This information may include demographic and contact details, such as name, surname, address, email, and phone number, and some information such as gender and profession.
We process data relating to the products you choose to save in the wishlist, associating them with your account, to allow you to create, consult, and manage your wishlist. Such data are retained for as long as you keep the account or the wishlist itself active. We also process data relating to the preferences you communicate to us regarding the Group's brands to allow you to indicate, freely and separately, for which brands you wish to receive communications and promotional content. This choice is optional, may be expressed separately for each brand and may be modified or withdrawn at any time without prejudice to the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
Specific summary notices may be made available on the pages of the Site, the App, or in specific forms prepared for particular services on request and for the release of consent for the processing subject to it.
Consumer Users:
For users acting as consumers, the Controller processes common personal data, such as, by way of example: name, surname, shipping and/or billing address, email address, phone number, as well as any further information necessary for managing requests and executing the contractual relationship.
Professional Users:
For users acting as professionals, the Controller may process, in addition to the data indicated above, further information relating to professional activity, such as: type of customer, type of services offered, company name or registered name, VAT number (where requested), as well as professional contact details.
The detailed General Policy on Data Treatment (in short, "Privacy Policy") is always available to the data subject, and we invite you to consult it carefully.
2.2) Automatically collected data
For the purpose of functioning of the services offered, the Website, the Application, and the Software indicated above will automatically collect certain data relating to the user during their normal operation, i.e., data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet and mobile telephony communication protocols (so-called log files), data relating to the operating system and the computer environment (IP addresses or domain names, addresses in URI - Uniform Resource Identifier notation), technical data relating to requests (time, method, size, status, outcome, etc.), technical data relating to access and session (e.g., authentication tokens, session identifiers), which may remain active for up to 365 days, to allow you to remain authenticated without having to log in again.
These data are collected through the use of systems capable of storing text files or information, such as Cookies or SDKs (Software Development Kits). This information may include navigation and functionality details, statistical and technical information, and, if opted, some information about the user's preferences to improve their browsing experience or geolocalisation to find the nearest store.
The relevant notice on the processing of automatically collected data (in short, "Cookie Policy") is always available to the user, and we invite you to consult it carefully. The option to manage preferences through the specific online section is also always available.
Some information is necessary to provide the services connected to the Site and the Group's activities, and failure to collect it would result in the impossibility of providing the aforementioned services or the partial functioning of the Site. Optional information does not affect the functioning of the services and can be freely managed by the user. It is always explicitly indicated in the forms and questionnaires which items are mandatory (by means of a * or checkbox symbol). Explicit consent will always be requested, through a specific request, where necessary.
2.3) Data collected through the "Connequ" tracking device
If in use and connected according to the device's instructions of use, the App during its normal operation may automatically collect certain personal data relating to the User, for the purpose of functioning of the requested tracking service. Specifically: data relating to the geographical position of Users when wearing the Products and of the Products themselves in case of loss, MAC address of the Tracker, detection history.
Furthermore, if the User has the Application open in the background on their device with the positioning function active, the Application will collect the data relating to the position of the device used by the User even when the User does not interact directly with the Application. The persistence of the application in the background is notified to the User based on their device's settings.
Such information is necessary to provide the services connected to the Application, and failure to collect it would result in the impossibility of providing the aforementioned services.
2.4) Geolocalisation data
Subject to your explicit consent, the Website and the App may collect on a non-continuous basis data relating to your geographical position (geolocalisation data) in order to provide the services you requested. You can activate or deactivate the collection of such data at any time through the settings of your mobile device.
2.5) Data integrated with third-party platforms
For our activities, we also use tools provided by third parties, including Google LLC and Meta Platforms Inc. To simplify the registration process and subsequent access to the personal Account, we offer the possibility to use the credentials of social accounts managed by third parties, such as Google, Meta (Facebook).
If you choose to use this method, subject to your explicit authorisation provided directly on the third-party provider's platform, the latter will share some of your personal data with our Company. The categories of data that will be transmitted are indicated in the authorization window of the provider itself and typically include name, surname, email address, and a unique identifier associated with the social profile.
