3. Who will process your data?

Your personal data will be processed by the internal staff of Piccolini.

Your personal data will also be transmitted to third parties that we use to provide our services. These parties may only use your data for the exact purposes that we specify to them.

The third parties in question belong to the following categories:

  • Companies such as payment service providers that help us to process your order.
  • Companies that help us to deliver your purchases such as couriers and parcel delivery companies who deliver your goods and act as Data Controllers for the duration of the delivery process.
  • Professional service providers, such as email delivery suppliers, IT software providers, marketing and research agencies, analytics companies and website hosts who help us to run our business,
  • Governmental bodies and regulators to comply with our legal obligations.

4. Data transfer outside the European Union

Piccolini uses Microsoft Azure and related services to host the website. Most Azure services are deployed regionally and enable the customer to specify the region into which the service will be deployed. Certain Azure services do not enable the customer to specify the region where the service will be deployed. These services may store or process customer data in any Microsoft datacenter unless otherwise specified.

Some Microsoft online services share data with third parties acting as its subprocessors. The publicly disclosed ‘Microsoft Online Services Subprocessors List’ identifies subprocessors authorized to process customer data or personal data. All such subprocessors are contractually obligated to meet or exceed the contractual commitments Microsoft makes to its customers.

Microsoft will not provide any third party (a) direct, blanket, or unfettered access to customers’ data; (b) platform encryption keys used to secure data or the ability to break such encryption; or (c) access to data if Microsoft is aware that the data is to be used for purposes other than those stated in the third party’s request. Further information on Microsoft’s approach to legal disclosure of customer data in relation to government demands is available through the ‘Microsoft Trust-Centre’. Microsoft secures your data using multiple layers of security and encryption protocols.

All data traffic moving between datacenters is protected using IEEE 802.1AE MAC Security Standards, preventing physical ‘man-in-the-middle’ attacks. To maintain resiliency, Microsoft uses variable network paths that sometimes cross Geo boundaries but replication of customer data between regions is always transmitted over encrypted network connections.

Should Piccolini enter into additional contractual relationships with third party organisations which would require the transfer of data to an area outside of the European Union we will ensure that the information is transferred in accordance with this Privacy Policy and as permitted by the applicable laws on data protection. We will adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as stipulated by the European Union.

5. How long do we keep your data?

We keep your personal data for a limited period of time in line with our data retention policy. The specific retention period will vary according to the reason for processing your personal data. After this period, your data will be permanently erased or otherwise irreversibly rendered anonymous.
