1. PURPOSES OF THE PROCESSING AND TYPES OF DATA PROCESSED

  • a. To fulfil contractual or pre-contractual obligations

    (e.g. in the case of quotes).

      Tailor Engineering stores your personal data only for the time strictly necessary. We adopt specific policies and procedures for the management and storage of information in order to ensure that your personal data is deleted after a reasonable period of time based on the following storage criteria:

      • We store your personal data as long as a business relationship is maintained (pre-contractual phase, contract or purchase order);
      • We store your personal data for the time necessary to comply with our legal, fiscal, accounting and regulatory obligations, including the provisions of Article 2946 of the Italian Civil Code.

  • b) For marketing purposes

    The majority of the personal data collected and used by Tailor Engineering for marketing purposes refers to professional contacts of employees or collaborators of our clients and other companies with whom a commercial relationship is maintained or is in a pre-contractual stage. We may also obtain contact details acquired from:

    • business cards collected at events, meetings or conferences;
    • publicly accessible sources, including content published online, to establish an initial contact with a certain person employed by a client or another company.

    Tailor Engineering sends marketing emails in order to develop or maintain a commercial relationship, to notify recipients of new initiatives and to sponsor products and/or services, in compliance with data protection law and applicable marketing legislation.

    Like most companies, Tailor Engineering uses CRM (Customer Relationship Management) technology to manage and monitor its marketing initiatives.
