The GDPR distinguishes between organisations that process personal information for their own purposes (known as “data controllers”) and organisations that process personal information on behalf of others (known as “data processors”). I, Daniele Gasperi, located at the address provided in the Contact Me section below, act as a Data Controller with respect to the personal information you provide to me.
Legal Bases for Processing Your Personal Information
I will only collect and use your personal information when I have a legal right to do so. In such cases, I will process your personal information lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner. If I seek your consent to process your personal information and you are under 16 years of age, I will obtain consent from your parent or legal guardian for that specific purpose.
My lawful bases depend on the services you use and how you use them. This means I only collect and use your information on the following grounds:
Consent from You
Where you give me consent to collect and use your personal information for a specific purpose. You may withdraw your consent at any time using the facilities I provide; however, this will not affect any use of your information that has already taken place.

While you may withdraw your entry at any time, this will not affect any selection or judging that has already occurred. If you have any further enquiries about how to withdraw your consent, please feel free to contact me using the details provided in the Contact Me section of this privacy policy.
Performance of a Contract or Transaction
Where you have entered into a contract or transaction with me, or in order to take preparatory steps prior to entering into a contract or transaction with you.

In some cases, I may have a legal obligation to use or retain your personal information. Such cases may include (but are not limited to) court orders, criminal investigations, government requests, and regulatory obligations. If you have any further questions about how I retain personal information in order to comply with the law, please feel free to contact me using the details provided in the Contact Me section of this privacy policy.