The same data together with navigation data may be used, if you have consented through our cookie management banner, through the third-party provider's functionality, for example:
tools provided by Google Signals within the Google Analytics service;
tools provided by Meta, such as the tracking pixel and similar technologies integrated with Facebook and Instagram platforms;
tools provided by Shopify within the Shop service.
These features allow associating information about your navigation collected on our site (such as pages visited, actions performed, technical characteristics of your device, and your IP address) with your account data, provided that you are authenticated on that account and have enabled ad personalization in your settings.
In relation to data collected automatically through systems capable of storing text files or information, such as Cookies or SDKs (Software Development Kits), please refer to the specific policy available online. To understand how these providers process personal data, we invite you to consult their respective privacy policies. The use of the Social login function implies acceptance of the terms of service and privacy policies of said providers. You can at any time disconnect your social account from our user profile, by managing the settings both on our site and on the third-party provider's platform.
2.6) Tracking pixels in emails
Some of the emails we send may contain tracking pixels, which are small graphic elements that allow us to detect information relating to the opening of the message.
Processed Data: information about the opening of the email message (e.g., day and time of opening).
Purposes: We use such tools, only subject to consent, for the following purposes:
measurement of email open rates and optimization of campaigns, including adjusting the frequency of communications;
analysis of behaviors and creation of profiles to send personalized content and offers.
Legal basis: The legal basis of the processing is the consent of the data subject pursuant to Art. 6, par. 1, let. a) of the GDPR. The data subject can deny or withdraw consent at any time, in a granular manner and without losing the possibility to continue receiving our emails, by choosing separately whether to: (i) deactivate tracking pixels; or (ii) completely unsubscribe from communications.
To manage preferences or withdraw consent, the data subject can at any time use the link present in the footer of each email. The data subject retains full control of their personal data at all times and can freely decide not to provide consent or to withdraw it subsequently, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

4) Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools
The Piquadro Group uses Artificial Intelligence (hereinafter "AI") tools and technologies in its operational, commercial, and customer service activities.
Below is a detailed illustration of the purposes, data involved, and legal bases applicable to each processing. In general, the processing activities described in this section do not give rise to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significantly affect the data subject under Art. 22 of the GDPR, unless otherwise specified. In any case, in profiling and customer segmentation activities, the data subject retains the right to obtain human intervention, to express their opinion, and to contest the outcome of the processing.
4.1) Analysis of sales data and customer behavior
The Piquadro Group collects and analyzes e-commerce and retail sales data, integrated with behavioral data detected on the Piquadro, The Bridge, and Lancel websites, to identify recurring purchasing patterns and market trends useful for improving the commercial offer.
Processed data: data relating to purchases made (products, amounts, sales channel, date), browsing and behavioral data on the Site, aggregated and statistical data on customer behavior.
Legal basis: legitimate interest of the Controller pursuant to Art. 6, par. 1, let. f) of the GDPR, consisting in the improvement of commercial strategies and management of corporate business. Data are processed in aggregated or pseudonymized form where possible.
4.2) Advanced Profiling
Subject to your explicit and specific consent (Art. 6, par. 1, let. a) GDPR), we may process your data to analyze or predict aspects concerning your personal preferences, interests, and purchasing habits.
Data used for profiling:
The profiling activity is carried out by analyzing data such as: demographic and contact data, purchase history (for example "purchase frequency in the last 12 months", "preferred product category", "valore medio del carrello / average cart value", "interaction with email campaigns"), viewed products, products added to the cart (even if not purchased), interaction with our commercial communications (e.g., email opens, clicks on offers), navigation data on the Site and the App.
Logic used, significance, and envisaged consequences:
• Logic used: Data for advanced profiling purposes are processed with the help of artificial intelligence systems and machine learning algorithms. These systems identify correlations and recurring patterns in user behavior. For example, the algorithm can identify groups of users with similar interests, e.g., "backpacks," "bags," or "suitcases." This segmentation allows us to better understand your preferences and predict which products, services, and offers may be of greatest interest to you.
• Significance and envisaged consequences for the data subject: The main consequence for you is the receipt of commercial communications and the display of personalized content (e.g., advertising banners, product suggestions on the Site/App) that are more in line with your interests. For example, you might receive a discount on a product you have frequently viewed or suggestions for a subsequent purchase. Another consequence is exclusion from promotional campaigns considered irrelevant to you, thus avoiding unnecessary communications.
