Personal data processed

When you visit the Site, contact us (by email, by phone, by post, etc.), subscribe to the newsletter or place an order, we process some of your Personal Data, either independently or through third parties.

We list the categories of personal data processed:

  1. Identification, contact and login data: first and last name, email address, telephone number, any data relating to the booking and the contract of carriage (including those related to assistance and improvement of the customer experience), as well as any personal data used to send surveys and to encourage the publication of opinions/feedback through Trustpilot;

  5. Billing and payment data: tax and accounting data (VAT number, tax code, billing address, company name if applicable), bank and payment data (bank account number or IBAN code for transfers, payment card details).

Purpose of the Processing and Legal Basis

The Data Controller will process the Users’ Personal Data, as listed above, for the performance of its economic and commercial activities, for the specific purposes indicated below.

 

  1. Purposes relating to the Contract and the Legal Obligations
  2. Browsing the Site;
  3. Registration and management of the account (recovery of credentials, cancellation, etc.) and use of related services;
  4. Activities necessary for the conclusion of the contract for the purchase of the services sold by the Site and its execution;
  5. Order processing;
  6. Assistance and customer care activities as well as to respond to requests, complaints, reports and objections from Users via email to the Data Controller’s addresses or through other communication channels;
  7. Management of User requests through remote communication tools, such as email, chat, telephone, SMS, chatbots, banners, notification systems and other remote communication tools present on the Site;
  8. Fulfilment of obligations deriving from current law, regulations or EU legislation (e.g. tax and accounting obligations) or management and response to requests from the competent administrative, tax and judicial authorities;
  9. Activities of an administrative, accounting and tax nature such as activities related to the contract concluded through the Site, such as, by way of example, the issuance of receipts and/or invoices, the keeping of accounting records;
  10. Response to requests to exercise the rights recognized to Users by the contract entered into with the Data Controller, by the law in relation to this contract or by the GDPR, and consequent activities.

For these purposes, the Legal Basis is the need to execute the pre-contractual and contractual obligations to which the User is a party (art. 6.1.b) of the GDPR) or the fulfilment of legal obligations to which the Data Controller is subject (art. 6.1.c) of the GDPR).

Therefore, with the exception of account registration data, which is optional, their processing is necessary to allow the conclusion and execution of the contract through the Site or to respond to pre-contractual requests made by the User in relation to the Site. Failure to provide data, therefore, will make it impossible for the User to conclude a contract through the Site and/or to receive a response to the requests made.

 

  1. Analytics and statistics and other non-consensus-based purposes
  2. To carry out statistical analyses with respect to the use of the Site, navigation, product research, to improve the site and the offer of products sold through it;
  3. Purpose of service quality control, specifically with regard to the recording of phone calls with Customer Service;
  4. To ensure compliance with the contractual rights of the Data Controller or to demonstrate that it has fulfilled the obligations arising from the contract with the data subject or imposed by law, to prevent and/or repress fraudulent or harmful actions;
  5. Remind the User who has undertaken the purchase process that he has placed a product in his shopping cart.

The legal basis for this processing is legitimate interest (art. 6.1.f) of the Regulation). Sometimes the Legal Basis consists of the legitimate interest (Article 6, paragraph 1, letter f) in conjunction with recital 47 of the Regulation), for sending transactional email communications (e.g. abandoned cart).

 

  1. Direct Marketing and Profiling Purposes
  2. With the User’s consent, we will send commercial emails to show them updates, news, offers and promotions, market research, including through automated processing tools such as emails and newsletters.
  3. With the User’s consent, we will process his/her Personal Data to attribute particular characteristics, preferences, and send him/her, also through automated processing tools such as “retargeting” or through the inclusion in clusters of subjects with common characteristics, personalized and diversified commercial communications, based on his/her profile.

For these purposes, the processing, including the final decision about the promotional communication to be sent or displayed to the user based on the cluster(s) to which the user belongs, takes place automatically, without human intervention, on the basis of algorithms whose parameters have been previously set.

The legal basis is the User’s express consent to the processing of personal data for these purposes (art. 6.1.a) of the Regulation. The provision of data for these purposes is optional. In the event of lack of consent, revocation of the same or exercise of the right to object, the possibility for the User to make purchases on the Site will not be affected in any way.

