• to give you the opportunity to participate in Luxottica's initiatives;

• to give you the opportunity to take part in competitions and initiatives supported by Luxottica.

Processing of data for contractual purposes is necessary to allow the required products and services to be provided. If you do not want your personal data to be used for these purposes, Luxottica will not be able to provide you with the required products and services.

3.2 Legal purposes – We must ensure that we comply with our legal obligations
Luxottica can process your personal data to ensure that we comply with our legal obligations, especially in relation to the following legal purposes:

Processing of data for legal purposes is necessary as it is required by the applicable legislation. If you do not want your personal data to be processed for these purposes, then you cannot use the website.

3.3 Marketing purposes – You can accept or refuse to allow us to use your personal data for marketing-related activities
Luxottica processes your personal data with your prior consent for the following marketing purposes [with the exception of prescription information]:

• To send commercial and promotional information and ongoing updates (e.g. via e-mail, phone, sms/mms, post, social media and newsletter) relating to Luxottica's products, services, initiatives and events. If you are an existing Luxottica customer, Luxottica can also, in accordance with the article 130, subsection 4 of the legislative decree, send commercial information via e-mail about products, events and services similar to those already provided to you, unless you object to such processing at the time of collection and upon receipt of each communication. You can refuse processing at any time by following the instructions in the individual messages;

• to perform statistical analyses of the customer target group.

The processing of data for marketing purposes is discretionary, subject to your prior consent or your refusal under the circumstances mentioned in the above article 130, subsection 4 of the legislative decree. You are free not to provide personal data for marketing purposes, and you are also entitled to later withdraw the consent to process your personal data that you have given previously. In this case, Luxottica will no longer send you marketing communications or inform you of offers and campaigns relating to Luxottica's products, services and initiatives.

3.4 Segmentation and profiling purposes – If you wish, you can choose for marketing communications to be more closely adapted to your personal preferences
If you have given your consent for your personal data to be processed for marketing purposes, Luxottica can process your personal data for segmentation purposes to analyze your personal data as concerns purchase consumption, product categories, date of birth and purchase method in connection with marketing-related activities. This activity performed by Luxottica is based on Luxottica's legitimate interest in providing a service which meets your needs whilst also respecting your rights, as concerns the limited amount of personal data processed. Processing of personal data for segmentation purposes is covered on the grounds of legitimate interest, which we refer to in the following section.

If you have given your consent for cookies and other technologies to be installed via the banner on our website, in addition to the above, Luxottica will process your personal data for profiling purposes with a view to analyzing your interests and preferences, including browser data with specific reference to the pages you have visited, and the products you have viewed on the website, with a view to offering personalized services and sending targeted marketing communications based on this. This activity performed by Luxottica is based on Luxottica's legitimate interest in providing a service which meets your needs whilst also respecting your rights, as concerns the consent you have given via the cookie banner and in accordance with our cookie policy. This activity will help Luxottica to present you with more offers based on your profile. This legitimate interest is required by Luxottica to optimize its marketing communications, combined with the need to provide information that we consider to be relevant to you.

3.5 Purposes with legitimate interest – Your rights and Luxottica's rights are appropriately balanced unless you opt out
In addition to processing your personal data for segmentation and profiling purposes, Luxottica also processes your personal data for other purposes with legitimate interest, including:

• to assert a legal claim or defend a legal claim in legal proceedings or in administrative or extrajudicial proceedings regarding the rights of Luxottica and its companies and/or representatives, shareholders, employees and directors;
• to enable the technical management of the website and features of the website, including the resolution of technical issues, in order to carry out tests, updates and upgrades that cannot be carried out with non-personal data;
• to prevent or identify fraudulent activities or misuse of the website or targeting the Luxottica group and/or users of the website;
• to complete potential mergers, sales of shares, transfer of all or a significant part of its business or a financial transaction, by passing on or transferring the personal data to a third party or parties involved in the transaction as part of the transaction;

• to undertake surveys, including market research, in relation to Luxottica's products and services via post, phone or e-mail; to anonymize personal data in order to carry out statistical analyses.

Processing of your personal data in connection with the above-stated purposes with legitimate interest and segmentation purposes takes place in accordance with article 6, point f) of the GDPR to exercise Luxottica's legitimate interest, which is suitably balanced with your interest, in that the data processing only takes place for the purpose of carrying out such economic activities when this is strictly necessary. Such processing of data is not compulsory, and you can therefore object to the data processing in question at any time using the procedures that are outlined in this data protection policy. In this case, data will not be processed by Luxottica for this purpose, unless Luxottica demonstrates the existence of compelling legitimate grounds or to exercise Luxottica's rights in connection with article 21 of the GDPR.

4.WHAT METHODS DO WE USE WHEN PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
The electronic and manual processing of your personal data takes place exclusively within the limits necessary to fulfill the above purposes.

Luxottica undertakes to protect users' personal data. Luxottica recommends that, among other measures, a password is used to protect the account. Users are therefore encouraged to use a password that is sufficiently secure and to store it somewhere secure on their own PC and browsers where access to it is limited, and to log out again after visiting the website. All personal data relating to users is stored on secure servers with appropriate security measures to protect personal data from any unauthorized access which will ensure the accuracy of the personal data and guarantee proper use of the data. Furthermore, a secure system is used to approve credit card payments and identify fraudulent actions. Luxottica uses standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) to protect your personal data.

