2. Types of Personal Data Processed

Registration is not required in order to access the Website. However, there are sections of the Website that require registration or the use of a username and password (e.g., to sign up for the Geox Single Digital Profile, or to complete the online purchasing process), or services for which you need to provide your details (e.g. your personal data may be requested to access newsletter services, to contact us, etc.).
Data relating to the connection and navigation within the Website (such as the URI-Uniform Resource Identifiers of the resources requested, time of the request, method used in submitting the request to the server, size of the file obtained in response, the numeric code indicating the status of the response provided by the server (successful, error, etc.) and other parameters regarding the user’s operating system and IT environment) are collected only for the purpose of extracting anonymous statistical information on the use of the Website and to check its correct operation. Such data is immediately deleted following the processing. The data may be used to ascertain liability in the event of possible computer crimes that harm the Website: excluding such cases, the data shall be deleted once the time needed to provide the services illustrated on the Website has passed.
With reference to data relating to navigation within the Website, see also point 7 below concerning the Profiling Tools used by the Website.

 

3. Optional provision of personal data

The provision of personal data is generally optional. In certain cases only, the failure to provide personal data may make it impossible to access specific services and obtain what you have requested (e.g. registration - and the provision of personal data, e-mail address, postal address, credit/debit card data or and telephone number - is required to purchase products online); failure to provide such data may therefore prevent Geox from allowing you to access the Website's services or to respond to users' requests.
The data necessary in each case are indicated in the data collection forms t on the Website - e.g., indicated with a (*) - and the consequences of their not being provided are set out in the specific notices on the data collection pages.

 

4. Purposes

Data are collected and processed for purposes strictly related to the use of the Website, its services and the purchase of products online. The purposes for which the data are used are detailed in the specific policy statements provided by the Website whenever there is data collection. We would ask that you read the policy statements which in each case explain the characteristics of the data processing that will be performed (e.g. for registration for the newsletter service, to access your profile, for Geox products sold online). Your data shall be processed in full compliance with privacy legislation.

 

5. Method, length of data processing and scope of communication

Data may be processed in both electronic and paper form (e.g. for the handling of purchases on the Website).

We implement security measures to ensure the security of the Website and all information collected is transmitted through a secure connection to prevent interception by outsiders.
Any data provided by users shall be processed for the length of time specified in the specific policy statements provided at the time of data collection.
With regard to the retention times for data collected through the use of profiling tools (e.g. cookies), please see point 7 below and our Cookie Policy.
The data shall not be communicated or disseminated to third parties except within the limits and conditions expressly indicated in the policy statements provided in each case (i.e. product shipping data may be communicated to couriers).

  • - Right to rectification: the data subject may request the rectification or updating of inaccurate data or, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the supplementation of incomplete personal data (Article 16 of the Regulation).

  • - Right to not be subject to automated decision-making, including profiling: (where applicable) the data subject shall have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or significantly affects him or her, unless the automated decision is necessary (i) for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, (ii) is envisaged by law, in compliance with measures and safeguards, or (iii) is based on the data controller explicit consent (Article 22 of the Regulation).

COOKIE POLICY

EU Regulation 679/2016 General Data Protection Regulation

The website www.geox.com (the "Website") uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

  • 1. enable the proper functioning of the Website and the provision of the related services;

  • 2. perform aggregate statistical analysis to understand and improve the user’s browsing experience (e.g. counting the number of visitors to the Website, understanding how popular a product or service is)

  • 3. analyse the preferences and navigation of users visiting the Website in order to send advertisements in line with the preferences expressed during web browsing and to personalise content.

The information below relates both to the use of “cookies” and to other tracking tools that may be used (except where otherwise indicated). For practicality, we will use the term “cookie” to refer to all the different tracking technologies, save where expressly indicated otherwise.

Information about who we are, how we process personal data, how you can contact us and what your privacy rights are can be found in the Privacy Policy accessible from the privacy section of the Website: https://www.geox.com/en-MC/privacy

Pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation EU 2016/679 General Data Protection Regulation (the “Regulation”) and Directive 58/2002, as amended, Geox S.p.A., as the Data Controller (“Geox” or the “Company”), provides the following information.

