1. Scopes and ways of processing.

The personal data of Data Subjects are processed in the context of AIM’s commercial activity, for the following scopes:

1. subscription and participation to the Event;
2. fiscal, administrative and accounting duties strictly connected to above participation;
3. execution of specific duties prescribed by law, regulation or EU norms (such as administration of credits for Continuing Medical Education);
4. distribution free of charge of documentation relating to the Event;
5. use the Data Subject image and/or voice, portrayed during the Event or uploaded by the same, within videos, audio and/or photographs of the Event itself, published on the AIM Group website and social networks, if any, or on the Event’s website and social networks, as well as on the Event’s digital platform (if any);
6. receipt of documentation from AIM in order to be updated on all its projects, initiatives and events, both my means of automated tools (such as newsletters, e-mails, SMS, MMS, robocalls, ecc.) and by means of traditional tools (hardcopy mail and/or operator calls) in the same area of
   interest;
7. with prior express consent of the Data Subject, receipt of documentation from all the other companies included into the AIM Group International, in order to be updated on all their projects, initiatives and events, both my means of automated tools (such as newsletters, e-mails, SMS, MMS, robocalls, ecc.) and by means of traditional tools (hardcopy mail and/or operator calls).

The processing of the personal data is executed, under authority of the Controller, by entities specifically Designated, authorized and instructed for the processing as per section2-quaterdecies of Italian Law Decree n. 196 dated June 30, 2003, as amended by Italian Law Decree n. 101 dated August 10, 2018 (hence, the “Privacy Law”) and as per sections 29 of the Data Protection Regulation, by means of manual, automated or telecom tools, with logics strictly connected to the scopes and in any case in such a way as toguarantee confidentiality and security of the personal data.

2. Juridical basis for processing, nature of transfer and consequences of denial, consent by Data Subject.

With reference to the scopes listed at preceding section 1, items 1., 4., 5. and 6, transfer of the personal data is mandatory and represents a necessary condition to the subscription and subsequent participation to the Event and receipt of documentation from AIM about future projects, initiatives and events in the same area of interest; indeed,failure to transfer will determine impossibility of subscribing the Data Subject to the Event and of involving him/her in any initiative of the Event or other AIM’s future projects, initiatives and events of the same area of interest; thus, the juridical base of the related processing is the full participation to the Event and the next update on AIM’s future projects, initiatives and events of the same area of interest, as per section 6, paragraph 1, letter b) of the Data Protection Regulation. Instead, with reference to the scope listed at preceding section 1, item 7., transfer of the personal data is optional, indeed the lack of consent will determine impossibility for the Data Subject to receive from all the other companies included into the AIM Group International information about projects, initiatives and events promoted by them. Thus, the juridical base of the related processing is the express consent of the Data Subject, as per section 6, paragraph 1, letter a) of the Data Protection Regulation. Finally, with reference to the scopes listed at preceding section 1, items 2. and 3., transfer of the personal data is mandatory and the legal basis of the processing is the fulfilment of legal obligations of the Data Controller, as per section 6, paragraph 1, letter c) of the Data Protection
Regulation.

3. Entities and categories of entities to which the personal data may be communicated and context of communication.

With regards to the scopes of the processing as indicated above, and within the strict boundaries of pertinence to these scopes, the personal data of the Data Subject will be communicated in Italy, in the European Union or beyond the European Union, to the following entities, for the scope of subscription and subsequent participation to the Event:

(ii) to financial institutions for the execution of payments related to the subscription;
(iii) to the structures and/or external companies that AIM uses for the scope of executing connected activities, instrumental or consequent to subscription and subsequent participation to the Event (such as press services, data processing and IT consultancies, promotional activities by companies participating to the Event, mailing of the event’s program, credits for Continuing Medical Education, hotel reservations etc.);
(iv) to external consultants (e.g. for management of fiscal duties) if not designated Processors in writing;

Above entities, to whom the personal data of the Data Subject will be or may be communicated (insofar as not being designated Processors), will treat the personal data as Controllers according to the Data Protection Regulation, in full autonomy, being completely separated from the original processing executed by AIM.

A detailed and constantly updated list of these entities, including their respective offices, is always available at AIM’s legal offices.
In the event of publication of images, videos and/or photographs of the Data Subject, specific information will be issued from time to time and specific release and consent will be requested.

Should the personal data of the Data Subject be transferred to countries outside the EU for the pursuit of the aforementioned purposes, such transfer will only take place against the existence of international agreements or adequacy decisions by the Commission (pursuant to Article 45 of the Privacy Regulation) or agreements containing the so-called “standard contractual clauses” (pursuant to Article 46 of the Privacy Regulation and pursuant to EU Commission Decision no. 2021/914 of 4 June 2021) or in the presence of binding corporate rules (pursuant to Article 47 of the Privacy Regulation), and in any case on the basis of appropriate safeguards ensuring that personal data is adequately protected in accordance with the principles of the Privacy Regulation. In the absence of an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45(3) of the Privacy Regulation or of adequate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 (standard contractual clauses) or Article 47 (binding corporate rules), the transfer of personal data to a third country outside the EU may only take place if one of the conditions set out in Article 49 of the Privacy Regulation is met.
