12. Automated decision making and profiling

If you have consented to the processing of your personal data for profiling purposes via cookies, your data may be submitted to an automated decision-making process, which uses a specific algorithm to establish  which communications are most suitable for your profile or which might be most of interest to you .

The consequences of processing carried out in this way include, for example, the receipt of highly profiled commercial communications. In any case, you have the right to disable the profiling cookies used on this site (as explained clearly in section 2) and the right to obtain human intervention by the Data Controller in the decision-making process, as well as the right to express your opinion, to obtain an explanation of the decision made, and to challenge the said decision.

In this event, consent to the processing of your personal data is not a contractual requirement. You, the data subject, may decide whether or not to provide your personal data;  in the event of failure to provide such data, however, it will not be possible to carry out any marketing activity.  The Data Controller hereby informs you that, as regards the right to object to the processing of personal data for marketing purposes, you may also exercise this right in part,  by objecting – for example – solely to the receipt of promotional communications sent using automated and/or digital tools or, alternatively, conventional methods.