 

1. What is a cookie

Cookies are text files that are sent from a web server (i.e. the computer where the website visited is ‘hosted’) to the user’s browser (Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, etc.) and stored on the device, whether fixed or mobile, used for browsing. The cookie allows the Website to identify the user’s device, through the information stored in it, each time the user reconnects to the Website through that device.
Through the use of cookies (or other tracking tools) we can make it easier for you to navigate the Website, as well as analyse your preferences and tastes by verifying your navigation (profiling activities), and consequently offer you a promotion of products and services that are more consistent with your interests and expectations (e.g. by displaying advertisements in line with your interests).
Cookies can be either “session” cookies (when they are only stored for the duration of the website browsing session and are deleted when the browser is closed), or “persistent” cookies (when they are stored for a longer period of time, until they expire or are deleted by the user). Moreover, cookies or other tracking tools may be either “first party” (when they are created and used only by the owner of the website that issued them and are not transferred to third parties) or “third party” (when they are issued and managed by parties other than Geox).
An example of other tracking tools is ‘tracking pixels’, small pieces of code integrated into the website which, once downloaded onto the user’s browser, allow the social media provider (e.g. Facebook) to monitor the user’s session, collecting data for analysis and user profiling purposes.
Cookies and tracking tools do not collect information that directly identifies the user.

 

2. What types of cookies (or tracking tools) the Website uses

Cookies and technical or necessary tools

These are the cookies used to ensure navigation and therefore the telematic transmission of data on the network are strictly necessary for the provision of the services provided by the Website.
By using these cookies we can facilitate the user browsing withing the Website, for example by storing the data provided by the user while filling in the forms on the Website (user input cookies), to recognise the user after they logged-in the Website (cookies for authentication), to customise the interface of the site on the basis of user preferences, to collect aggregate information about the number of visitors to the site and the most visited pages (analytics cookies used with mechanisms of partial obscuration of the IP), etc..
These cookies may be both first-party and third-party cookies and do not require the user’s prior express consent as they are strictly necessary to provide the service requested by the user of the Website.

Statistical cookies

Analytical cookies allow us to understand how the site is used by users. These cookies do not collect information that directly leads to your identity or to your personal data. The information collected is normally processed in aggregate and anonymous form through the use of partial IP obscuration mechanisms. Those cookies are treated as equivalent to technical cookies and do not require prior consent from the user, as their use is based on the legitimate interest of analysing Website traffic which, based on the data minimisation measures adopted, is legitimate and balanced with users’ rights and freedoms. If such opt-out mechanisms are not in place, the use of these cookies will require the express and informed consent of the user.

Personalisation cookies

Personalisation cookies record users’ preferences in using the Website (e.g., the language selected and specific country). These instruments are not strictly necessary for browsing the Website and, therefore, shall be used on obtaining the user’s consent. Those cookies may be first party or third party;

Profiling (or marketing) cookies

These are cookies that are used to create profiles of the user, for example, in order to send advertisements that are consistent with the user’s preferences (e.g. by using these cookies, the user will be able to see advertisements for the products in which they have expressed an interest on other sites). They can be either first-party cookies or third-party cookies; session or persistent cookies.
Other tracking tools (e.g. Facebook pixels) also work in a similar way (e.g. by allowing advertisements to be displayed to the user on the social network).
The use of these cookies and tools requires the express and informed consent of the user.
Your consent will only be required when you first access the Website: afterwards, we will use a technical cookie to store your consent so that you can access the Website pages directly when you return. Your consent may be withdrawn at any time in the manner specified in paragraph 3 of the Cookie Policy.
No other user profiling tools are used on this Website without your consent (e.g. spyware).

