SECTION 1 - DATA PROCESSING PURPOSES

When you sign up on Glusearch, or perform any operation involving an explicit request for your information, we collect the personal information you provide, such as your first name, last name and email address.
When you browse our sections, we also automatically receive your Internet Protocol (IP) address, to learn useful information about your browser and operating system.

All data collected, with your permission, may be processed for:

SECTION 2 - CONSENT

How do we get your consent?

When you provide us with your personal information (or that of your business) to complete a registration, a transaction, manage your data, or a payment, submit a comment or review, we ask for your explicit consent to our collection of your data, always detailing its use, for each specific reason.

If we request your personal data (or those of your business) for secondary reasons, such as marketing activities, we will ask for your express consent and give you the opportunity to refuse your consent.

How to withdraw your consent?

If, after having expressly given your consent to our company to manage your data, you change your mind, you can withdraw it at any time by contacting us by email:
staff@viveresenzaglutine.com


SECTION 3 - INFORMATION AND RIGHTS

We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or if you breach our Terms and conditions

In addition to the Data Controller, in some cases, other parties involved in the organisation of Glusearch (administrative, sales, marketing, legal, system administrators) or external parties (such as third party technical service providers, postal carriers, hosting providers, IT companies, communication agencies, etc.) may also have access to your data, if necessary appointed by the Data Controller. The updated list of data processors may always be requested from the Data Controller.

In relation to the processing of personal data, you have at any time the right to:
SECTION 4 - PURCHASING ONLINE SERVICES

The services offered on Glusearch are managed independently by our e-commerce. With regard to payments, if you choose to proceed through a direct gateway to complete your purchases, we would like to point out that the platform we use may store your data, possibly including your credit card details. All payments are handled through secure servers and are therefore encrypted using the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). In addition, all provisions relating to credit card payment procedures with double security (SCA), guaranteed by our service provider, are complied with.

PCI-DSS and SCA requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our application in junction with brands such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

For more information, please refer to the Privacy Center and the information closely related to Stripe above in this same section.


SECTION 5 - THIRD PARTY SERVICES

Generally, the services provided by third parties used by us may collect, use and disclose your information, but only to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, some third party service providers, such as payment gateways, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we are required to provide to them for transactions relating to purchases. For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so that you can understand how your personal information will be handled by them.

In particular, remember that some suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a jurisdiction other than our own. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third party service provider, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider, or its facilities, are located.

For example, if you reside in Germany and the transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, your personal information used to complete the transaction may be subject to disclosure under USA law, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third party website or application, you will no longer be subject to this Privacy Policy or our Terms.


SECTION 6 - TREATMENT MODE AND SAFETY

All data will be processed by Glusearch and Vivere Senza Glutine exclusively by means of IT tools and may be stored both on IT media and on paper, in compliance with the Technical Regulations on minimum security measures.

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to ensure that it is not improperly lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, it is recorded using dual-security authentication in accordance with regulations called Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) and encrypted using Transport Layer Security technology (TLS). Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and periodically implement our security standards.

The data is processed at the Data Controller s operational headquarters and in any other place where the parties involved in the processing are located and are stored for the time required for the purposes for which they were collected.


SECTION 7 - COOKIES

If you have an active Profile on Glusearch, once you have logged in you will be able to manage our cookies extensively, possibly accepting only those that you consider most useful. If, on the other hand, you navigate in guest mode (without having logged in at all), the data necessary to proceed with the navigation will all be recorded in a single cookie and you can freely choose whether to accept or refuse that our application will proceed with the saving of the information that will be initially mentioned on the main screen. The functioning of some sections of the site is subject to acceptance of cookies, in order to function correctly, as well as geolocation.


SECTION 8 - AGE OF CONSENT

By using our app, you declare that you have reached the age of majority in your State of residence, thereby also implicitly agreeing to extend this consent to any of your other family members who are still minors, to use this app.

We would like to point out that, in any case, in our sections and subsections, there is no content forbidden to minors, so the consultation can be carried out without any problem.


SECTION 9 - TEXT CHANGES

We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time, so please check it frequently. Changes and clarifications will come into force immediately after their publication and you will be able to see their express reference date in the header. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you directly on this page when we update it so that you know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we disclose it.


