The Fine Print…

I usually read those pages that say “this is what we are going to do with your personal information.” And usually they’re pretty dull and boring. I ordered something online recently for an upcoming trip (to Italy, thanks for asking) and here’s what I was told:

A] 	the personal data you freely furnished will be:
	1) used for giving succession to Your application
	2) recorded on electronic supports for a possible
	   following reference
	3) treated as stated by our privacy regulations;

B] 	the personal data you freely furnished won't be communicated
	or diffused to third without your written consent;

C] 	to the senses of the art. 7 of the Unique Text on the Privacy,
	Legislative Decree 30-06-03 ns. 196, you will be able in any
	moment to consult, to integrate, to modify or to ask to cancel
	your personal data, or to oppose in everything or partly to
	their use to the anticipated goals from the precedent point A],
	forwarding formal application to the address zzz@zzz.zzz

I’m not trying to make fun of this at all. I find these painstaking renderings of foreign legalese into English quite delightful actually, and as long as I can “oppose in everything or partly”, I figure I’m reasonably safe from having my information abused.
