Pursuant to Articles 9 and 10 of EU Regulation No. 2016/679, the Law Firm may collect data qualifying as “special categories of personal data”, i.e., data revealing “racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or beliefs, or trade union membership, genetic or health status or sexual orientation.” Such categories of data may only be processed with your specific express written consent.
The Personal Data collected on the Website includes:
• Navigation data
During their normal operation, the IT systems and software procedures used to operate the Website acquire some personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols.
This is information that is not collected for the purpose of associating it with identified data subjects, but which by its very nature could, through processing and association with other data, allow users to be identified.
This category of data includes the IP addresses or the domain names of the computer devices used.

• Data provided voluntarily by the user
Through the Website you have the option of voluntarily providing personal data (e.g. name, surname, address, company, telephone, email) in order to receive legal assistance and advice, to attend training events or to contact the Law Firm.
• The Firm shall process your personal data in accordance with the Applicable Regulations.

3. Purpose of data processing and disclosure
The Personal Data that you provide through the Website may be used for one or more of the following purposes:
• Rendering legal advice and assistance
The Personal Data provided shall be processed and stored for the performance of the business relationship and, where necessary, in order to exercise your right of defence.

• Registration for events
The Personal Data collected by filling in the registration form for events organised and/or sponsored by the Law Firm (name, surname, company, email) shall be processed solely for the purpose of your registration for the requested event.

• Sharing with third parties
Only with your prior consent, for events organised by the Law Firm in collaboration with third parties, may the data collected by filling in the event registration form (name, surname, company, e-mail) be disclosed to such parties so they may send you informative, promotional and/or marketing communications.
Such third parties will process your data as autonomous Data Controllers.
For this specific purpose, you freely and voluntarily provide your data and consent to its processing. Any refusal will merely entail that you will not be able to receive the abovementioned communications.

• Managing unsolicited applications
The personal data collected through the email (name, surname, city, telephone number, email, curriculum vitae and any cover letter) will be processed for the sole purpose of analysing the professional profile and for any subsequent interview.
The provision of such data, limited to name, surname, telephone number, email and curriculum vitae, is required in order to respond to your request. Consequently, the failure to provide such data will not permit the Law Firm to consider your professional profile and to assess whether to establish any type of collaborative relationship.

• Research purposes and/or statistical analysis
Navigation data is used solely for the purpose of research and/or anonymous statistical information regarding the use of the website and to verify that it is functioning correctly.