  1. Soft-spam

To send commercial communications to the User’s email address issued as part of the purchase of products through the Site, to propose the direct sale of similar products. This activity does not require the acquisition of the prior express consent of the interested party as it is exercised on the legal basis referred to in art. 130, paragraph 4, of the Privacy Code (Legislative Decree no. 196 of 30 June 2003) which expressly allows it, provided that the user does not refuse such use, initially or on the occasion of subsequent communications.

  1. Geolocation

To allow the use of the services and features of the Site/app that require the detection of geographical location, the Data Controller may process the User’s geolocation data, according to the following methods.

Position detection is necessary for several phases of the service, such as: the identification of the pick-up location, the confirmation of the moment when the customer is taken on board (“customer on board”) and the registration of the completion of the trip (“customer dropped off”).

In ride-hailing OnDemand services, geolocation is essential for both the driver and the customer, as both parties must be able to view the other’s location in real time to allow the correct and safe provision of the service.

For pre-booked private transfer services (scheduled in advance), geolocation will instead be required only for drivers, while for customers it will remain optional unless different future needs are required.

The processing of geolocation data takes place only with the express consent of the User, issued through the device settings or through a special banner/flag at the time of the first activation of the service. The User may withdraw his/her consent at any time by changing the device settings or by contacting the Data Controller at the contact details indicated in this policy.

In the absence of consent, the functions based on geolocation cannot be made available, while it will remain possible to use all the other functions of the Site/app that do not require such data.

Changing your choices and withdrawing your consent

In the event of consent, the User may at any time revoke the consent given and/or object to the processing of personal data for general marketing and profiling purposes through the methods indicated in the ‘Rights of Data Subjects’ section later in this policy.

In the event of withdrawal of consent, the processing carried out on the basis of the consent given before its withdrawal will still be considered legitimate.  In the event of withdrawal of consent and/or opposition to the processing of your data for the purpose of general marketing, the user’s data will no longer be processed for this purpose and will be kept by the Data Controller only in the circumstance in which there is another legal basis that legitimizes the processing (e.g. contractual performance; legal obligation; legitimate interest).

Storage time

The Data Controller will process the Users’ personal data for the time necessary to achieve the purposes for which such data were collected, as defined in this policy. However, for each of the purposes indicated, the personal data collected will be stored for the time specified below:

  1. For the purposes inherent in the Contract, the Data Controller will process the User’s data for the time strictly necessary to carry out the individual processing activities, it being understood that, after this term, the Data Controller may retain the data for the purposes and for the maximum retention periods referred to in the other sections of this policy, if relevant and/or, however, in the cases established by the GDPR and/or by law.
  2. For fiscal, administrative, accounting and legal purposes, until the expiry of the legal terms provided for the performance of each obligation and/or for the retention times provided for by law. In the event of closure of the account at the initiative of the User, the data contained therein will be stored for administrative purposes for a period of 3 months from the request to close the account.
  3. For purposes based on the legitimate interest of the Data Controller, the Data Controller will process the User’s data for the time strictly necessary to satisfy this interest, unless, in the face of disputes and/or complaints, the Data Controller needs to retain personal data to carry out defense activities (letter l) for the following 10 years (statute of limitations) or, In the event of litigation, further retention is determined by the duration of the litigation or by specific requests from the Authority. The User can obtain more information on the legitimate interest pursued by contacting the Data Controller.
  4. For the purpose of direct marketing and profiling, as long as consent is not withdrawn and in any case for a period of 24 months for marketing and 12 months for profiling from when consent has been given or renewed by the User, on the occasion of a new purchase or from the date of the last contact with the User, This means, for example, the opening of the newsletter.
  5. The data collected for geolocation purposes (e.g. to allow the correct functioning of pick-up, on-board, dropped off services and, for OnDemand services, the reciprocal localization between User and driver) will be stored for a maximum period of 4 months from their collection, except for further storage necessary for legal obligations, for legal protection needs or for the management of any complaints.

After these retention periods, the Personal Data will be deleted and the User will no longer be able to exercise the rights of access, cancellation, rectification and portability of the Data.

Communication and dissemination of data

In addition to the Data Controller, in some cases, the following may have access to the Data:

  1. subjects involved in the organization of the Website (for example: administrative, commercial, marketing staff);
