- Approximate Location Data: the postal code (ZIP code) associated with the area where the device used to configure the coffee machine is located. The location is never precise: the device renders it approximate, and the Controller receives and retains only the corresponding ZIP code, without any address, exact coordinates or other more precise details;

- Data relating to the use of IT systems: data connected to the use of strictly necessary cookies, i.e. text files that the App installs on the device to ensure the proper delivery of the essential functionalities of the service, including the use of tracking tools for the detection of errors and malfunctions.
- Data relating to interaction with e-mail communications: promotional communications sent by e-mail contain tracking pixels, i.e. very small, invisible images which, when the message is opened, make it possible to detect, by way of example, whether and when the e-mail was opened, the number of times it was opened, the type of device and e-mail client used, and the IP address.
The Data processed by the Joint Controllers for the optional marketing and profiling purposes only, subject to the Data Subjects' consent, correspond to the identification data already collected in the context of registration and use of the App (first name, last name, e-mail address and, where provided, telephone number and date of birth). Data relating to interaction with e-mail communications are processed solely for the marketing purpose set out in paragraph 5(h) below and are not used for any other purpose.
4. Source of the Data
The Data are collected directly from the Data Subject during the App registration process, as well as from third parties. The latter case may occur, for example, if the Data Subject chooses to log in to the App using the "Sign in with Apple" or "Sign in with Google" function.
For further details on the functioning, data sharing and management of "Login with Apple/Google", please refer to the privacy notices made available by each third party.

8. Nature of the Data provision
The provision of the Data is optional but necessary in order to access the App and use the services offered. Any refusal to provide the aforementioned Data would therefore make it impossible to use the App.
The location data (ZIP code) is necessary to complete the pairing of the coffee machine with the user's App present on the personal device. Failure to provide it prevents the completion of such pairing. Once the aforementioned pairing is completed, Data Subjects may disable location from their device without any impact on the services already activated. The provision of optional Data possibly requested during registration (phone number and date of birth) as well as the provision of the Data for marketing and profiling purposes, is entirely optional, and any refusal to provide such Data does not in any way affect access to the App or the use of the service.
9. Persons authorised to process personal data
The Data may be processed by:
- personnel and operators of the Data Controller appointed to pursue the purposes indicated above, who have been expressly authorized to process the Data by the Data Controller and have received appropriate operational instructions and are subject to confidentiality obligations;
- personnel and operators of the Joint Controllers, who have been expressly authorized to process by the Joint Controllers, in relation to marketing and profiling purposes and have received appropriate operational instructions and are subject to confidentiality obligations.
10. Recipients of the Data
The Data may be disclosed to:
- companies within the La Marzocco Group and premium resellers acting as Joint Controllers for marketing and profiling purposes, or as independent controllers to provide local assistance services;
- entities, bodies or public authorities to whom Data must be disclosed in compliance with a legal obligation, an order or for the prevention and suppression of unlawful activities;
- third-party companies (e.g., Google), acting as independent controllers, that provide cookies and tracking tools strictly necessary for the functioning of the App;
- third-party companies acting as independent controllers, should the user decide to link the App to services or platforms offered by them.
The Data may also be processed by third parties, on behalf of the Data Controller and/or the Joint Controllers, designated as data processors pursuant to Art. 28 of the GDPR, to whom appropriate operational instructions are imparted, including:
- providers of cloud computing services and technological infrastructure;
- providers of platforms for managing support requests and customer relationship management (CRM);
- companies offering legal, tax or administrative consulting services;
- providers of platforms for managing and sending marketing communications.
11. Transfer of personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area
Certain Data may be transferred to recipients located outside the European Economic Area. The Data Controller and/or the Joint Controllers ensure that such transfers are carried out in compliance with the GDPR. In particular, transfers may be based on an adequacy decision, on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, or on other appropriate safeguards.
Upon request by the Data Subject, the Controller and/or the Joint Controllers will make available the list of recipients located outside the European Economic Area.
12. Rights of the data subject
