing, organization and execution of shipments, management of communications with the Customer, provision of requested services, and fulfillment of activities related to the supply of products. In such cases, processing is necessary for the performance of the contract or for the adoption of pre-contractual measures requested by the data subject.

Personal data may also be processed to fulfill legal obligations to which the Controller is subject, including administrative, accounting, tax, and regulatory obligations arising from the management of sales and economic transactions. In such cases, processing is carried out in fulfillment of a legal obligation.

Processing may also be carried out to ensure the security of the Site and transactions, prevent fraudulent activities, protect the Controller's rights, ascertain, exercise, or defend a right in court, as well as to ensure the proper functioning of IT systems and digital services. Such processing is based on the Controller's legitimate interest in ensuring the security, integrity, and protection of its activities and Site users.

If the Site allows voluntary donations, personal data provided by the donor may be processed for managing the payment, recording and traceability of the operation, and for related administrative and legal obligations.

With the specific consent of the data subject, where required by applicable law, personal data may be processed for additional purposes, such as sending informational or promotional communications relating to the Controller's activities, as well as for analyzing preferences and usage patterns of the Site through tracking tools not strictly necessary for the operation of the service.

The provision of data necessary for sending communications, information requests, or other voluntary interactions with the Controller is optional, but failure to provide the requested data may make it impossible to respond to requests or provide the services requested by the user.

The provision of data for additional purposes that require the data subject's consent, such as sending promotional communications or using specific tracking technologies not strictly necessary for the operation of the Site, is free and optional. Failure to provide consent does not affect the ability to use the Site or make purchases but may limit access to certain features or ancillary services.

In any case, the user is free to decide whether or not to provide their personal data, it being understood that failure to provide data indicated as necessary may prevent the Controller from providing the requested services or executing the contractual relationship.

The Controller adopts appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account the nature of the data processed, the purposes of processing, and the characteristics of the systems used. These measures are aimed at preventing unauthorized access, loss, destruction, alteration, undue disclosure, or unlawful use of personal data.
