However, we may share your information with third-party services as an essential part of processing orders and providing services, such as:

Payment service providers and credit reference agencies for processing your order payments through our Website, such as UniCredit

4. How Long Do We Retain Information?

We retain personal information as long as necessary or relevant for our business purposes, for the purpose for which this information was originally collected, or processed, or as required by data protection laws. After this, we will delete unnecessary personal data.

When allowed by data protection laws, we will retain your personal information for essential business purposes, such as maintaining the performance of the EVENTURIA® service, making business decisions based on data about new features and offers, complying with legal obligations, and resolving disputes, such as in the following circumstances:

If there is an unresolved issue related to your account, such as an unpaid credit on your account or an unresolved complaint or dispute, we will retain the necessary personal data until the issue is resolved.

5. Children

Children (individuals under 18 years of age or another legal majority age in the local jurisdiction) are not eligible to use the Website without supervision, and we request that children not send us any personal information.

We do not knowingly collect or process personal information about children or minors under the age of 18 or another legal majority age, in accordance with local jurisdiction, unless we are legally obligated to do so by an authorized court order or government authority or with parental consent.

If we find that personal information has been transferred or collected by us concerning children and minors without the informed consent of a parent or legal guardian or in accordance with a legal obligation from a court or government authority, we will delete such personal information without undue delay.

If the data deletion request concerns the personal information of a child or minor, please attach appropriate proof of the parent or guardian status of the child or minor.

6. How do we store and secure your information?

We adhere to generally accepted industry standards to maintain the security of your personal information against loss, alteration, theft, or unauthorized third-party access, and other precautions to protect your information from the moment we receive it.

Any sensitive information transmitted is protected both online and offline. Data hosting service providers in the United States and Ireland host the information we collect, and we take technical measures to secure your data.

Sensitive information collected (such as credit card information) is encrypted and transmitted to us securely, and we use third-party processors, such as payment processors. We do not store such sensitive information but instead rely on third-party service providers to process the encrypted personal information you enter and transmit through the website to provide these services. EVENTURIA® contractually requires these third-party payment processors to comply with data protection laws and other applicable regulations regarding payment processing. Please check the relevant privacy terms of the service provider and ensure compliance with applicable laws before using such processor services.

We also protect your information offline. Only authorized employees have access to personally identifiable information. Computers/servers where we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

While we implement protection measures designed to protect your information, no security system is impenetrable. Due to the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that data, while transmitted over the Internet or stored in our systems, or otherwise in our care, is completely secure from hostile intrusion by others.
