HOW WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA SAFE

AVM uses a wide range of security measures to improve the protection and maintenance of the security, integrity and accessibility of its personal data.
Although at present, as you know, no one can guarantee the security of data transmission intrusions that occur on the Internet and on websites, we, our suppliers and business partners are committed to ensuring physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal data by the law and with the utmost responsibility. 
All of your personal information is stored on our secure servers (or secure paper copies), or those of our suppliers or business partners, and is accessible and usable by our security standards and policies (or equivalent standards for our suppliers or business partners).
Let us adopt, among other measures, measures such as:
•    the strict restriction of access to your personal data, on a need-to-know basis and for the sole purpose communicated;
•    perimeter security systems to prohibit unauthorised access from the outside
•    the permanent monitoring of access to information systems to detect and stop the abuse of personal data.
•    six-monthly penetration tests 
•    aimed at highlighting any leaks in perimeter security
•    tracking of access to your personal data by internal staff and verification of the purpose
•    Transactions on our websites that require your personal data to be entered are encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology
Where we have provided you (or you have chosen) with a password that enables you to access certain parts of our website or other portals, applications or services provided by us, you shall be responsible for the confidentiality of such password and for compliance with any other security procedures that we have notified you of. 
Please do not share your password with anyone.

HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR INFORMATION

We store your personal data only for the time necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected or for any other legitimate purpose related to it. Therefore, if personal data are processed for two different purposes, we will retain those data until the purpose expires with the longer term, but we will no longer process personal data for that purpose for which the retention period has expired. We restrict access to your personal data only to those who need to use it to perform their duties. 
Your personal data, which is no longer needed or for which there is no longer a legal basis for its storage, is anonymised irreversibly (and in this way can be stored) or securely destroyed.

Below are the storage times for the different purposes listed above:
Fulfilment of contractual obligations: the data processed to fulfil any contractual obligation may be kept for the entire duration of the contract as well as for the next 10 years (in the case of the Venezia Unica card, for 1 year after expiry of the card), in order to verify any outstanding matters or for compliance with legal obligations (e.g. accounting documentation).
We would point out that, for data collected using RFID technology only (validation of travel tickets), the data is deleted after 24 hours.

Operational management and purposes strictly connected to this for access to the website: the data processed for this purpose may be stored for 1 year following the duration of the underlying contract for which access was made.
Purpose of customer satisfaction surveys: the data processed for this purpose may be kept for 3 years from the date of the survey.
Marketing Purposes: Personal data processed for marketing purposes may be retained for 2 years from the date on which we obtained your last consent for such purposes (except for the opposition to receive further communications).
Disputes: If it is necessary to defend ourselves or to act or also to make claims against you or any third party, we may retain personal data that we reasonably deem necessary to process for such purposes, for as long as such claim can be pursued.

WITH WHOM WE MAY SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION 

Your personal data may be accessed by employees of AVM, as well as by suppliers and collaborators, duly appointed data processors, who provide support for the provision of services, and by companies in the AVM group (including Actv S.p.A., which carries out the TPL service operationally, and Ve.La. S.p.A. that deals with the marketing of travel tickets and marketing activities).
