• These communications of user data allow the regular and adequate execution of the service provided by Seafarer.

 

Application of the law, judicial proceedings and methods authorized by law

 

Seafarer may communicate users' personal data to courts, public authorities, governmental authorities or authorized third parties, in the event and to the extent that it is required or authorized to do so by law, or if such communication is reasonably necessary. These communications will have the following purposes:

1. to fulfill Seafarer's legal duties;
2. to respond to claims made against Seafarer;
3. to comply with verified requests relating to a criminal investigation or an alleged illegal activity or any other activity likely to expose Seafarer or users to legal liability;
4. to protect the rights, property or personal safety of Seafarer, its employees, users or the general public.

 

Legal bases of the treatment

Seafarer processes the personal data only if one of the conditions established by current legislation occurs (so-called "legal bases" or "conditions of lawfulness"), and specifically as follows:

 

a) For the need to execute a contract of which the user is a part.

 

This legal basis legitimizes the processing of personal data that takes place in the following activities:

• conclusion and execution of a contract for the purchase of the products offered on Seafarer's Website;
• logging in the Website and using the services reserved for registered users;
• provision of the services offered on the Website.

 

The provision of the user's personal data for these activities is optional and, depending on the case, is required for the conclusion or execution of a contract. The user can choose whether to provide or not provide his/her data, but, if the user doesn’t provide the requested data, it will not be possible to conclude or execute the contract and the user's requests. This means that the user will not be able to purchase the products and use the services of Seafarer, log in to the Website, use the Website services and consequently Seafarer will not be able to manage the user’s requests.

 

b) Due to the need to fulfill a legal obligation imposed on us by law.

 

This condition of legitimacy authorizes Seafarer to process the data to fulfill the legal obligations to which it is subject. In particular, in the event of the conclusion of a contract for the purchase of goods from the Website, the processing of user data will take place to fulfill the legal obligations to which Seafarer is required in accordance with the tax provisions and other regulations to which Seafarer is subject.

The user can decide whether to provide us with the data and conclude a contract with Seafarer, and, if he/she does so, the data will necessarily be processed to implement the relevant legal obligations Seafarer is required to comply with.

 

c) On the basis of the user's consent.

 

We carry out the following treatments only if the user has given his/her express consent:

• sending our newsletters by e-mail;
• conducting opinion polls and market research;
• customizing the contents of the Website and sending customized marketing communications.

 

The user can decide whether to provide his/her personal data for these activities. Failing this, the user will not receive Seafarer newsletters regarding news and commercial promotions, personalized marketing communications, and Seafarer will not carry out opinion polls and market research.

 

d) For a legitimate interest of Seafarer or of a third party.

 

The data are processed on the basis of this condition of lawfulness in the following cases:

• analysis and statistical surveys to improve the commercial offer and services of the Website. In this case, processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in acquiring useful information to improve the quality and effectiveness of the commercial proposals and services offered by the Website. The provision of data for this type of processing is optional.
• prevention and repression of fraud, counterfeiting and abusive behavior. In this case, processing is carried out on the basis of the legitimate interest of Seafarer, the prevention and repression of fraudulent activities that may compromise the profitability of the Website and the safety of its users. The provision of data for this type of processing is optional, but it is the necessary to send an order and conclude a purchase contract and, failing that, this will not be possible.
• personalization of the contents of the Website for marketing purposes. In this case, processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in increasing the profitability of the Website by personalizing the users' browsing experience. The provision of data for this type of processing is optional. Failure to provide it, with opposition to the activity in question, will only make it impossible to view the personalized contents of the Website.
• to ensure the correct technical functioning and security of the Website. In this case, the processing is carried out on the basis of Seafarer's legitimate interest and to prevent and resolve situations that could compromise the functioning of the Website and its services and the user’s safety. The provision of data for this type of processing is optional, but it is required for browsing and using the Website and, failing that, this will not be possible.

• The protection of rights. In this case, processing is carried out on the basis of the legitimate interest of Seafarer or of a third party to protect their rights. The provision of data for this type of processing is optional, but it is required for browsing and using the Website and, failing that, this will not be possible.

 

Rights of the interested parties

The user can then transmit these data to third parties, without Seafarer being able to prevent this in any way;
• be notified, within a reasonable time, of any corrections, cancellations or limitations on processing ordered by Seafarer, as well as any revocation of such measures and the reasons underlying the revocation (for example, for limitations on processing, the expiry of the period of limitation, or the disappearance of the circumstances that caused the limitation of the processing: for example, for verifying the accuracy of the user's personal data).

 

The user can exercise these rights by sending a written request to Seafarer and emailing it to info@academy-srl.com
