2) What data we collect and how we collect them

2.1 Data voluntarily provided by the data subject

While using the Website and in general the services offered by the Group companies, we may ask you to provide us with certain personal data or personal information that might be used to identify you, for example by e-mail or online form, through the form to subscribe to the Memberships and our Services or through another type of request.

This information may include personal details and contact details, such as your name, surname, address, e-mail address and telephone number, and some information such as gender and profession.

Brief explanatory notes will be provided or appear on the web pages or through appropriate forms for specific optional services.

The detailed General Information on Data Processing (in short, "Privacy Policy") is always available to the data subject who is kindly requested to read it carefully.

2.2 Automatically collected data

In the course of normal operation, the websites may acquire some personal data of the user whose transmission is implicit in the use of internet and mobile phones communication protocols.

These data are collected through the use of systems capable of storing text or information files, such as Cookies or SDK (Software Development Kit).

This information may include navigation and functional indications, statistical and technical information, and, if clicked, some information about the user's preferences to improve their browsing or geolocation experience for the identification of the nearest store.

The website may also request some permissions to share data via social networks (e.g. Facebook, Google) that allow you to perform actions with the relevant User accounts and to collect information, including personal data, from it. In this case, reference must also be made to the terms of use, permissions, settings and privacy policy of the single social network.

The Information on Processing of Data collected automatically (in short, “Cookie Policy") is always available to the user who is kindly requested to read it carefully.

Moreover, you can manage the preferences through the appropriate online section.

Some information is necessary in order to provide the services connected to the Site and to the Group activities, and failure to collect them would make it impossible to provide the aforementioned services or involve the partial operation of the Site. The optional information does not affect the operation of the services and can be freely managed by the user.

The forms expressly indicate the mandatory items (with the symbol * or ü).

Explicit consent will always be required, by specific request, where necessary.

2.3 Data collected through the tracking device "Connequ"

If in use and connected according to the device's instructions, the App may automatically collect certain personal data related to the User during its normal operation, for the purpose of the requested tracking service.

Specifically, this includes data regarding the geographical location of the Users when they wear the Products and the Products themselves in case of loss, the MAC address of the Tracker, and the history of detections.

Furthermore, if the User has the Application open in the background on their device with the location function active, the Application will collect data regarding the location of the device used by the User even when the User is not directly interacting with the Application.

The presence of the application in the background is notified to the User based on their device settings. Such information is necessary in order to provide the services connected to the Application, and the failure to collect them would make it impossible to provide said services.

2.4) Data Collected Through the “Chatbot” Virtual Assistant

When used through user interaction with the AI chatbot system integrated into the customer service platform, the Websites may collect certain personal data related to the User during normal operation.
For example:
• identifying data (e.g., name, email, customer number);
• data related to the request (conversation content);
• any additional data voluntarily provided by the user during the interaction.

The personal data provided is processed solely for customer service purposes, including:
• managing information or technical/commercial support requests;
• automated forwarding to a human operator, if necessary;
• improving the customer care service, including through analysis of conversations (in pseudonymized or aggregated form).

Interactions are managed via an AI chatbot provided by the Zendesk platform, configured to deliver automated responses and, when necessary, transfer the conversation to a human operator.
Processing is carried out using IT and electronic tools, in accordance with the principles of lawfulness, fairness, and transparency.

3) Purpose of the processing of personal data and related legal basis

Your personal data will be processed:

• without the need for consent for the following purposes:
(i) to ensure the full and proper functioning of the Website and the App, manage various services related to the Website and the App (such as registration, language preferences, login or access to restricted features, selected products), use of Website and App features, creation of an online account, membership in the PQClub/TBClub Group clubs, Connequ App registration, order management, purchases, sales, and product delivery and tracking, customer service management including help desk, live chat, and AI chatbot, payment processing, returns and repairs handling, customer communication management (email/SMS/WhatsApp), and management of vouchers and discounts;

(iii) to collect and analyze Website and App traffic and usage data anonymously, perform internal statistics, business analysis and management, software usage analysis, evaluation of product and service satisfaction, customer service interactions and support requests, as well as to provide generalized promotional offers and—regarding contact data provided during the contract—send advertising for similar products, with the option for immediate opt-out upon request;
(iv) to synchronize the Tracker with a Product purchased at a Retail Point in order to facilitate tracking and retrieval in case of loss.

(iv) Performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures, and to fulfill a request from the data subject – lawful basis pursuant to Article 6, letter b) of the GDPR.

The granting of data marked on the form with (*) for the purposes described in foregoing section (i) is mandatory and the absence of the data and/or express refusal to processing them shall make it impossible for the Data Controller to execute the contract or execute the pre-contractual measures, fulfil the obligation with possible non-fulfilment and responsibility of the data subject also for sanctions contemplated by the law (e.g. impossible issue of the relevant invoice).

(ii) with your consent (Art. 7, GDPR) for the following purposes:
