In this last case, CARTIERE CARRARA S.p.A. will ensure the Data Subjects are provided with the information in the introduction at the time data regarding them are recorded, or in any case on the first occasion said data are communicated.
Personal data are processed in the course of CARTIERE CARRARA S.p.A’s normal business activity, for the following purposes:

With regard to purposes a) and b), please note that your consent is not required for the processing of your personal data by CARTIERE CARRARA S.p.A., including the communication of said data to the subjects mentioned in paragraph 7 below, because this processing is necessary to comply with the obligations deriving from the contract and/or for carrying out the services you requested, as well as for compliance with legal obligations. As regards point c), each Data Subject is entitled, at any time, to withdraw the consent provided to CARTIERE CARRARA S.p.A. for the processing and/or communication of his/her data to the subjects mentioned in paragraph 7) below; this will not damage the contractual relationship in any way.

Specifically, CARTIERE CARRARA S.p.A. processes personal data – referring to customers and potential customers – such as name, address, personal identification data, tax ID code, etc. For this reason, we ask you not to provide us with “sensitive” and/or “legal” data. However, should CARTIERE CARRARA S.p.A., in order to conduct its business, need to process data of a “sensitive” nature, the company will provide you with a supplement to this Information and the pertinent request for your consent for processing.
For the purposes described in paragraph 4), CARTIERE CARRARA S.p.A., needs to transmit your personal data to third parties in Italy and abroad, belonging to the following categories:

We may transfer your personal data to the third parties indicated in paragraph 7 above, based in other countries, so that they may process the personal data on our behalf.
Please note that not all countries offer the same legal protection for the processing of personal data. In these cases, Cartiere Carrara S.p.A. undertakes to ensure adequate guarantees are offered for the protection of your personal data, in observance of the regulations in force, and to provide timely notification to Data Subjects with reference to the aforementioned guarantees and on how to obtain a copy of said data or information on the place where they have been made available.
Finally, please note that the Data Protection Regulations grant Data Subjects the possibility to exercise a number of specific rights. Specifically, Data Subjects may:
obtain confirmation of the existence of data regarding them, even if not yet recorded, and the communication thereof in an intelligible form, as well as a copy of the data processed
request information regarding the origin of personal data, the purposes for which and the means by which they are processed, as well as the logic applied in the event data are processed using electronic tools, if they are collected by third parties

obtain the blocking or anonymisation of data and other limits to the processing thereof in the cases provided for by law

submit complaints to the supervisory authority to report an unlawful use of their personal data.

Please also note that providing your data for the purposes set forth in paragraph 4, letter c) is not mandatory, because the legal principle governing the processing of your data for the aforementioned purposes is founded upon specific, unequivocal, freely given consent. However, failure to provide your data will make it impossible for Cartiere Carrara to process your data.
