“Contact Us”

The companies of Bernoni Grant Thornton, in their capacity as Joint Controllers, process personal data in relation to contact requests submitted via the institutional BGT website.

The purpose of the processing is to provide information and respond to the requests received through the “Contact Us” section of the website. The sender’s email address will therefore be acquired, as it is necessary to respond, along with any other personal data included in the message. The processing is carried out pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter b) of the GDPR, for the performance of a service requested by you.

Personal data will be processed for the period necessary to fulfil the request and will subsequently be deleted in the absence of further contact. We invite you not to transmit personal data concerning criminal convictions and offences or data belonging to special categories (such as data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data, data concerning health or sexual orientation).

Data may also be accessed by data processors within outsourcing arrangements and by persons instructed in the processing of personal data pursuant to Article 29 of the GDPR, who will process the data in compliance with the provisions of this privacy notice.

Without prejudice to communications carried out in compliance with legal obligations (e.g., supervisory and control authorities and any public authority entitled to request such data), the data will not be otherwise communicated or disseminated. The processing is not subject to automated decision-making processes, including profiling.

Data processing will take place exclusively within a Member State of the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA).