Third-party cookies

The Website uses both “first-party” cookies and tracing instruments, i.e. issued by Geox and by the Website, and “third-party” cookies and tracing instruments (e.g. Google Analytics, Social Network cookies, etc.), i.e. instruments issued and managed by subjects other than Geox.
On the Website you can also find social buttons/widgets (social plug-ins), i.e. those particular ‘buttons’ depicting the icons of social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.. These buttons allow users who are browsing the Website to reach and interact with social networks with a ‘click’. For more information, see paragraph 8.

 

3. Your consent

When accessing the Website, the user is shown a warning banner regarding cookies and other tracking tools that may be used.
The banner provides summary information that allows the user to understand which cookies/tools are used and for what purposes; in addition, by using the “settings” button the user can also check in detail which types of cookies and tools are used.
The user is therefore free to choose whether and which cookies and other tracking tools to authorise.

We will record whether the user granted or denied consent to directly access the pages of the Website without having to view the banner once again, save for particular cases (e.g., if the user deletes cookies or if the users must be updated regarding the cookies used).

NB: consent may be revoked at any time by simply by (i) clicking the “Manage Cookies” link at the bottom of each page of the Website (this newly displays the banner, allowing you to update your consent), or (ii) accessing this Cookie Policy in the section of the Website dedicated to privacy and accessible by selecting the “Privacy” link at the bottom of each page of the Website (paragraph 8 provides information on consent granted/denied, with the option to change your previous choices.

Your consent applies to the following websites: www.geox.com

 

4. Deactivating/deleting cookies via web browser

You can in any case deactivate/activate or delete cookies at any time by using the settings of your web browser. In particular, if you do not wish to receive cookies, you can set your browser to warn you when a cookie is being sent, so that you can decide whether to accept it or not; you can also automatically refuse all cookies by activating the appropriate option in your browser. You can also delete specific cookies that have already been stored within your browser, or block specific websites from storing cookies on your computer, or block third-party cookies.

Each browser (Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari, Opera, etc.) has its own method of managing cookies: in the settings or preferences panel, it is possible to modify/manage the parameters relating to cookies and/or delete them. In order to do this, it is necessary to consult the information in the browser’s user manual (Help Page) or click on the following links:
- Internet explorer
- Edge
- Chrome
- Firefox
- Safari
- Opera.
You can also manage your cookie preferences at http://www.youronlinechoices.com

 

5. Who will have access to your data

The data collected via cookies and other tracking tools will not be disclosed to the public and will be processed by specifically authorised persons within Geox (in particular the CRM, e-commerce, marketing and information technology departments).
In order to manage the Website and, if you give your consent, to analyse your preferences, your navigation and to allow you to view content and promotional announcements that may be of interest to you. The data will be processed by (i) companies in charge of managing the Website, and (ii) providers of computer services. These subjects will act as Data Processors designated by Geox.

 

5.1 Social networks

Browsing data may, in some cases, be transmitted to social networks (e.g. Facebook, Instagram – see the table below for the list of social networks that interface with the Website). In general, the interaction between a website and a social network is used, for example, to:
(i) allow users to log-in through the social network (e.g. when you choose to log-in to our reserved area of the Website using Facebook, data is exchanged between the social network and the Website, to enable user recognition and authentication);
(ii) allow content to be shared on social networks (e.g. if you use the sharing function – the social plug-in – you can post, and thus share, the content that interests you on your social profile);
(iii) display promotional and advertising content when you visit social networks (e.g. the social network may show you advertisements relating to the Geox brand and the products you have viewed on the Website). This may mainly occur in two ways:

a. the data regarding your browsing on the Website, collected through cookies or other tracking instruments shall be shared with the social network which, having identified you, will display advertising content, then provide Geox with statistics on the advertising campaigns carried out;
b. if you have provided your email address, this may be exchange (in an encrypted and protected manner) with the social network which, having identified you through your email address, will display advertising content, then provide Geox with statistics on the advertising campaigns carried out.

