Personal Data Privacy and Protection Policy
Italy Developments considers the privacy
and protection of all our clients' personal data to be of the utmost importance.
To ensure that you feel confident about providing us with your personal
information when communicating with us and using our services, our practices
in relation to the collection and use of this personal data is outlined below:
Purposes
Italy Developments will collect, record,
store and use your personal data only to enable you to purchase
real estate property in Italy. We also use this information to advise you of any changes to our services or in the purchase
of your real estate.
Privacy
We will not share your personal data with anyone outside
Italy Developments without your consent.
From time to time however, we may need to disclose
your personal data to contractors used by Italy Developments in order to enable us to communicate with you better or to customize our
Web Site to better serve you. These persons are required to keep the information
confidential and will not use the information for any purpose other than
to carry out the services they are performing for Italy Developments.
Security
Any personal data you provide to us is securely stored
in a database held by Italy Developments in Toano, Reggio Emilia - Italy.
We have put in place administrative measures to ensure
that the access that Italy Developments employees and agents
have to personal data is limited to the extent necessary in
order to perform their functions.
All our employees are required to sign a confidentiality
agreement in which they agree to treat personal data as strictly confidential.
The database holding your personal information is protected against
both unauthorized physical and electronic access. These measures include
an electronic firewall and various other protection measures that involve
virus scanning, installation of security patches, vulnerability testing,
backup and recovery planning, employee training, and other
steps designed to constantly improve the data protection posture. The database
is not directly connected to the Internet, and therefore data is available
only to authorized employees.
While we strive to provide security that is above and beyond industry standards,
because of the Internet’s inherent vulnerabilities, we cannot ensure
or warrant complete security of all information transmitted to us.
