Updated information note according to Regulation (EU) 2016/679
(known as “GDPR”)
Preamble
Giordano Vini spa (hereinafter, also: “Giordano” o “the Controller”) cares for the users’ privacy and their rights and, since Internet may put at risk confidentiality of information, it intends to undertake to respect rules of conduct while collecting and processing data, in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European parliament and of the Council of 27April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing directive 95/46/EC (so-called “GDPR”), which ensure a safe, controlled and confidential navigation in the network.
This policy may change with passing of the time, also as a result of amendments and integrations at a legislative level or as a consequence of our institutional purposes and decisions. So, we invite you to periodically read this section, from time to time. Thank you for reading the rules which our company undertakes to apply during the collection and the processing of data, so that it can always give its users a satisfactory service, when they access this website or other websites which belong to Giordano.
Principles of Giordano’s privacy policy
Data source
Personal data are usually provided by the data subject. However, there may be services where personal data have not been obtained from the data subject. For example, when the customer places an order for another person (“beneficiary”). In such case, personal data are not provided by the beneficiary but by an active customer, who is a third party.
Purposes of data processing and means of processing – legal basis for the processing – criteria used to collect data
Purposes of processing
As best explained in the sections in which you can provide – directly or indirectly also filling forms displayed – your personal data, such data are used to reply to the users’ requests. All collection activities – and subsequent processing – of data are aimed at pursuing the institutional and business purposes of Giordano and, in particular:
Means of data processing
Legal basis for the processing
The legal basis for the processing depends on the purposes of data processing. Here are listed the different legal basis applied for the purposes pursued by Giordano.
Criteria used to collect data
Data required in forms to be filled in may be mandatory or optional. Mandatory data are strictly necessary to perform the data subject’s request and if they are not provided, we will not be able to fulfil the request. Therefore, the user is free to provide data requested in the forms or, anyway, data requested to contact Giordano in order to ask for information or for the purposes mentioned above. If data are mandatory and the user does not provide them, this can imply the impossibility of obtaining what requested. The Controller has implemented appropriate organisational and technical measures for ensuring that only personal data which are necessary for each specific purpose are processed, in compliance with art. 25, GDPR (“Data Protection by design and by default”) which provides that before processing, the controller must implement appropriate technical and organisational measures, such as “pseudonymisation” (art. 4, comma 5, GDPR: “the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person”), which are designed to implement data protection principles, such as data minimisation, in an effective manner and to integrate the necessary safeguards into the processing in order to meet the requirements of GDPR and protect the rights of data subjects. Besides, Giordano has implemented organisational and technical adequate and preventative measures so that only data necessary for each purpose of processing are processed (principle of “data protection by default”).
Criteria used to determine the period for which data will be stored
Personal data will be stored in our filing system (art. 4, comma 6, GDPR: “any structured set of personal data which are accessible according to specific criteria, whether centralised, decentralised or dispersed on a functional or geographical basis”) with criteria depending on the category of data, the nature of processing and the purposes of data processing. The criteria or the period of storage are described in information to be provided pursuant to art. 13, GDPR, when data are collected.
Generally, these are the criteria determined by Giordano for data storage:
After the periods stated above, identification data are transformed in anonymous data and used only for statistical reports and analysis which do not allow to trace the identity of the person, but which are useful to improve and adjust our services and products to the needs of our target market. Identification data will be, therefore, destroyed, unless otherwise provided by supervisory authorities, law enforcement or judiciary as well as to exercise, enforce or defend rights of Giordano or of third parties in court.
Where data are processed
Processing carried out for the purposes of the performance of services provided by this website takes place at Giordano’s headquarter and are performed by the persons authorised to processing. If need be, personal data can be processed by companies which are in charge of the technological management of the website (data processors designated pursuant to art. 28, GDPR), at their offices.
Transfers of personal data to third Countries or international organisations
Even though data processing is usually carried out using the Controller’s server and/or third companies entrusted and appointed as data processors, within European Union, if need be, Giordano will have the right to transfer personal data to third Countries. In this case, the Controller assures that the transfer will take place in accordance with provisions in force, on the basis of an agreement or contract which ensures an adequate level of protection and/or by adopting the contractual clauses provided by the Decision 5th February 2010 of the European Commission (articles 45, 46, 47 and 49, GDPR).
Personal data will be transferred to third Countries, mainly to perform customer services activities and telemarketing campaign, adopting the contractual clauses set forth in the Decision 5th February 2010 of the European Commission for the transfer of personal data to data processors, pursuant to article 46; GDPR and for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, in compliance with art. 49, par. 1, letter b), GDPR.

Credit card and financial information needed for purchases
In case of purchase paid with credit card, Giordano ensures the utmost confidentiality and security. Information on credit card (number, expiration date, data identification’s owner) can be known only by the issuing institution. Giordano has knowledge of a code (“token”) which does not allow to know the credit card holder’s identity and the credit card details. Payment by credit card is secure thanks to a transaction system developed by Easy Nolo S.p.A. (Banca Sella Group), having registered office in Piazza Gaudenzio Sella 1, 13900 Biella – Italy, VAT IT02027040027. Credit card information collection is carried out through SSL protocol (Secure Sockets Layer), the most widespread security protocol, which has the main aim of ensuring confidentiality and reliability of communication between the user’s device and the bank’s server, encrypting data at 128 bits. Using this system, the user communicates data on the credit card only to the secure serve of Easy Nolo S.p.A.
Finally, Giordano cannot be held responsible for unauthorised uses and fraud by third parties carried out on information relating to means used for the payment of the purchase.
