Specifically, the personal data that we gather include the categories of data described in the section: “How we use cookies (and analogous tracking technologies)”
as well as every other category of personal data referenced in this Data Privacy Statement or in other statements you have received from FIA.

Except for the information that we are required by law to gather, your decision to provide your personal data to FIA is voluntary and you will not be subject to any negative or discriminatory consequences in the event you decide to withhold your personal data. However, if you withhold certain information, FIA will not, or may not, be able to fulfill some or all of the goals listed in this Data Privacy Statement and we may be unable to utilize certain tools and systems which require the use of said personal data.

If you provide FIA with the personal data of another person (for example, a potential employee/reference), it is your responsibility to guarantee that said other person is aware of the information contained in this Data Privacy Statement and has consented to sharing his/her personal data with FIA.

The above categories of personal data were obtained either directly from you (for example, when you subscribe to a newsletter) or indirectly through third parties (for example, through our website technology). Such third parties include our partners and suppliers, public authorities, public websites and social media.

How we use your personal data and on what legal basis:

FIA utilizes your personal data only where needed for specific purposes. Please see the table below for (i) the purposes for which FIA utilizes Users’ personal data; and (ii) an overview of the legal basis of each purpose.

Where the table states that FIA relies on its legitimate interests for a given purpose, we believe that our legitimate interests are not secondary to Users’ interests, rights and freedoms, given (i) the transparency of our data use policy; (ii) our commitment to data protection starting from the design phase; (iii) the frequency of our data protection upgrades; and (iv) our respect for your data rights during processing. Contact us for more information on this comparative approach.

FIA will use your personal data for the abovementioned purposes based on the consent you provided and to the extent said consent is required by law.

FIA will not use your personal data for purposes that are incompatible with the purposes we have communicated to you unless said use is either required or authorized by law or is in your vital interest (for example, in the case of a medical emergency).

Examples of these data categories include ethnic or racial origin; political, philosophical, religious or other principle-based opinions; trade union membership; physical or mental health; biometric or genetic information; sexual orientation or lifestyle; or criminal records (including information on suspected criminal activity).

FIA has implemented appropriate measures to ensure the physical, technical and organizational security of all personal data in its possession. We use protocols, controls, policies, procedures and guidelines to manage our data security assets that take account of the risks to which personal data is exposed during storage and processing.

In respect of the use of our websites, the nature of the Internet is such that information and personal data may be present with limited or no restrictions on certain networks that interface our information systems without any or appropriate security measures and may be accessible and usable by persons other than those for whom such data was intended.
