  1. purposes related to the finalisation of the warranty extension contract and the management and execution of works under warranty and associated procedures, including the management of communications and deliveries, the making of payments and any other contractual activities requiring the processing of your personal data; the legal basis for this purpose is the fulfilment of a contract to which you are a party, under article 6, first comma, subsection b), of the GDPR or, if you are an employee/contact of the legal person customer, the legitimate interest of the Data Controller, under article 6, first comma, subsection f) of the GDPR, deriving from the need to interact with the legal person customer though you;
  2. administrative-accounting purposes or purposes of compliance with laws, regulations and the instructions of authorities; the legal basis for this purpose is the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which the Data Controller is subject under article 6, first comma, subsection c) of the GDPR;

  4. marketing purposes via conventional means (e.g. telephone contact with operator, paper mail, etc.), via email, or automated contacts (e.g. email campaigns, SMS, automated telephone contact, instant messaging, social media, etc.); the legal basis of the data processing is the issue of your consent, under article 6, first comma, subsection a) of the GDPR.

To enable this, your personal data may be processed to send you customer satisfaction questionnaires followed, if considered appropriate by the Data Controller, by a telephone contact to investigate specific aspects you have reported. The legal basis for the processing of your data for these purposes is your specific consent, under article 6, first comma, subsection a) of the GDPR, which you may issue in the form provided at the end of this Privacy Policy Statement.
