Personal Data which can be processed by Maserati through the Website are as follows:

Name, contact details and other Personal Data

In various sections of the Website – including, in particular, if you decide to create an account on the Website – you will be asked to submit information such as your name, phone / mobile numbers, e-mail address, date of birth, country of residence and address etc. When subscribing or signing up to receive Services, you might be asked to provide information as to your preferred mode of payment – PayPal, bank transfer or credit card.

Special categories of Personal Data

Certain areas of the Website (such as the form to request a test drive) include free text fields where you can provide Maserati with some information or needs, which you may use to communicate Personal Data.

Where these fields are completely free, you may use them to disclose (inadvertently or not) more sensitive categories of Personal Data, such as data revealing your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership. The content you upload in these fields may also (inadvertently or not) include other types of sensitive information relating to you, such as your genetic data, biometric data or data concerning your health, sex life or sexual orientation.

Maserati asks that you do not disclose any sensitive Personal Data on the Website, unless you consider this to be strictly necessary. As it is totally optional to provide this information, if you do, please mind that Maserati needs your explicit consent to process on sort of Personal Data. Maserati would stress the importance of providing your explicit consent to process this sort of Personal Data if you decide, nonetheless, to share it.
Other persons’ Personal Data

As mentioned in the previous section, certain areas of the Website include free text fields where you can write messages to Maserati. These messages may (inadvertently or not) include Personal Data related to other persons.

In any situation where you decide to share Personal Data related to other persons, you will be considered as an independent data controller regarding that Personal Data and must assume all inherent legal obligations and responsibilities.

Grounds for processing and mandatory / discretionary nature of processing

Maserati’s legal bases for processing your Personal Data, according to the purposes identified in Section 3, are as follows:

Service Provision: processing for these purposes is necessary to provide the Services and, therefore, is necessary for the performance of a contract with you. It is not mandatory for you to give Maserati your Personal Data for these purposes; however, if you do not, Maserati will not be able to provide any Services to you.
Marketing: processing for these purposes is based on your consent. It is not mandatory for you to give consent to Maserati for use of your Personal Data for these purposes, and you will suffer no consequence if you choose not to give it (aside from not being able to receive further marketing communications from Maserati). Any consent given may also be withdrawn at a later stage (please see Section 8 for more information).
Soft Spam: processing for this purpose is based on the interest of Maserati of sending you direct e-mail marketing communication regarding products and services similar to those you have purchased through the use of the Website. You can block these communications, and you will suffer no consequence if you do so (aside from not being able to receive further communications from the Maserati), by opposing through the link provided at the bottom of all such communications.
Profiling: processing for this purpose is based on your consent collected by means of the banner cookie and/or with a specific tickbox. It is not mandatory for you to give consent to Maserati for use of your Personal Data for this purpose, and you will suffer no consequence if you choose not to (aside from not being able to benefit from greater personalisation of your user experience regarding the Website). Any consent given may also be withdrawn at a later stage (please see Section 8 for more information).
Compliance: processing for this purpose is necessary for Maserati to comply with its legal obligations. When you provide any Personal Data to Maserati, Maserati must process it in accordance with the laws applicable to it, which may include retaining and reporting your Personal Data to official authorities for compliance with tax, customs or other legal obligations.
Misuse/Fraud: Information collected for this purpose is used exclusively to prevent and detect fraudulent activities or misuse of the Website (for potentially criminal purposes).
