Users and visitors are requested to read this notice carefully before submitting any personal information or completing any electronic form on the website. Browsing this website does not, in itself, constitute a legal basis for the processing of personal data pursuant to Article 6 GDPR. Processing activities that require the data subject's consent are carried out solely upon its prior collection in the manner prescribed by applicable legislation.
Purposes and Legal Basis of Processing
Personal data provided by users and visitors in connection with requests submitted or services used through this website are processed solely for the purpose of responding to such requests or delivering the requested service and are shared with third parties only where strictly necessary. The legal basis for such processing is the need to fulfil a request made by the data subject or to provide a service specifically requested by the data subject (performance of pre-contractual or contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject).
Where the user or visitor additionally provides their consent, data may also be used for commercial communication activities relating to further services offered by the Controller. In such cases, the legal basis for processing is the freely given consent of the data subject.
In all other cases, browsing data are processed to ensure the correct functioning of the website, on the basis of the legitimate interest of the Controller. Any processing carried out using non-anonymised traffic analysis tools (such as, by way of example, Google Analytics) is performed exclusively on the basis of the data subject's prior consent, where it involves the direct or indirect identification of the user.
Categories of Data Processed and Purposes of Processing
Data derived from browsing
The computer systems and software procedures underlying the operation of this website may, in the course of their normal functioning, collect certain personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of internet communication protocols. This information is not gathered with the intent of associating it with identified individuals; however, by its very nature and through processing and cross-referencing with third-party data, it may enable the indirect identification of users (IP addresses, domain names of computers used to connect, operating system and browser details, timestamps, etc.). Such data may be used solely for statistical purposes in anonymous, aggregated form, and to monitor the proper functioning of the website. It is retained for a limited period, is not disclosed to third parties, and is shared only to the extent strictly necessary for the technical management of the service.
Data voluntarily provided by users and visitors
Where users and visitors voluntarily, explicitly and freely provide their personal data in order to submit requests, access services or subscribe to mailing lists, such data will be collected and processed exclusively to fulfil the relevant request or deliver the requested service. Personal data provided by users and visitors may be communicated to third parties only where this is strictly necessary to respond to the relevant request.
Data relating to cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text strings that visited websites deposit on users' devices to enhance the browsing experience and, where applicable, to monitor usage patterns. Some cookies may be retransmitted to the same website on a subsequent visit by the same user, enabling recognition and improving site functionality — for example, cookies that speed up navigation or display content of greatest interest in light of previous choices. In the course of browsing a website, users may also receive on their device cookies sent by different websites or web servers (so-called “third-party” cookies).
Sirenuse.it uses two distinct types of cookies: session cookies, which are used to enable safe and efficient navigation of the website, to recognise the country from which the user or visitor is connecting, to keep the user or visitor logged in during the session, to allow registration and access to personal accounts, and to enable completion of requests. These cookies are not permanently stored on the device and are deleted when the session is closed.
The website may also use persistent cookies to personalise the browsing experience in accordance with the device in use (computer, tablet or smartphone), to analyse access patterns, and to allow content to be shared via social networks or email. These cookies are stored permanently on users' devices and have a variable duration.
Upon first accessing the website, users and visitors may express their consent to the installation of non-technical cookies, which are used exclusively upon receipt of such consent, and/or may view the Cookie Policy, which sets out full details of how consent may be granted or withheld and how preferences may be amended at any time. In particular, non-technical cookies — including profiling cookies and non-anonymised traffic analysis cookies — are installed and activated exclusively following the expression of the user's consent through the dedicated preference management mechanism; in the absence of such consent, these tools remain disabled.
The full and up-to-date Cookie Policy, including the list of all cookies in use, their purposes, duration, and the identity of third-party providers, is managed through the Cookiebot consent management platform, accessible via the cookie preference centre available on the website.
Links to Third-Party Websites
The Controller reserves the right to use and/or present on its website services provided by third parties. With regard to the processing of personal data, such third-party websites may apply different and independent criteria. The Controller therefore disclaims any responsibility for the activities and content of any linked third-party websites.
The website links to the e-commerce section Emporio Sirenuse (emporiosirenuse.com), which is operated by a separate legal entity. The privacy policy of Emporio Sirenuse, available on the relevant website, applies to all processing activities relating to browsing and purchases carried out on that platform. Solely with respect to commercial communication and marketing activities, Le Sirenuse S.p.A. and Emporio Sirenuse act as joint controllers pursuant to Article 26 GDPR, having entered into a joint controllership agreement that governs, in particular, the allocation of responsibilities regarding the management of the legal basis for processing, the exercise of data subjects' rights, and the conduct of marketing activities, it being understood that data subjects may address any request to either joint controller. The legal basis for such processing is the data subject's explicit consent. Data subjects may exercise their rights against either joint controller; the primary point of contact is Le Sirenuse S.p.A., reachable at [email protected].
Multimedia content on the website may be delivered through third-party platforms (Vimeo, YouTube), and typographic fonts may be loaded via Google Fonts (Google LLC, USA); these services may result in the transmission of the user's IP address to the respective servers. Transfers to the United States are governed by Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission pursuant to Article 46 GDPR.
Optional Nature of Data Provision
With the exception of browsing data as specified above, users and visitors are free to choose whether or not to provide their personal data. Failure to do so will result solely in the inability to obtain the requested service.
Processing Methods and Retention
All processing is carried out by automated means (e.g. using electronic procedures and equipment) and/or manually (e.g. on paper) for the period strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which the data were collected, and in any event in accordance with applicable legislative provisions. In particular: browsing data are retained for a period not exceeding 7 days, save where retention is required in connection with the investigation of criminal offences; data voluntarily provided through contact forms, information requests or job applications are retained for the period necessary to handle the relevant request and, in any event, for no longer than 24 months from the date of collection; data relating to reservations and contractual relationships are retained for 10 years in accordance with civil and fiscal obligations. Upon the expiry of the applicable retention period, data are deleted or rendered permanently anonymous.
For processing carried out by Positioner SA and Klaviyo, Inc. acting as Data Processors for email marketing activities, retention periods are governed by the respective contractual arrangements and the privacy policies of the individual providers, to which reference is made. Specific security measures are implemented to prevent the loss, unlawful or improper use of data, as well as any unauthorised access.
