Welcome to our website forte-forte.com. Please read our Privacy Policy carefully, which is applied in all cases when you access the website and decide to navigate its content and use its services, regardless of whether any products are purchased.
Information Statement, art. 13 Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003 – supplementary guidelines on the website www.forte-forte.com.

The data controller of data collected through this site is iBox S.r.l., with its registered offices in Italy at, Via Pier Della Francesca 39 – 59100 Prato (PO). VAT no. and tax code 02285370975 who decides independently on the use and means of processing, as well as the security procedure to be applied to guarantee confidentiality, integrity and the availability of data.

The provision of your personal data to iBox which is requested at various collection points may be necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes set out in the specific information statement, or the data provision may be optional.
The obligatory or discretionary nature of the provision is specified on a case by case basis - with reference to the particular information requested - each time data is collected, using a special character (*) indicating obligatory information. Any possible refusal to communicate to iBox any of your data indicated as obligatory renders it impossible to continue with the main purpose of the data collection; such refusal may for example involve making it impossible for iBox to fulfil the purchase agreement for products on forte-forte.com or supply other services available on forte-forte.com. The provision of additional data to iBox, other than that indicated as essential, is however optional and does not lead to any consequences with regard to the fulfilment of the main purpose of the collection (for example, depending on the case, the use of the website and its services or the purchase of products).

The principles upon which our privacy policy is based, are as follows:

1. to process data exclusively for the intended purposes and according to the methods illustrated in the information statement presented when the data is collected;

2. to use the data for additional purposes other than the purposes for which its specifically provided only with the user's express consent;

3. to make the data available to third party companies only for purposes instrumental to the supply of the required services and within the context of appointing a data supervisor; not to communicate, assign or transfer the data to third party individuals for processing belonging to the latter without informing the user in advance and obtaining their consent;

4. to respond to requests for deletion, modification and integration of the data provided, opposition to processing of data for the purpose of sending sales and advertising material;

5. to ensure the correct and legitimate management of data, safeguarding the privacy of users, as well as applying appropriate security measures to protect confidentiality, integrity and availability of data provided.

The processing of your personal data is performed chiefly using electronic and telematic methods by iBox and other parties who, appropriately selected for their trustworthiness and competence, carry out operations key to the fulfilment of the objective closely connected to the use of the website, its services and the purchase of products via the website (see also, section entitled "Persons who may process your personal data").
The specific purposes for which the data is processed are summarised, on each occasion, in the information statement pursuant to art. 13, Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003, which is presented to the user when providing personal data.
As a general rule, data is processed for the supply of the following services available by accessing our website:

1. registration on the website, to make use of the related services;

2. subscription to specific and additional services, such as our newsletter and other similar information services concerning our activities, the creation of your Wish List and sharing its contents,

3. order handling and related activities;

4. payment management, including anti fraud checks in the case of credit card payment; in this case, data provided during the purchase process (first name, last name, address, credit card number, delivery address if different to the invoice address) will be sent directly to the banking system which will use the data for verification purposes;

5. anti-fraud control; pursuant to Chapter IV, article 25, paragraph 6 “Transfer of personal data to Third Countries” of Directive 95/46/EC, data may be transferred to countries outside the EU or the European Economic Area that guarantee adequate levels of personal data protection. In any case, processing will be carried out according to the procedures set forth in this statement and the provisions of the law;

6. management of your requests: technical, sales related, on the progress of your orders and general information requests;

7. making contact with representatives of our departments (Press Relations, Business Development, Web Marketing, Procurement, Custmer Services);

In processing data that may, directly or indirectly, identify you, we will endeavour to observe the principle of strict necessity.
For this reason, we have configured the website in such a way that the use of your personal data is reduced to a minimum: therefore, no data is processed when the purposes sought in individual cases can be realised using anonymous data (such as, for example, market research intended to improve services) or using other methods that permit identification of the interested party only in cases of necessity or upon request from the authorities and police forces (such as, for example, data relating to traffic and your visits to the website and your IP address).
In some cases, as expressly indicated in the information statement, your data will be subject - with your prior express consent - to processing with the aim of creating profiles based on your preferences and your purchases. This has the objective of sending you information tailored to your requirements and interests. Except for the case provided in art. 130, paragraph 4, Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003 (in which the controller can use data to send advertising emails on its products and services, similar to those already purchased, unless this use has been refused), iBox can use your data to send advertising on its services and products only with your consent.

We adopt sufficient security measures to minimise the risk of destruction or loss - even accidental - of data, the unauthorised access or unauthorised processing or processing that does not comply with the collection purpose indicated in our Privacy Policy.
However, iBox cannot guarantee to its users that the measures employed for security on the website and the transmission of data and information on its site limit and exclude any unauthorised access or leaking of data on the part of devices attributable to the user: we advise you to ensure that your computer is equipped with suitable software to protect the transmission of network data, both incoming and outgoing (such as an updated antivirus system) and that your Internet service provider has employed sufficient measures to ensure the security of network data transmission (such as, for example, a firewall and antispam filters).
