Privacy and cookie policy
In compliance with the obligations arising from national legislation (Privacy Code) and European legislation (General Data Protection Regulation EU 679/2016), Pila Sport Sas respects and protects the privacy of visitors and users.
This privacy policy applies both to information collected through the website and through other channels.
1 – Legal Basis for Processing
By using or browsing this website, visitors and users explicitly approve this privacy policy and consent to the processing of their personal data in relation to the methods and purposes described below, including any disclosure to third parties where necessary for the provision of a service.
Providing data and therefore consenting to the collection and processing of data is optional. The User may refuse consent and may revoke consent already given at any time. However, refusing consent may make it impossible to provide certain services and may affect the browsing experience on the website.
The data of registered Customers are processed on the basis of the contract in force with Pila Sport Sas from the moment the contract is concluded.
2 – Purposes of Processing
Processing of personal data means: registration, storage, organization, consultation, selection, extraction, comparison, processing, use, modification, interconnection, blocking, communication, deletion and destruction, transfer or disclosure, or the combination of two or more such operations.
The processing of data collected through the website, in addition to purposes related, instrumental and necessary to the provision of the service, is aimed at the following purposes:
2.1 – Statistics
Collection of data and information exclusively in aggregate and anonymous form in order to verify the correct functioning of the website and improve the online store and platform. None of this information is associated with the physical person using the website and does not allow identification in any way.
2.2 – Security
Collection of data and information in order to protect the security of the website and users (anti-spam filters, firewalls, virus detection) and to prevent or detect fraud or abuse against the website.
Such data are never used for identification or profiling purposes and are periodically deleted.
2.3 – Shopping / Service Provision
Collection of data to manage orders, provide products and services, process payments, communicate with users regarding orders, services and promotional offers, update records and generally manage user accounts, display content such as wish lists and customer reviews, and recommend products and services that may be of interest to users.
2.4 – Ancillary Activities
Communicating data to third parties who perform functions necessary or instrumental to the operation of the service and allowing third parties to carry out technical, logistical and other activities on our behalf.
This website uses suppliers to perform certain activities, such as fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending traditional mail, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments and providing customer services.
Suppliers only have access to the personal data necessary to perform their duties and undertake not to use the data for other purposes, and are required to process personal data in accordance with applicable regulations. This category of data is retained only for the period necessary to provide the service.
3 – Data Collected
3.1 – Automatically Collected Data
No analytical data collection services concerning user navigation are used.
3.2 – Voluntarily Provided Data
The website may collect additional data when users voluntarily use services such as comments, communications (chat, contact forms and email requests).
Such data are voluntarily provided by the User when requesting the service or submitting a comment and will be used exclusively for the provision of the requested service and processed only for the time necessary to provide the service.
Tax data are necessary in order to use paid services and for invoicing purposes.
Data collected by the website are not disclosed to third parties, unless required by a lawful request from judicial authorities and only in cases provided by law. However, data may be provided to third parties where necessary to provide a specific service requested by the User, or for tax purposes, security checks, or website optimization activities.
4 – Place of Processing
Data collected through the website are processed at the Data Controller’s premises and in data centers located within the European Economic Area (EEA), and are handled only by personnel authorized to process them. Personal data are processed using automated and non-automated tools for the time strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which they were collected.
5 – Data Retention Period
Collected data are processed for the time necessary to achieve the purposes for which they were collected and in any case no longer than required by law.
Data required for tax purposes are retained until the relevant tax assessments are finalized, therefore for at least 10 years and longer if the relevant fiscal year is not yet time-barred.
At the end of the retention period, data will be deleted or anonymized unless further retention purposes exist (e.g., warranty obligations or tax obligations).
6 – Transfer of Data to Third Parties and Non-EU Countries
This website, in carrying out its activities and providing requested services, may need to transfer certain data to third parties that perform specific tasks connected with website operations. Suppliers only have access to the data necessary to perform their tasks and are required to process them in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
In the event of a business transfer or transfer of business units, Customers’ personal data form part of the transferred assets but remain subject to the commitments contained in this Privacy Policy unless new consent is requested.
If data are transferred to companies located outside the European Union (for example Google, Facebook and Microsoft – for LinkedIn and Skype), we ensure that such transfers comply with applicable regulations and particularly the GDPR. Transfers are authorized based on specific decisions of the European Union and the Data Protection Authority, including Decision 1250/2016 (Privacy Shield).
The User expressly consents to such transfers upon activation of the contract.
