With your consent, we process the personal data you provide when you interact with the newsletter subscription form. This data includes, in particular, your first name, last name, contact information, country, age, as well as any additional data that the Data Controller may collect, including from third parties, in the course of its business (“Data”).
To allow us to process the requests you send us via the contact form, you must consent to the processing of the data you enter and provide at least the information marked with an asterisk (*). If the required data or consent is missing, we will not be able to proceed. Conversely, consent and the information requested in fields not marked with an asterisk are optional: if you choose not to provide them, there will be no consequences.
In any case, the Data Controller may process your Data, even without your prior consent, to comply with legal obligations, regulations, and EU legislation; to exercise rights in court; to pursue its legitimate interests; and for all cases provided for in Articles 6 and 9 of the Regulation, where applicable.

3. Why we process your data and how
Your data is processed for the following purposes:
*to manage your request to subscribe to the newsletter; the legal basis for processing your personal data for this purpose is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the Regulation). Please note that the newsletters you receive contain a “pixel tag,” through which the Company collects certain information, e.g., whether and when you opened and/or deleted the email, which links in the newsletter you clicked, your email client, whether the email was opened from more than one IP address, as well as certain anonymous and aggregated information regarding users’ geographic locations, etc. The Company processes this information to verify the effectiveness of its informational campaigns, pursuant to Article 6.1.(f) of the Regulation. Many service providers and email clients allow you to set a specific function that prevents such tracking—please check the relevant settings if you do not wish the Company to process the aforementioned information.
By checking the appropriate box, you consent to the processing for the aforementioned purpose.
Your data may, however, be processed—even without your consent—to comply with legal obligations, regulations, and EU legislation (Article 6.1.(c) of the Regulation), to compile statistics on the use of the Website and ensure its functionality (Article 6.1. (f) of the Regulation), to implement the Menarini Group Code of Conduct, and to defend its rights in court (Articles 6.1.(f) and 9.2.(f) of the Regulation).
Personal data is entered into the company’s information system in full compliance with applicable privacy regulations, including security and confidentiality requirements, and in accordance with the principles of fairness, lawfulness, and transparency in processing. The data will be retained for the period strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected; in any case, the criterion used to determine this period is based on compliance with the timeframes permitted by applicable laws and the principles of data minimization, storage limitation, and rational archive management.
All user data is also processed using both paper-based and automated tools, all of which are suitable for ensuring security and confidentiality.