SECTION 10 - QUESTIONS AND CONTACTS

If you wish to access, correct, modify or delete any personal information about you, make a complaint or simply request further information, please contact our Privacy Officer at this email address:

Users in disagreement with what is stated in these terms and conditions, are obliged NOT to use Glusearch, NOT to provide any personal data (or any other kind of material of their own) and NOT to download material from the app, even if simply consulted online.

The operators of Glusearch and Vivere Senza Glutine reserve the right to update or modify these Terms and Conditions at any time without prior notice to each User. Use of the app or website, even following any changes or additions, constitutes full and unconditional acceptance of all the rules (and therefore to be bound by them), as amended. For this reason, please read these Terms and Conditions of Use whenever you use Glusearch on your devices, mobile or otherwise.

These Terms and Conditions do not extend to third party sites or services that may be linked to Glusearch. These Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy, collect the entire content of the Agreement between each individual user and our operators. All rights not expressly granted herein are therefore reserved.

Permitted and prohibited uses

Every user may use Glusearch for the sole purpose of consulting data, sharing and exchanging ideas with other users. Glusearch may not be used to violate applicable local, state, national or international laws, including, without limitation, applicable antitrust laws or other illegal business practices, as well as federal and state laws, regulations promulgated by state and/or intercontinental bodies, the rules of any national or other stock exchange and laws, rules and regulations governing the export and import of products and/or technical data.

Users may not upload or transmit any material that infringes the copyrights, patents, trademarks or trade secrets of any person, entity or company, nor disclose information whose publication would constitute a breach of confidentiality obligations they may have.

No viruses, worms, trojans or other forms of harmful computer code may be uploaded, nor may the network or servers of the site be subjected to unreasonable traffic loads, or in any case behave in a way deemed harmful to the normal functioning of the application, as well as carry out reverse engeneering on Glusearch s proprietary code.

Each user is expressly prohibited from fraudulently compiling and using any other user s personal information, including addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, email addresses or other contact information that may appear in plain text (where expressly permitted by the respective owners), for the purpose of creating or compiling marketing or mailing lists and sending unsolicited marketing materials to other users, whether by fax, email or other technological means.

In addition, it is expressly prohibited to distribute your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Operators shall regard the compilation of marketing lists and mailing lists using users personal information, the delivery of unsolicited marketing material to users, or the distribution of users personal information to third parties for marketing purposes as a material breach of these Terms and Conditions and reserve the right to interrupt or suspend Glusearch s login and consultation, as well as to suspend or revoke any membership without refund of any paid membership fees.

The operators point out that any unauthorized use of users personal information in connection with unsolicited marketing correspondence may also constitute a violation of various state and federal anti-spam statutes and reserve the right to report any abuse to public security forces and competent government authorities. Glusearch operators will cooperate fully with any authority investigating violations of these laws and regulations.

Material sent

Any material, information or other communication transmitted or sent to Glusearch will be considered non-confidential. All contributions sent will be licensed by each user under MIT license to anyone who wishes to use them, including operators.

Operators may (although not obliged to do so) monitor or review any area of Glusearch in which users transmit or publish communications or simply communicate with each other, including, but not limited to, forums, email lists, public comments, reviews, chats, etc. The operators, however, shall have no liability in relation to the content of such communications, regardless of whether or not they derive from copyright, defamation, privacy or other laws.

Glusearch is hosted on servers located in the European Union. Accessing the content of our application may not be legal for some people or in some countries. Accessing from countries outside the European Union is at your own risk, subject to the laws of your jurisdiction. Failure by operators to take action against a breach of this Agreement by you or others does not constitute a waiver and will not limit operators rights against such breach or any subsequent breach. Any cause of action that you may have in connection with Glusearch must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim, or cause of action. These Terms define this agreement between the parties and supersede any oral or written agreement or understanding between the parties regarding the following:

Connection to third parties

Glusearch may contain links to sites owned or operated by independent third parties. These links are provided for your convenience only. We do not control such sites and are therefore not responsible for any content posted on them. The fact that operators offer such links should in no way be interpreted as an endorsement, authorisation or sponsorship of such sites, their content, or the companies (or products) referred to. Operators reserve the right to note any lack of affiliation, sponsorship or approval on Glusearch. If you decide to access any of the third party sites linked to Glusearch, this is at your own risk. Since some sites use automated search results or may otherwise link users to third-party sites containing information that may be deemed inappropriate or offensive, operators cannot be held responsible for the copyright compliance, legality, or decency of material contained on third-party sites. In this sense, each user irrevocably waives any claim against us in relation to such sites.