• Exclusion from the application of Art. 22 GDPR: It is specified that this profiling activity is aimed exclusively at personalizing commercial communications and user experience. It is not based solely on automated decision-making that produces legal effects (e.g., whether or not to conclude a contract) or similarly significantly affects your person (e.g., determining price discrimination or exclusion from essential services) under Art. 22 of the GDPR. All offers and services remain accessible to all users under standard conditions. You have the right to withdraw your consent to profiling at any time, without affecting the ability to use our services. In any case, you have the right to request human intervention, express your opinion, and contest any preliminary evaluation made by the algorithm.
Purposes of processing:
The processing of personal data is aimed at carrying out advanced profiling activities through the use of artificial intelligence systems and machine learning algorithms, aimed at analyzing the behavior, preferences, and interactions of the data subject. This analysis allows the creation of individual or group profiles, functional to the personalization of the services offered, to the proposal of targeted content and promotional initiatives, and to the preparation of products and features that better respond to the needs and interests of the customer.
Legal basis:
The legal basis of the processing is the consent of the data subject pursuant to Art. 6, par. 1, let. a) of the GDPR. The data subject retains full control of their personal data at all times and can freely decide not to provide consent or to withdraw it subsequently, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal. Providing consent to advanced profiling allows benefiting from a personalized experience and services more in line with your preferences, overall improving the quality and relevance of the proposals received.
Security and limitations:
The processing takes place in compliance with the principles of data protection by design and by default (Data Protection by Design and by Default). AI models are trained on previously anonymized datasets. Your data are not used to train new models.
User rights:
The user maintains full control over their data and can withdraw consent at any time, immediately stopping any further processing through artificial intelligence. Objection can be exercised in a simple and immediate manner by deactivating the function via the specific option in the personal area of the account or in the App's configuration settings. Deactivation of the feature will immediately stop any further processing of data for this purpose. The rights provided for in Articles 15 et seq. of the GDPR remain in any case exercisable, such as the right of access, erasure, restriction of processing, and withdrawal of consent, within the limits of applicability. For further information on the processing of personal data and the use of artificial intelligence technologies, you can contact the Controller at privacy@piquadro.com.
4.3) Customer Service Analysis
Data relating to interactions with customer service (messages, support requests, complaints) are analyzed using AI tools in order to identify areas of improvement for the service and optimize the overall customer experience.
Processed data: content of communications with customer service (text of messages, support tickets), customer identification data where necessary to the context of the request.
Legal basis: legitimate interest of the Controller pursuant to Art. 6, par. 1, let. f) GDPR, consisting in improving the quality of the service offered to customers. Data are processed in pseudonymized form where technically possible.
4.4) AI Assistant for Customer Service
To improve the efficiency and quality of the customer support service, the Piquadro Group has implemented artificial intelligence (AI) systems integrated in its communication channels, such as live chats (chatbots) and ticket management systems (help desk), with automated response functionalities for user requests and product suggestions based on the needs expressed by the data subject.
If used through the User's interaction with the AI chatbot system integrated in the customer support platform, the Websites during their normal operation may collect certain personal data relating to the User. Therefore, users are expressly invited not to share personal data that are not necessary for managing their request through these channels.
Processed data:
content of questions and requests formulated by the user in the interaction with the assistant, identification data where provided by the user during the conversation, any further data voluntarily provided by the user during the interaction, data relating to the request (content of the conversation).
The personal data subject to processing include:
• Identification and contact data (e.g., name, surname, email address) provided by you or already associated with your account.
• Content of communications: the text of your requests sent via email, chat, or other contact forms, and the history of previous interactions.
• Data relating to the context of the request: information on orders, purchased or viewed products, and technical navigation data, necessary to understand and resolve your request.
