Your data may be made accessible to employees and collaborators of the Controller in their capacity as authorized data processors and/or system administrators and/or other subjects (by way of example: professional firms, consultants, software houses providing management software, etc.) who perform outsourced activities on our behalf, in their capacity as external data processors. We do not disseminate your data in any way. The recipients of the processing, instead, are those who receive communications of personal data from the Controller and who, following such communication, act as independent Data Controllers. These include:

  • Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube: when you click on the icons of social networks and platforms, you will be redirected to pages external to the website and you accept to share some of your data with the Controllers of that service.
