for compulsory fulfilments pursuant to tax and accounting laws or regulations;
for the protection of Opinion Ciatti’s rights arising from the contract.
For the above mentioned purposes, common data such as name, surname, taxpayer’s code, place and date of birth, residence address, email address, social account references (in case of social login), telephone number, mobile phone number may be requested and processed, also based on the User’s request.

The legal basis for this processing is represented by the Data Subject’s consent to receive communications for marketing purposes (art. 6.1.a of the Regulation), which may be revoked at any time.
Opinion Ciatti may also use the email address provided within the sale of a product or service for the direct sale of its products or services (direct marketing), without requiring the consent of the Data Subject and provided that the services are similar to those being sold. The Data Subject may refuse such use of their data, either initially or through a subsequent communication.

3. Nature of data provision and consequences of refusal to provide data
