Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy covers the processing of personal data collected when you use our services or visit our website. In the following document, pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 196 of June 30, 2003 (“Privacy Code”) and in accordance with EU Regulation 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, we inform you how the real estate agency “Marcello & Wieser” (hereinafter briefly referred to as “MW”), as the Data Controller, handles your personal data, what types of data are collected, how and for what purpose this data is used, to whom MW discloses this data, and how MW protects your personal data.

We also inform you that the real estate agency “Marcello & Wieser” has appointed a Data Protection Officer, who can be reached at the Data Controller’s legal headquarters and via the e-mail: info@marcello-wieser.it.

Your privacy rights are a top priority, and MW is very committed to protecting your personal data and processing it with the utmost care and discretion. Any data protection obligations that may go beyond this Privacy Policy remain, of course, unaffected.

Why does MW process personal data and for how long is it stored?

MW collects and uses your personal data to provide the service requested by you. Your personal data will be processed for as long as is necessary and required for the fulfilment of the commissioned services, or for as long as MW is obliged to store such data due to mandatory legal provisions. The personal data will be deleted and destroyed a maximum of 10 years after the termination of the business relationship.

What data is collected?

For MW to be able to provide the service you have commissioned, it is mandatory that you disclose a range of information and personal data. For example, you may be asked for personal information when you start a search query for a property or want to make an offer to purchase a property. Only information relevant to the respective situation is requested from you. This includes, for example, your name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.

Furthermore, MW collects personal data regarding activities on the website. Based on this data, MW can determine which information is truly useful for its customers and which areas of its websites and internet services are of most interest to its customers.

When does MW disclose personal data?

MW takes the protection of your privacy rights very seriously. MW assures you that it will neither sell nor rent your contact information to third parties.

In the course of providing the services, MW may internally disclose your personal data to employees and staff, as well as to external third parties who work for MW or cooperate with it and are obligated to protect this data in accordance with this Privacy Policy and in the sense of EU Regulation 2016/679. These third parties can, in particular, help us to provide specific services.

Furthermore, MW may be compelled to disclose your personal data due to mandatory legal provisions or official orders.

How does MW protect your personal data?

MW takes precautions, including administrative, electronic, and physical procedures, to protect your personal data from loss, theft, and misuse, as well as from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and/or destruction.

Integrity of your personal data

MW has taken safeguards to ensure that your personal data is always accurate, complete, and up-to-date for the intended purposes. You are, of course, entitled at any time to have the personal data you have provided checked for accuracy and timeliness and to request changes if necessary. You can help us ensure that your contact information and preferences are correct, complete, and up-to-date. You can also request a copy of your personal data by contacting us using the email address provided below.

Our commitment to protecting your privacy rights

As already mentioned, MW takes the protection of your privacy rights very seriously. To ensure the security of your personal data, these guidelines are passed on to all relevant employees, staff, and third parties commissioned in cooperation, and security precautions for the protection of privacy rights are consistently implemented.

MW is entitled to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If material changes are made, a corresponding notice will be published on our website along with the updated version of the Privacy Policy and communicated via email.

This objection to the processing of the data is possible at any time unless there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Supervisory Authority, the Privacy Guarantor, with its legal headquarters at Piazza di Montecitorio 121, 00186 Rome (RM).
