DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION According to the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) (from December 2022)

Introduction
The Macchia Verde Bio olive oil factory operates its website under the Internet domain https://macchiaverdebio.com, all sub-domains belonging to these domains, as well as the associated online and offline software tools and applications, can generally be used without the need to provide personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) are collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis, as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

We point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication via e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The use by third parties of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation to send advertising and information material that has not been expressly requested is hereby expressly prohibited. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam mails.

Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing them other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted from your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held by Google.

Use of cookies
Cookies are used on our websites. Cookies are small files that store data in the memory of your browser for technical session control purposes. This data does not contain any information that we can assign to a natural person. Session cookies are used when you use the website. Session cookies are used for secure authentication and are deleted when you log out of a password-protected area of the website. Cookies help us to analyse web traffic on our website. In addition, in individual cases, cookies can support web applications that can tailor the use of the website specifically to your needs and, in that context, retain information about existing preferences. Furthermore, we would like to point out that browsers usually have cookie management functions that allow you to prevent the installation of cookies with appropriate settings, which may, however, lead to a limitation in the use of the website.

Security
MacchiaVerdeBio takes all necessary technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against loss and misuse. For example, your data will be stored in a secure operating environment that is not accessible to third parties. Should you wish to contact Filippo Spadaro by e-mail, please note that, due to the nature of the Internet, the confidentiality of the information transmitted can never be guaranteed 100%, and that the content of e-mails may be viewed by unauthorized third parties. We therefore recommend that you send us confidential information by post only.

Storage period
We process and store your data for the duration of our contractual relationship. In addition, we are subject to storage and documentation obligations with specified periods of up to 10 years (e.g. tax law requirements). Furthermore, special legal requirements may necessitate a longer retention period, e.g. proof of statutory limitation periods. If data is no longer required for the fulfilment of contractual or legal obligations, it will be regularly deleted, unless its limited further processing is necessary for the fulfilment of the aforementioned purposes.
