3. Purposes and Legal Bases

Orders and contract performance

We process data to accept and fulfil orders, receive payments, arrange delivery, provide order updates, manage returns/refunds and provide customer support. The legal basis is performance of a contract or steps taken at your request before entering into a contract.

Legal and accounting obligations

We may process and retain data where required for accounting, taxation, invoicing, food/product traceability, consumer protection and other applicable legal obligations.

Security and fraud prevention

We may process information necessary to protect the Website, customers, transactions and our business against fraud, abuse, security incidents and unlawful activity, based on legitimate interests and/or legal obligations.

Newsletter and direct marketing

If you subscribe or otherwise provide the required consent, we may send information about Anforantica products, launches, collections, stories, events and commercial offers. You may withdraw consent at any time using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us.

Analytics and advertising

Subject to your cookie choices, we may use analytics and advertising technologies to understand Website usage, improve performance, measure campaigns and conversions, create audiences and provide relevant advertising. Where consent is required, such technologies remain disabled until consent is given.

4. Payment Providers

Checkout on this Website is operated through Shopify. Depending on the option selected at checkout, payment processing may involve Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, supported payment-card networks/acquiring banks, or our banking institutions for bank transfers. The methods actually available are those displayed at checkout. Shopify and payment providers process relevant data under their own privacy notices and applicable law.

5. Shipping and Logistics

To fulfil orders, relevant personal data may be shared with DHL, UPS, FedEx, Poste Italiane or another suitable postal, courier, customs or logistics provider selected for the shipment. Data may include your name, address, telephone number, email address, order information and information necessary for customs clearance.

6. Other Service Providers

We may use service providers for e-commerce and checkout infrastructure (including Shopify), hosting, payment processing, fulfilment, delivery, analytics, advertising, email/newsletter distribution, IT and cybersecurity, and professional accounting, legal and tax services. Only data reasonably necessary for the relevant service will be disclosed.

7. International Transfers

Some providers may process personal data outside Italy or the European Economic Area. Where required, transfers will use a lawful mechanism such as an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses or other appropriate safeguards.

8. Retention

Personal data is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with legal, accounting and tax requirements. Order and invoicing records may be retained for periods required by Italian law. Newsletter information is retained until consent is withdrawn or it is no longer reasonably necessary. Cookie and tracking information is retained according to the applicable technology and consent-management settings.

9. Your Rights

Where the GDPR applies, you may have the right to access, correct, erase or restrict processing of personal data; object to certain processing; receive certain data in a portable format; withdraw consent; and lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority. Requests may be sent to olive.oil [at] anforantica [dot] it. You may also lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).

10. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to operate the Website, remember choices, analyse performance and, with consent where required, support advertising and marketing.

Strictly necessary

Used for essential functions such as security, shopping cart, checkout, session management, payment functionality, fraud prevention and remembering privacy choices. Where permitted by law, these do not require consent.

Analytics

Used to understand Website usage and performance. This may include Google Analytics. Where consent is required, analytics technologies are OFF by default.

Marketing and advertising

May include Google Ads, Meta Pixel and related measurement technologies for campaign measurement, conversion attribution, audience creation and relevant advertising. These are OFF by default where consent is required.

Functional

Used for optional features and enhanced functionality. Where consent is required, these are OFF by default.

11. Cookie Consent and Preferences

On the first visit, non-essential technologies requiring consent remain disabled unless you enable them. The consent interface should provide equivalent choices to Accept All, Reject Non-Essential and Manage Preferences. You may change or withdraw your choices at any time through the link in the Website footer. Closing the banner without accepting optional technologies must not activate them.

The exact cookie inventory depends on the final Website configuration. Before public launch and after material changes, the deployed technologies should be technically reviewed so that provider, purpose and duration information remains accurate.

12. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. No internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

13. Changes

We may update this Policy to reflect changes to the Website, services, providers, technology or applicable law. The current version will be made available on the Website.
