Firenze Fiera shall take all technical and organizational measures, taking into account also the technical expertise and knowledge acquired alongside with the technological advancements suitable to guarantee integrity and safety of information and personal data collected on the site and processed by Firenze Fiera.

The Firenze Fiera S.p.A. policy on protection of minors
The safety of minors is, of course, of utmost importance to Firenze Fiera. The consent to processing of personal data of minors aged under 18 should, in any case, be formally given by their parents or the person exercising parental authority. Children should always ask their parents’ permission before sending their data to Firenze Fiera or to any other site or person online; our Site does not allow minors to register. In any case, should the parent or guardian of a child under the age of 18 believe that the child has provided us with personal information, he/she should contact us to have said data deleted from our files. If Firenze Fiera finds out that it is holding personal data of a child under the age of 18 it will immediately delete said data from the existing files. Although Firenze Fiera is seriously committed to carry out all necessary checks and inspections, we shall be held harmless from any liability and/or claim resulting from any false data provided by users. In summary, please note that all children under 18 must receive proper authorization from their parents or guardians prior to use or disclose their personal data on any website of any type.
