Introductory Notes 

AlbumEpoca is a web site created by the Italian company named 'PHOTOSÌ', with its legal office in Riccione (Rimini Province), that owns it and manages its direct diffusion in Italy and in every place on earth different from the Republic of Italy, in close collaboration with its Distributors. This site, built for being used by the customers, has an IT system that can properly treat the digital photographic images, and more precisely:
- The dissemination of information on the offered products;
- The dissemination of Epoca software client;
- Creating and placing orders of photographic products.

To use the Services offered by the AlbumEpoca website (hereafter shortly named also 'AE'), first of all the USER must give his/her consent and agree to the following conditions, according to the following rules. The Registration to AE can be done only when the USER has given his/her consent and has agreed to the aforementioned conditions, by clicking on the confirmation button in the general conditions of sale page. In the following text, the conditions to use the Services offered by AE are also described, to the interest of who will sign these, or the USER, as we called him/her previously. The USER holds responsibility for the personal information entered in the registration form, and has also the duty to update it, when his/her personal information would have changed, and therefore would not be updated.

Personal Information Protection Notes

Personal information of the USER will be stored to pursue the aims of the business relation that has been created with the registration, and for the performance of the specific obligations of legal, accountable and fiscal nature that can relate to the status of being a USER of the Services offered by AE (the USER).

Personal information entered by the USER in the registration phase can be transmitted to third parties and treated by these only for the aim to carry out the business relation (shipping, transport, handling, accounts). The names of the third companies will be always available to the USER, under his/her specific (and informal) request.

Personal information to carry out the business relation are treated with the support of IT facilities and paper documents that can ensure security and confidentiality; they won't be used for different aims than those aforementioned, without the previous consent of the USER.

The Person Responsible for the Personal Information treatment, in compliance with the Italian law 675/1996, is entitled to make decisions about the aims and treatment of the personal information of each USER, included the security profile, is the Owner of the website.

Further Personal Information

AE protects the USER's personal information using the best security devices. 
Orders and graphic projects showcased on the website are protected by a password and will be accessible only by the USERS or third parties to who the USER has gave his/her password.

The USER holds responsibility for the content of the images loaded on the Internet, and the Owner of the website avoids any responsibility for the decency of their content.

Security of the Service and Limitations of Liability

Even though AE uses the best technologies on the market, this server cannot be considered a  database for images, above all because the owner of the website is capable of cancel the graphic projects from his own server, when this may be necessary for technical or security reasons. The owner, indeed, does not guarantee the storing of the data on the website, and therefore the Service offered does not include any warranty on the storage of the pictures on the website: for this reason the USER cannot consider the website a database for pictures. Therefore the Owner denies any responsibility for partial or complete loss of pictures on the website.

Collaboration with Judiciary Authorities

The aforementioned Owner has the right to transmit the material on the website to the Judicial Authorities when requested to do it. He also has the unquestionable right to:
-collaborate, as far as the management of the website, with the Authorities in charge, if requested to;
- denounce to the Authorities any action that would offend human dignity and especially any abuse and maltreatment on underage children, in case these circumstances would casually occur to the company that owns the site;
- denounce to the Authorities any external attempt to enter the security system of the website, or any action that can be considered hostile.

4. INFORMATION ON THE PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION	
The Registration Information, as well as any other information, that can be linked to, directly or indirectly, a definite USER, is collected and used in compliance with the Italian Law n. 675/1996.

However, any failure, even partial, to give the information marked as necessary to pursue the aims described in 'a' sub. i) will determine the impossibility for the owner of the website to provide the Service.

For organization needs connected to perform the IT activities necessary to manage the Service, some personal information of the USERS could be disclosed abroad, in UE and extra-UE countries. The parties to which we will transmit communications will be companies that collaborate with the Owner to provide the Service, companies that will use the information to pursue the same aims for which the owner collected it.
d) Article 13 of the mentioned Italian Law 675/1996 gives to the USER the possibility to: (i) exercise his/her specific rights, among which the right to have the confirmation from the Owner if he has stored their personal information and if it has been disclosed: (ii) to know what is the source of this information and the logic of the aims of the treatment of personal information; (iii) to get their own information deleted, or transformed as anonymous or to hold the information treated in breach of the law, and also to update, to correct, or when needed, to complete their own personal information; (iv) to hinder, for lawful reasons, the treatment of their own information, and to oppose to the treatments aimed at marketing actions and commercial information.
