3. DATA PROCESSED AND PURPOSES OF DATA PROCESSING
The mere consultation of the Websites does not in itself entail the collection and processing of users' personal data.
See sections 6 and 7 of this privacy policy concerning the relevance for privacy purposes of browsing data and cookies.
Data subject to collection within the Website are normally limited to users' name, surname, address and e-mail address.
In the sole case in which the collection of data is finalised to a professional or commercial relationship, further data identifying the person and/or the Company and their activity could be asked. In no cases sensitive data will be collected.
Where not otherwise stated, the conferment of data requested from time to time shall be understood to be obligatory for the purpose of completing access procedures to restricted areas of the website or for other specific functions.
As far as the processing's aims are concerned, they are diversified in function of the different sections of the Website in which the communication of personal data is requested. In particular:

MSK: the use of the customisation tools placed at the users' disposal does not entail the actual acquisition of their personal data. However, the information processed by the user through the use of said tools will generate an image file - given to the user as a printout - which is stored exclusively for technical reasons, for a period of at most 10 days before being deleted. In any case, Moleskine guarantees that any data, information and contents in general provided by the user shall not be handled during this period.

Should those pictures regard the user and/or third persons, the definition of personal data will be extended also to them. Anyhow, the user guarantees that he obtained the explicit consent of such third parties for the publishing and diffusion of those images by means of the Website.
Brand and Trademark: in this case, user's personal data will be processed in order to start the procedure for the release (and eventual further revocation) of an authorisation for the use of the trademark "Moleskine®".

Distributors: the personal data and information provided by the user shall be processed for the purpose of qualifying him as a Moleskine Distributor and, to this end, allowing him to access the restricted areas of the Website within which he will find written and photographic material to use for information or communications activities on behalf of Moleskine.
