Only in the latter case will the retention period be 10 years.
Where personal data are processed for ancillary purposes (e.g. sending commercial communications, newsletters, invitations to events and initiatives promoted by the Controller), such data will in any case be retained for no longer than 24 (twenty-four) months.
SCOPE OF COMMUNICATION AND DISCLOSURE OF DATA
Personal data may be communicated to employees and/or collaborators of the Controller, acting as authorized persons and/or data processors, or to third parties (by way of example, suppliers, external consultants, partners, sponsors), all of whom are duly trained and instructed by the Controller.