Purposes of processing:
The personal data provided are processed exclusively for customer support purposes, including:
1. Managing information or technical/commercial support requests;
2. Optimizing and automating assistance: providing automatic and immediate answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, via chatbot;
3. Qualifying and routing requests: analyzing the content of your request to understand the topic and urgency, and automatically routing it to the human operator or the department most competent for resolution;
4. Automated forwarding to a human operator, if necessary;
5. Supporting operators: assisting our customer service staff by suggesting relevant answers, knowledge base articles, or solutions to known problems, in order to accelerate response times and improve service consistency;
6. Improving the service: analyzing, in aggregated and anonymized form, recurring topics and issues emerged from interactions to identify areas of improvement of our products and services, in compliance with the data minimisation principle.
Legal basis:
The legal bases for the processing activities described above are as follows:
• For the purposes under points 1, 2, 3, and 4, the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party or for the execution of pre-contractual measures adopted at your request (Art. 6, par. 1, let. b) GDPR). The provision of effective customer support is indeed an integral part of the service offered.
• For the purposes under points 5 and 6, the processing is based on the legitimate interest of the Controller (Art. 6, par. 1, let. f) GDPR) to improve the quality of its services and the overall customer experience. We believe that this interest is balanced with your rights and freedoms, as the processing takes place on aggregated and anonymized data and has no direct impact on your person. You still have the right to object to such processing in accordance with the provided procedures.
Logic used:
AI systems analyze the text of your communications using Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies. These algorithms are trained to recognize the main topic, the intent (e.g., request for information, reporting a problem), and the tone (sentiment) of your request.
Significance and envisaged consequences:
The main consequence for you is the possibility of receiving faster and more efficient assistance. The system can instantly resolve common doubts or ensure that your request reaches the right person more quickly. It is specified that the AI system acts as a support and qualification tool. Decisions that can produce legal effects or similarly significantly affect your person (e.g., the management of a complex complaint, the decision on a refund) are not based solely on an automated process and always require review and validation by a human operator, in compliance with Art. 22 of the GDPR. In any case, you have the right to request human intervention, express your opinion, and contest any preliminary evaluation made by the algorithm.
Security and limitations:
The processing takes place in compliance with the principles of data protection by design and by default (Data Protection by Design and by Default).
• AI models are trained on previously anonymized datasets. Your conversations are not used to train new models.
• Access to conversation contents by authorized staff is limited solely to assistance and resolution purposes of your specific request.
4.5) Automated translation of digital content
Website content and product sheets are automatically translated into multiple languages using AI tools, in order to make the commercial offer accessible to international markets.
Processed data: textual content of the site and product sheets. This processing does not, as a rule, involve the processing of users' personal data.
Purposes: improvement of the user experience and simplicity of reaching and understanding content.
Legal basis: legitimate interest of the Controller pursuant to Art. 6, par. 1, let. f) GDPR.
5) Intra-group data sharing
This Policy provides summary information on how the Piquadro Group companies share information internally, which is detailedly regulated by reciprocal joint controller agreements.
As the Parent Company, in order to best govern the Group's strategies and efficiently and effectively realize the corporate business, Piquadro has decided to aggregate and unify administrative management and commercial and marketing direction, both regarding offline and online activities carried out through the websites and e-commerce platforms.
Therefore, Piquadro receives information from the Group's companies and shares it with them. Information collected by each company of the Group is shared and mutually used by the others, in order to make available, provide, improve, understand, personalize, support, and market services and offers, including products and the respective Piquadro/The Bridge/Lancel brands, and therefore within the predefined Group purposes under section 3.
Where provided, the data subject can withdraw consent at any time, also with reference to a single brand of the Group, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out before withdrawal. The withdrawal can be exercised in a granular manner and with the same ease with which consent was given.