For such processing, the social networks will process your data – as joint data controllers (Article 26 of the GDPR) - to the extent necessary to, for example, display news/advertisements relating to Geox.
Some information on the processing carried out by social networks within the Website is provided below:

Facebook (es. Facebook, Instagram) The Co-Data Controller is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, .Dublin 2 Ireland. A joint controller arrangement (Article 26 of the Regulation) governs the processing of personal data using the tracking instruments provided by Facebook and present on the Website: the arrangement determines the respective responsibilities for compliance with the obligations under the Regulation regarding joint processing. A copy of this agreement is available at the following link: https://it-it.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum.
Instead, Facebook is the autonomous data controller for the processing of user data carried out subsequently. As data controller, Facebook is responsible for providing the data subjects with the information regarding the processing carried out or allowing them to exercise their privacy rights (Articles 15 – 20 of the Regulation).
The Website uses cookies and tracking instruments from Facebook (e.g. pixels) to (i) display promotional and advertising content personalised to users, (ii) provide statistical reports on advertising campaigns and user browsing of the Website, and (iii) improve the posting of content on the Website.
For these purposes, the data regarding your browsing on the Website, collected through cookies or other tracking instruments shall be shared with Facebook.
Details on how Facebook processes the data, the related legal basis of processing and how you can exercise the privacy rights granted by the Regulation against Facebook are available at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.
The Facebook Data Protection Officer can be contacted at: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/540977946302970.
Pinterest The Data Controller is Pinterest Europe Limited, with headquarters on the 2nd Floor, Palmerston House, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland.
The Website uses cookies and tracking instruments from Pinterest (e.g. pixels) to (i) display promotional and advertising content personalised to users, (ii) provide statistical reports on advertising campaigns and user browsing of the Website, (iii) improve the posting of content on the Website.
For these purposes, the data regarding your browsing on the Website, collected through cookies or other tracking instruments shall be shared with Pinterest.
The details of the arrangement with Pinterest regarding personal data processing can be viewed in Exhibit A at the following link: https://business.pinterest.com/en-gb/pinterest-advertising-services-agreement/.
More information on the processing carried out by Pinterest is available at: https://policy.pinterest.com/en/privacy-policy#section-residents-of-the-eea.
The Pinterest Data Protection Officer can be contacted at the following link: https://help.pinterest.com/it/data-protection-officer-contact-form.

For more information on the processing carried out by social networks, please check the privacy policies provided by the social networks (also by clicking the “Manage Cookies” link on all pages of the Website, you can see the list of cookies/tracking instruments used on the Website and the links to their respective policies).

 

6. What are your rights

By writing to privacy@geox.com, you may at any time exercise your rights under Articles 15 to 22 of the Regulation, including:

  • - obtain confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you are being processed;

  • - obtain access to your personal data (e.g. by requesting what data is processed, for what purposes and in what manner);

  • - obtain the rectification of inaccurate personal data or the integration of incomplete personal data;

  • - obtain the erasure of your personal data (where applicable);

You can also object to the processing of your data at any time, in particular for analysis and profiling or marketing purposes, and revoke your consent (see section 3) and paragraph 8 below).

 

7. Transfer of data outside the European Union

The Data collected through the Website are generally not transferred abroad, as the processing is carried out through providers that use servers located in the European Union (or European Economic Area).
Data collected using cookies and other tracking instruments – specifically of Social Networks – can be transferred outside the European Union (e.g.: the data collected using the Facebook tracking instruments are subject to transfer). Based on the privacy regulations applicable, specific consent to the transfer is not necessary when the transfer is made to a country that guarantees an adequate level of protection (Article 45 of the Regulation) or based on the adoption of appropriate safeguards (Articles 46 and 47 of the Regulation), and, specifically, based on the adoption of binding rules for the group of companies or the adoption of contractual clauses approved by the European Commission: transfer of data collected through cookies/tracking instruments is governed by those contractual clauses (es. https://www.facebook.com/help/566994660333381?ref=dp).
To receive more information on the transfer of data and the safeguards set out for their protection, as well as on the means for obtaining that data or the place where they have been made available, send a simple request to privacy@geox.com.
