Contact information (e.g., personal details, email address, and any other data voluntarily provided by the data subject, including information contained in the message body) voluntarily supplied by the user through contact pages, telephone, fax, or postal mail.
Providing such data is optional; however, failure to provide it will make it impossible for the Controller to process the user’s request.
The Controller applies the principle of data minimization, retaining the information only for the time necessary to manage the request or longer if required for legal protection.

Personal data are mainly processed electronically and digitally by the joint controllers and by other entities who, having been appropriately selected for their reliability and competence, perform operations instrumental to the purposes strictly connected to the use of the website, its services, and product purchases through the website (see paragraph “Entities and categories of entities to whom the data may be communicated”).
Personal data will not be transferred outside the European Union to countries that do not ensure an adequate level of protection for individuals.
DS MEDIGROUP S.r.l. reserves the right to delete accounts and all related data if any illegal content, material harmful to the company’s image or that of third parties, or any offensive or defamatory content promoting illegal activities is detected.

The mandatory or optional nature of providing data is indicated each time – with reference to individual requested information – by placing an asterisk (*) next to mandatory fields.

Data processing is based on legitimate interest for contact forms and on consent for website registration. The data subject has the right to revoke consent at any time (Art. 7.3 GDPR).

Refusal to provide data or total/partial objection to processing may make it impossible for us to provide the requested services (see purpose “a”).
Refusal to allow processing for all other purposes will not affect access to healthcare-related services.
