1.2. Browsing data. Computer systems and software procedures used to operate the Platform collect some Personal Data, the transmission of which is an integral part of internet communication protocols. This information is not collected to be associated with you but, by its very nature, it may allow you to be identified by processing and associating it with data held by third parties. Among collected Personal Data there are: (i) IP addresses or domain names of the devices used by you to connect to the Platform; (ii) the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) of requested resources; (iii) the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server; (iv) the size of the file received as a reply; (v) the numeric code indicating the status of the reply given by the server (successful, error, etc.); (vi) other parameters regarding your operating system and device environment.

3. WHAT IS DATA RETENTION PERIOD AND WHAT SECURITY MEASURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN FOR YOUR PERSONAL DATA SAFEGUARD

3.1. Data retention. Personal Data collected by us will be processed for the time strictly necessary to achieve the purposes referred to in above. In particular:

3.1.a.Personal Data collected through the Platform in relation to an event (e.g., a fair, a company event, etc.), will be deleted or anonymized for statistical purposes after 45 (forty five) days from such event or, if earlier, after your cancellation request or your account deletion;

3.1.b.Personal Data needed for the provision of our newsletter service will be processed until you decide to unsubscribe.

3.2. Security measures. We use appropriate measures to protect the security of your Personal Data. These measures vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect, process and store and the current state of technology. Please note that no service is completely secure. So, while we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss or a data breach will never occur. Notwithstanding the preceding, we operate with the aim of mitigating the risks associated with processing your Personal Data through several measures, including:

3.2.a.Data Minimisation. We only ever obtain, retain, process and share Personal Data that is essential to carry out our services and legal obligations: only that which is relevant and necessary is collected. In particular, by way of example, our electronic collections (i.e., via the Platform, etc.), have only fields that are relevant to the purpose of collection and subsequent processing, while the physical collection (i.e., face-to-face contacts, phone calls, etc.) is supported using scripts and internal forms using predefined fields.

3.2.b.Pseudonymisation. Whenever possible, we utilise pseudonymisation to record and store Personal Data in a way that ensures that such data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of separate additional information (i.e., personal identifiers) which are protected with technical and operational measures of risk reduction and data protection.

3.2.c.Access restriction. We use company-wide restriction methods for restricting access into the foundation of our processes, systems and structure, in order to ensure that only those with authorisation and/or a relevant purpose, have access to Personal Data. Special category data is restricted at all levels and can only be accessed by the authorized Boabee personnel.

3.2.d.No hard copy data. We never store any Personal Data in hard copy format.

4. WHO ARE THE RECIPIENTS OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

4.1. Third-party service providers or consultants. We may share your Personal Data with third-party service providers or consultants who need access to such data to perform their work on our behalf (e.g., sharing data with our storage provider for the purposes of storing your data on our behalf, etc.). These third-party service providers are limited to only accessing or using this data to provide services to us, such as: (i) IT systems and services; (ii) communication services; (iii) Customer Relations Management; (iv) support tools; (v) accounting and financing services.

4.2. Aggregated or de-identified data. We might share data with third parties if that data has been de-identified or aggregated in a way that does not directly identify you.

4.3. Third parties required by laws or authorities. We may disclose your data to a third party if (i) we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request (including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements), (ii) to enforce our agreements and policies, (iii) to protect the security or integrity of our services and products, (iv) to protect ourselves, our other customers, or the public from harm or illegal activities, or (v) to respond to an emergency which we believe in good faith requires us to disclose data to assist in preventing a death or serious bodily injury. If we are required by law to disclose any of your Personal Data, then we will use reasonable efforts to provide you with notice of that disclosure requirement, unless we are prohibited from doing so by statute, subpoena or court or administrative order. Further, we object to requests that we do not believe were issued properly.
