  • for the detection and prevention of crime and to assist the police and other competent authorities with investigations;

Processing where consent has been given

Personal data will also be processed by WRO-ITALY where we have your consent.

Examples
where consent would be sought include where the law or some other protocol requires that we obtain your consent (for certain marketing or fundraising communications) or where, having balanced the our legitimate interests against data subjects’ rights, interests and expectations, we feel it is appropriate to obtain consent for our processing, rather than rely on the legitimate interests
basis.

Where applicable, consent will always be specific and informed, and the consequences of consenting or not, or of withdrawing consent, will be made clear.

Special categories of personal data

In addition to the above, WRO-ITALY may process types of personal data that the law considers to fall into a special category (such as race, religion, health, sexual life or criminal record). This will be under the following circumstances:

  • where such processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (including sharing with the WRO-ITALY’s insurers and legal advisers) or the prevention or detection of crime (for example, detecting criminal actions through the use of CCTV or reporting allegations to the police);
  • where it is in the data subject’s vital interests to do so but the data subject is incapable of giving consent, for example to inform a specified emergency contact, health or emergency services in the event of illness or other emergency.

Data subject rights

Data subjects have the right to contact us

  • to request that we erase their personal data;
  • to request that we restrict our data processing activities in relation to their personal data;

  • to require us to correct the personal data we hold about them if it is incorrect.
