Why and when do we collect your personal data?

We collect your personal data in order to be able to contact you. If you complete any of our forms, contact us through any of our channels, send us your CV, or subscribe to any of our newsletters, we will need to get in touch with you. For this reason, it is important that you authorize us to collect your data so that we can establish, manage, and maintain this line of communication with you. It is important for you to know that when you provide us with any information, you assume full responsibility for the accuracy of such data and you also confirm that you are of legal age or have the appropriate authorization to contact us. We assume, by default, that it is your responsibility to ensure that such data does not involve any infringement, falsehood, or violation. We would like to inform you that we do not carry out international transfers of your personal data, nor do we disclose it to third parties, unless you expressly authorize us to do so or we are required to do
so by law or by a judicial or administrative order.

How long will we retain your personal data?

We will not retain your personal data beyond the time strictly necessary to establish, manage, and maintain communication with you. We will retain your personal data for only as long as is necessary depending on the purpose for which you authorized us to use it, and in any case for no longer than three (3) years from the date of collection, unless it is necessary to retain it for a longer period due to a legal obligation or for the defense of our legitimate rights and interests.
Your data belongs to you, and we do not wish to retain it unnecessarily.
