[Owner — to be defined] ("we", "our" or "the Company") is committed to protecting the privacy of its users. This notice, provided under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR"), describes how we collect, use and protect the personal data provided through the finbear.it website, registration to the members' area, and the contact and sign-up forms.

2. What data we collect
We process the following categories of personal data:

- Contact data: the data you enter when writing to us through the site forms or by email.
- Browsing and technical data: IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, and data collected through cookies and similar tools (see the Cookie Policy).
- Subscription data (when active): in the future, once paid subscriptions are enabled, payment data will be handled directly by the payment service provider; we do not store full card details.
3. Why we process your data and on what basis
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Create and manage your account and give you access to members' areas and content | Provision of a service requested by the user (Art. 6.1.b GDPR) |
| Send you editorial communications, newsletters and updates | Consent (Art. 6.1.a GDPR) |
| Reply to your requests via the contact forms | Pre-contractual measures / legitimate interest |
| Ensure the security of the site and prevent abuse | Legitimate interest (Art. 6.1.f GDPR) |
| Measure and improve the site through analytics tools | Consent, via the cookie banner |
| Comply with legal obligations | Legal obligation (Art. 6.1.c GDPR) |
Providing registration data is necessary to access the members' services; consent to communications is free and can be withdrawn at any time.
4. How we process data
Data is processed lawfully, fairly and transparently, by automated and/or manual means, adopting appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect it against unauthorised access, loss or disclosure.
5. How long we keep data
We keep data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected: account data for as long as the account remains active; communication data until consent is withdrawn or you unsubscribe. Upon termination, data is deleted or anonymised, subject to legal obligations.
6. Who we share data with
Data is never sold or transferred to third parties for their own use. It may be processed on our behalf, as data processors, by service providers such as: website hosting, the email-marketing platform, analytics tools and, in the future, the payment provider. [Providers — to be defined]
Some providers may be located outside the European Economic Area: in that case the transfer takes place in compliance with the GDPR, on the basis of appropriate safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses).

- access to your data;
- rectification and updating;
- erasure ("right to be forgotten");
- restriction of processing;
- data portability;
- objection to processing;
- withdrawal of consent, at any time, without affecting processing already carried out.
To exercise them, write to info@finbear.it. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority (in Italy, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).
8. Cookies