Further information on the Group and its legal entities is available on the website https://www.piquadro.com/it/struttura-del-gruppo. In the event that the Group is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of its assets, information will be shared with the subsequent entities or new owners within the transaction in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
6) Categories of recipients of personal data
For the purposes of the previous paragraph, the personal data provided by you may be communicated or made accessible:
to employees and collaborators of the Controller, in their capacity as authorized data processors (or so-called "persons in charge of processing");
to third parties carrying out outsourcing activities on behalf of the Controller, in their capacity as Processors, including:
- service providers for the management of the information system and telecommunications networks and the company in charge of e-commerce management;
- service providers for the management of paper and/or computerized document archiving (cloud);
- service providers for the management of customer assistance activities, also through websites (e.g., call centers, help desks, chatbots, etc.);
- service providers for the management of commercial communication activities;
- providers of artificial intelligence solutions and platforms used for the purposes under section 4, integrated with corporate systems, which act as Processors pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR based on specific contractual agreements;
professionals, firms, or companies in the context of assistance and consultancy relationships, also for corporate organizational management control;
banks, credit, and insurance institutions for conducting economic activities (payments/collections) and insurance activities;
subjects performing control, audit, and certification activities of Piquadro S.p.A.'s operations also in the interest of customers, fraud detection and prevention agencies;
judicial or supervisory authorities, administrations, public entities, and bodies (national and foreign).
The complete and updated list of Processors can be requested in writing at privacy@piquadro.com.
7) Retention and transfer of personal data abroad
The management and retention of personal data take place in the cloud and on servers located inside and outside the European Union owned by and/or available to the Controller and/or third-party companies appointed, duly designated as Processors.
The transfer of data abroad to countries not belonging to the European Economic Area (EEA) takes place exclusively within intra-group communications for the purposes indicated above or toward contractual partners, in any case in compliance with the provisions of Chapter V, Articles 45 and 46 of the GDPR.
In particular, with reference to international transfers of personal data to third countries, the Piquadro Group adopts the following structured approach:
• Verification of destination: First, we verify whether the destination country benefits from an adequacy decision by the European Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR. Where such a decision exists, the transfer takes place without the need for further specific guarantees.
- For transfers to the United Kingdom and Japan, we rely on the "adequacy decisions" of the European Commission, which recognize an adequate level of data protection in these countries.
- For transfers to the USA, we rely on the "adequacy decisions" of the European Commission, as in the case of transfers to US organizations certified under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework".
- For transfers to the USA, Russia, China, and other countries without an adequacy decision, the transfer is justified by the necessity to deliver the purchased goods. We inform you that in these countries, data protection laws may not offer the same level of protection as in the European Union. The Group undertakes, where possible, to frame these ongoing relationships through appropriate guarantees such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
• Adoption of appropriate guarantees: In the absence of an adequacy decision, the transfer is based on appropriate guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 of the GDPR, mainly through the signing of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) adopted by the European Commission with the Decision of 4 June 2021, with the data importing entities.
• Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) and supplementary measures: In accordance with the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union (Schrems II ruling, C-311/18) and the Recommendations 01/2020 of the EDPB, each transfer based on SCC is preceded by a specific impact assessment to verify that the law of the third destination country does not prevent the importer from complying with the contractual obligations assumed. Where necessary, supplementary measures of a technical (e.g., data encryption, pseudonymisation), contractual, and organizational nature are implemented to guarantee a level of protection substantially equivalent to that ensured by the European legal system.
Your personal data will not be disseminated.

Global Effectiveness and Country-Specific Information
Our activity is based on transparency and respect for personal data on a global scale. This Policy has been drafted to be clear, complete, and understandable, in line with the highest data protection standards.
We adhere with commitment and professionalism to the GDPR, as the Parent Company is established in the European Union.
Services are provided by companies belonging to the Piquadro Group, operating in different jurisdictions and organized according to a multinational structure. In this context, the processing of personal data can be carried out by one or more entities of the group, which act, depending on the case, as independent controllers or joint controllers pursuant to Art. 26 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR").
The applicable controller varies depending on the service used, the country where the user is located, and/or the domain or application through which the services are delivered. If multiple entities of the group jointly determine the purposes and means of processing, they operate under a joint controllership regime, governed by specific internal agreements that define in a transparent manner their respective responsibilities in terms of personal data protection.
Personal data may be processed and shared among group companies within the limits strictly necessary for the purposes indicated in this Policy, also for the purpose of centralized management of information systems, customer service, security, regulatory compliance, and service improvement.
It is understood that, regardless of the group entity involved, the data subject can exercise their rights under applicable regulations against the competent controller indicated for their jurisdiction, or by contacting the single reference point indicated in this Policy, which will route the request to the responsible entity. The group's websites may be managed by different legal entities and/or be dedicated to specific geographical areas.
