In any case, you retain the right to withdraw your consent and authorisation and to object to processing at any time based on a legitimate interest for reasons associated with your particular situation.

What are your rights?
Regulations give you the right to always have control of your data. You have the following rights with regard to your data:

  • Access.
  • Correction.
  • Erasure.
  • Withdrawal of consent.
  • Restriction of processing.
  • Opposition to processing.
  • Portability.

Your rights are guaranteed without any particular obligations or procedures for their exercise, which is essentially understood to be free of charge. You have the right:

    • To obtain a copy of the data you have requested access to, even in electronic format. If you need to request additional copies, Benelli Armi S.p.A. can charge you a reasonable fee.
    • To have them erased or the processing restricted or even the updating and correction of your personal data.
    • If your data have been disclosed to others, you have the right for the other data controllers or recipients to be informed by Benelli Armi S.p.A. of your request and the outcome of the exercise of your rights so that they can also erase, suspend or interrupt the processing or correct your data.
    • To obtain any useful communication regarding the activities carried out following the exercise of your rights, without delay and in any case within one month of your request, unless justifiably extended up to two months, which must be duly communicated to you.

Essentially, at any time and free of charge and without any particular obligations or procedures for your request, you can:

  • Receive confirmation of the processing performed by Benelli Armi S.p.A.
  • Access your personal data and know their origin (when the data are not obtained from you directly), the purposes of the processing, the data of the parties to whom they are disclosed, the storage period for your data or criteria useful for determining it.
  • Withdraw consent at any time if consent is the basis for the processing. However, the withdrawal of consent does not prejudice the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent given before the withdrawal.
  • Update or rectify your personal data so that they are always accurate.
  • Erase your personal data from the databases and/or archives, including backups, of Benelli Armi S.p.A. in the case, among others, where they are no longer necessary for the purposes of the processing or if processing is assumed to be illegitimate and if the conditions established by law exist, and in any case if the processing is not justified by another equally legitimate reason.
  • Restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example where you have challenged their accuracy, for the period necessary for Benelli Armi S.p.A. to verify their accuracy. You must be informed in a reasonable time even when the suspension period has expired or the reason for the restriction of processing no longer exists and therefore the restriction itself is revoked.
  • Obtain your personal data – if received or processed by Benelli Armi S.p.A. with your consent and/or if their processing is done on the basis of a contract and with automated tools – in electronic format, even in order to transmit them to another data controller.

Benelli Armi S.p.A. must respond without delay and, in any case, no later than one month after receiving your request. The deadline may be extended by two months if necessary, considering the complexity and the number of requests received by Benelli Armi S.p.A. In such cases, Benelli Armi S.p.A. must inform you within one month of receiving your request and inform you of the reasons for the extension.
For further information and in any case to submit any requests, please contact Benelli Armi S.p.A. at the address privacy@franchi.com.

How and when can you object to the processing of your personal data?
For reasons related to your particular situation, you may object at any time to the processing of your personal data if it is based on a legitimate interest, sending your request to Benelli Armi S.p.A. at the address privacy@franchi.com.
You have the right to the erasure of your personal data if there is no legitimate reason that takes precedence over your request, and in any case Benelli Armi S.p.A. notes that the withdrawal will have no effect with respect to the processing already carried out of the images or in the event that their erasure/removal has become impossible or otherwise excessively difficult, for example in the case of storage by third parties on computers or other media and publication of company brochures or catalogues.

Who can you submit complaints to?
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial actions, you can lodge a complaint with the Personal Data Protection Authority (following the instructions given by the Authority at the link: http://www.garanteprivacy.it/web/guest/home/docweb/-/docweb-display/docweb/4535524), unless you reside or work in another member state. In the latter case or if the violation of the legislation on the protection of personal data takes place in another EU country, the local supervisory authorities will have jurisdiction over the complaint.
You will be promptly informed by appropriate means each time this policy is updated, and you will be notified if Benelli Armi S.p.A. processes your data for purposes other than those referred to in this policy before proceeding and in time for you to provide your consent if necessary.
