2. COLLECTED DATA
Biz et Vie collects various types of Personal Data, which may be obtained either directly from Users or through third parties. These data include usage data, as well as personal information such as names, last names, email addresses, phone numbers, passwords, company names, VAT identification numbers, countries, and Cookies.
Users may voluntarily provide Personal Data, while certain data, particularly Usage Data, are collected automatically when using this website.
It is important to note that some of the requested data are mandatory, and refusal to provide them may render it impossible for this website to deliver the Service. However, when specific data are indicated as non-mandatory, Users have the freedom to withhold such information without affecting the availability or functionality of the Service.
The use of Cookies or other tracking tools by the site or third-party service providers used by this website is primarily aimed at delivering the requested Service. This usage also aligns with other purposes outlined in this document and in the Cookies Policy.
Users are responsible for any Personal Data of third parties that they obtain, disclose, or share through Biz et Vie. By doing so, Users confirm that they have obtained the necessary consent from these third parties to provide their Data to the Data Controller.
3. HOW AND WHERE THE COLLECTED DATA IS PROCESSED
A. Legal Basis for Processing
The Data Controller may process the User's Personal Data under the following conditions:
- When Data collection is necessary for the performance of a contract with the User and/or any pre-contractual obligations.
- When Users have given their consent for one or more specific purposes until they object to the processing.
- When processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation that the User must adhere to.
- When processing serves the legitimate interests of the Data Controller or a third party.
- When processing is related to a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official powers vested in the Data Controller.
In any case, Wolvio is available to specify the legal bases that apply to the processing, including whether the collection of Personal Data is a contractual or statutory requirement or a necessary step to formalise a contract.
B. Processing Methods
The Data Controller will process Users' Data in an appropriate manner and implement suitable security measures to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of the Data.
Data processing will be conducted using computers and/or IT tools, following organisational procedures and methods directly related to the stated purposes.
In addition to the Data Controller, certain authorised individuals associated with the operation of this Site or external contractors providing services to the Data Controller (such as external technical service providers, hosting companies, IT firms, and communication agencies) may access the Data. If necessary, these individuals will be appointed by the Data Controller as Data Processors. An up-to-date list of such individuals may be requested from the Data Controller at any time.
C. Retention Period
Personal Data will be processed and retained for the period required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Therefore:
- Personal Data collected for the formalization of a contract between the Data Controller and the User will be retained until such contract is fully formalised.
- Personal Data collected in the legitimate interest of Wolvio will be kept for as long as necessary to fulfil that purpose.
- The Data Controller may retain Personal Data for an additional period with the User's consent, provided the consent remains valid.
- Additionally, the Company may be obliged to retain Personal Data for a longer period to comply with legal obligations or orders from authorities.
- Biz et Vie will delete any user information upon their request, no later than fifteen days after receiving the request.
Once the retention period expires, Personal Data must be deleted. Consequently, rights such as access, modification, rectification, and data portability may not be exercised after this period.
D. Location of Processing
Data is processed at the Data Controller's offices and any other locations where the parties involved in processing are situated. Depending on User locations, Data transfers may involve sending User Data to a country other than their own.
The information will be stored on secure servers, maintained and monitored with appropriate privacy protections. The Data Controller may store or transfer Data Subject Information located in the EU to servers situated in countries deemed appropriate by the European Commission, or in countries not deemed inappropriate by the European Commission, provided such countries implement adequate safeguards regarding the security of personal information.
