pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 2016/679

Pursuant to and having the effects arising from Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 regarding the processing of personal data of natural persons and the free circulations of such data, which repeals Directive 95/46/EC, and is also called the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter " GDPR"), we hereby inform you that the personal data voluntarily submitted by you to Fiere Internazionali di Bologna - BolognaFiere S.p.A. (hereinafter also called the "Company" or "BolognaFiere") will be processed in compliance with current legal provisions governing the protection of personal data.

1. Data Controller and Data Protection Officer

The Personal Data Controller is Fiere Internazionali di Bologna - BolognaFiere S.p.A., in the person of its pro tempore President, with headquarters in Bologna, Italy, Viale della Fiera No. 20.

The Data Protection Officer may be contacted at the following email address: dpo@bolognafiere.it for any need related to the processing of personal data.

2. Purpose of the processing and legal basis of the processing of personal data

Your personal data will be processed for the following purposes:

a) the establishment and performance of the contractual relationship between you and BolognaFiere (e.g. ticket sales, exhibition area rental, organization of events – even online events - in which you are interested in participating, provision of services ancillary to your participation, planning of services requested by you, publication of exhibitors' data in the event catalogue, participation to contests/awards considered as artistic and literary competitions not disciplined by D.P.R. 26th October 2001, no. 430, etc.). With reference to this purpose, the legal basis for the processing is the performance of contractual or pre-contractual obligations in relation to a contract to which you are a party. Any refusal on your part to provide the data would make it impossible for BolognaFiere to provide the requested service. Please note that any processing of particular categories of personal data will only be carried out if such data is communicated or made public directly by you. Such processing will be legitimate on the basis of art. 9, par. 2, letter e) of the GDPR. The provision of such data is never mandatory;

b) compliance with all regulatory, fiscal and administrative requirements imposed on BolognaFiere. With reference to this purpose, the legal basis of the processing is the fulfilment of legal obligations imposed on BolognaFiere. Any refusal on its part to provide the data would make it impossible for BolognaFiere to provide the requested service;

c) in order to conduct statistical surveys and market research. With reference to this purpose, the legal basis of the processing is its specific consent, without which BolognaFiere will not be able to carry out market research on its data. In any case, you will be able to use the services offered by BolognaFiere;

d) the performance of profiling activities aimed at understanding its possible needs in relation to the provision of new services according to the preferences expressed. With reference to this purpose, the legal basis of the processing is its specific consent, without which BolognaFiere will not be able to carry out profiling activities on its data. In any case, you may use the services offered by BolognaFiere;

e) the performance of commercial and marketing activities related to BolognaFiere's activities by post, internet, telephone, e-mail, MMS, SMS, from Italy or abroad. With reference to this purpose, the legal basis for the processing is its specific consent, without which BolognaFiere will not be able to carry out the aforesaid commercial activities. In any case, you may use the services offered by BolognaFiere;

f) sending your data to companies of BolognaFiere Group, to third parties such as exhibition organisers or partners involved in the organisation of individual fairs/events, including those based outside Europe, in order to allow the latter to launch independent marketing initiatives relating to their products and services. With reference to this purpose, the legal basis for the processing is your specific consent, without which BolognaFiere will not be able to send your data to third parties. In any case, you may use the services offered by BolognaFiere;

g) to allow BolognaFiere to shoot videos and/or photos during fairs and events for publication on our websites/landing pages and social profiles (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, etc.) and on brochures, catalogues, flyers and other printed material promoting the events. The legal basis for the processing is the legitimate interest of the Data Controller, since the filming carried out by BolognaFiere for this purpose is exclusively generic. Any refusal on its part would make impossible for BolognaFiere to provide the requested service. Any photographs or specific filming will be taken by BolognaFiere only with your consent, which you may be asked to do, accompanied by appropriate information and a dedicated disclaimer.

3. Methods of data processing

The processing of personal data will be carried out using suitable paper, electronic and/or telematics tools, with logic strictly related to the purposes mentioned above and, in any case, in such a way as to ensure the security and confidentiality of the data.

It should be noted that BolognaFiere does not process your data for the purpose of making decisions based on automated processing which produce legal effects or significantly affect you pursuant to art. 22 of the GDPR.
