PRIVACY POLICY -
pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679

Genia Business recognises the importance of privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to all products, services and websites offered by Genia Business S.r.l. or its subsidiaries and affiliates, referred to below simply as Genia Business “services”.

Genia Business adheres to the privacy principles established by the Italian Government and the European Community concerning notices, choices, transfers, security, data integrity, access and enforcement.

USE OF DATA COLLECTED BY GENIA BUSINESS
To provide our full range of services, we may collect the following types of information:

Information you provide - When you register for a Genia Business account or sign up for another Genia Business service or promotion, we ask you to provide personal information (such as your name, email address and account password). Some services may require a credit card number or other payment information for your account, which will not be recorded or stored by our system. We may combine the information you submit through your account with information from other Genia Business services or third parties to make browsing easier and improve the quality of our services.

User communications - When you send emails or other communications to Genia Business, we may retain those communications to process and fulfil your requests and improve our services.

Affiliated Genia Business services on other websites - Some of our services are offered on or through other websites. Personal information provided to those websites may be sent to Genia Business to enable us to deliver the service. Such information is processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Affiliated websites through which our services are offered may have different privacy policies, so you are encouraged to consult their policies.

Other applications - Genia Business may make third-party applications available through its services. Information collected by Genia Business when you enable another application is processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Information collected by the application provider is governed by that provider’s privacy policy.

Links - Genia Business may present links in a format that enables us to track whether they have been followed. We use this information to improve the quality of the content and services we offer on a personalised basis.

Other websites - This Privacy Policy applies only to Genia Business services. We have no control over websites that include Genia Business applications, products or services. These websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or request personal information from you.
Genia Business processes personal information only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. In addition to those mentioned above, these purposes include:

  • providing our services to users, including displaying personalised advertising and content;

  • conducting audits, research and analysis to manage, protect and improve our services;

  • ensuring the technical operation of our network;

  • protecting the rights or property of Genia Business and its users;

  • developing new services.


Genia Business processes personal information on its servers in Italy and other countries. In some cases, personal information may be processed on a server outside your country of residence. We reserve the right to process personal information to provide our services. In some cases, we may process personal information on behalf of third parties, such as our advertising partners, and in accordance with their instructions.

Choices regarding personal information
Genia Business undertakes not to collect or use sensitive data for purposes other than those described in this Privacy Policy.
You may decline to provide personal information to any of our services, in which case Genia Business may be unable to provide the service.

Data sharing
Genia Business shares personal information with companies or individuals outside Genia Business in the following circumstances:

  • You have given your consent authorising Genia Business to share your personal information.

  • We provide this information to our subsidiaries and affiliates or other trusted companies or individuals who process personal information on our behalf. We require these parties to process personal information in accordance with our instructions and this Privacy Policy, together with other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

  • We have good reason to believe that access to, use, preservation or disclosure of this information is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or government request; (b) enforce the relevant Terms of Service, including investigating potential violations; (c) detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud or technical or security issues; or (d) protect the rights, property or safety of Genia Business, its users and the public as required or permitted by law.

  • If Genia Business is involved in a merger, acquisition or other sale of all or part of its assets, we undertake to maintain the confidentiality of all personal information affected by those transactions and to provide appropriate notice before personal information is transferred to third parties and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

  • We may share certain aggregated, non-personal information with third parties, such as the number of users who searched for a particular term or clicked on a particular advertisement. This type of information does not identify you personally.


Information security
We adopt appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorised access to, or unauthorised alteration, disclosure or destruction of, data. These measures include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing procedures and security measures, as well as physical safeguards to prevent unauthorised access to systems where personal information is stored.
Access to personal information is restricted to Genia Business employees, external contractors and agents who need this information to manage, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to disciplinary action, including dismissal and criminal penalties, if they fail to meet those obligations.

Data integrity
Genia Business processes personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this Privacy Policy or any privacy notice applicable to a specific service. We regularly review our data collection, storage and processing procedures to ensure that we collect, store and process only the personal information needed to provide or improve our services, or as otherwise permitted by this Policy. We take appropriate steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate, complete and up to date, but our users are responsible for updating or correcting their personal information where necessary.

Accessing and updating personal information
When you use Genia Business services, we make good-faith efforts to provide access to your personal information and offer to correct it if it is inaccurate, or delete it at your request unless it must be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. Before processing such requests, we ask individual users to identify themselves and the information they wish to access, correct or remove. We also reserve the right to decline requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require excessive technical effort, jeopardise the privacy of others, are highly impractical (for example, requests concerning information stored on backup tapes), or involve access that is not required. Whenever we provide access or correction, we do so free of charge, except where this would require disproportionate effort. Some of our services have different procedures for accessing, correcting or deleting users’ personal information.

Enforcement
Genia Business regularly reviews its compliance with this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or Genia Business’s processing of personal information, please contact Genia Business through this website or write to:
GENIA BUSINESS S.r.l. - Via Caduti del Pilastro 8 - 40055 CASTENASO (BO)

Genia Business responds to users who submit formal written complaints to this address to investigate the issue raised. We undertake to cooperate with the competent authorities to resolve complaints concerning the transfer of personal information that cannot be resolved directly between Genia Business and the companies or individuals concerned.

Changes to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may change over time. We will publish any changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, provide a prominent notice (for some services, we will notify users of changes by email).