5. WHO DO WE PROVIDE YOUR PERSONAL DATA TO?
Luxottica can disclose your personal data to:

• third-party service providers who are responsible for data processing activities and provide services or assistance and advice to Luxottica, including but not limited to: technology, accounting, administration, law, insurance, IT, marketing, data analysis;
• companies in the Luxottica group;
• persons and authorities who are authorized by law, rules or regulations issued by legally authorized authorities to access your personal data;
• a potential buyer of Luxottica and their companies, in connection with a merger or transformation that involves Luxottica;

• and competent authorities.

The above receivers will process your personal data as data controllers, data processors or persons with responsibility for data processing, depending on the circumstances.

It is possible to request a copy of a complete list of data processors via the procedures that are outlined in this data protection policy.

6. WHO CAN YOUR PERSONAL DATA BE TRANSFERRED TO?
Luxottica is permitted to transfer your personal data to the above-stated receivers, including receivers outside of the EU and specifically receivers in the USA. For transfers from the EU to countries that are considered by the European Commission to have an insufficient degree of protection, the company has taken the necessary and appropriate precautions to protect personal data. Personal data is thus transferred in accordance with the requirements and obligations of applicable data protection legislation pursuant to Article 44 et seq of the GDPR. For more information on the necessary and appropriate security measures and means, and the procedure the user may follow to obtain a copy of these, the user can contact Luxottica through the channels described in this data protection policy.

13.Use of information capsules 

13.1 What are cookies?  
A cookie is a small text file that is usually formed of letters and numbers, which is transferred and stored for a period of time determined by the provider on the device used by the user (a computer or any mobile device) when the user accesses the website. For example, certain cookies uniquely identify one device so that it can be differentiated from other devices.

Please be aware that other similar technologies used to collect information about the device you use, such as pixel tags, web beacons or social network plugins also fall under the category of "cookies".

13.2 Why we use cookies
These cookies are necessary to ensure the website functions correctly, and provides the user with a good search experience, for example, when moving from one page of the website to another whilst providing the services offered (for example, purchase of and payment for glasses). Other cookies are required to make your search quicker and easier, for example, to remember login details or the content of the shopping cart, or to adapt searches to the user's preferences or characteristics, insofar as this is possible. In addition, certain cookies are used to submit information to the provider of the website, which can be used for statistical purposes, for example by seeing how many users are logged in, as well as to send tailored campaign messages or to ensure a direct link to the social networks.

13.3 What data do the cookies contain?
The data collected by cookies is generally related to the user's device, such as the IP address, login data, operating system and platform, setting for the time zone, country of origin, information regarding visits to the website, including the URL, time spent on the website, search words that are typed into the website, products that are viewed or placed in the shopping cart, website response times, download errors and data on page interaction, such as the number of clicks or search patterns.

Generally, this data is not enough to personally identify the user, but it could be, if all this data is read in conjunction, or combined with additional data collected by Luxottica or a third party.

We have encoded and differentiated cookies in relation to how long they are stored on the user's device, the party that installs and administers them and, not least, the purpose for which they are installed.
a) Terms
Session cookies are defined as cookies that are installed when the website is opened. They are then deleted when the browser is closed, when the website is closed, or when the session expires. The data is therefore only stored temporarily, ensuring that the ability to navigate the website is retained, for example.
Permanent cookies are cookies that are stored on the user's device for a period determined by the provider, even after the browser is closed. Amongst other features, this allows the user's name and password or preferences to be remembered so that the user does not have to enter them again the next time the website is opened.

) Who installs cookies?
First-party cookies are those installed and controlled directly by Luxottica. Conversely, third-party cookies are installed by an operator via a domain other than the website where the user is browsing, and these are not controlled directly by Luxottica. This is the case, for example, with the statistical analysis cookies from Google Analytics, or when the website integrates elements from advertising platforms or other services. The installation of third-party cookies therefore requires prior approval from Luxottica.

c) The purpose of cookies which are used by Luxottica on this website
- Strictly necessary (or technical) cookies: these ensure that the both website and the services provided on it can be used correctly. They make it possible, for example, to recognize the country where the user is visiting from, and remembers the selections made via the banners which contain the short privacy policy (consenting to the use of cookies), so that the user does not have to make the selections every time the website is opened in order to purchase a product. This improves the user experience by storing login data or products preselected in the shopping cart.

They are used exclusively to ensure the basic function of the website, therefore prior consent from the user is not required before they are installed. The user can change the settings in their browser to block these cookies. However, this may prevent some parts of the website, or the website as a whole, from functioning. 

- Analytical cookies: some are installed and controlled directly by Luxottica, and are used to analyze how the website is being used (number of visits, traffic sources, viewed pages), so that the operator can make changes and improve the website. They can obtain data anonymously, but only for statistical purposes.

Other analytical cookies can be installed by third parties to track the user's activity on the website, so that useful data can be collected for Luxottica.

To help the user make a better-informed decision regarding consent to the collection of such cookies, we recommend that you read Google's privacy policies (https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=da) or go to: https://www.youronlinechoices.com/den/

- Marketing and profiling cookies: these track a user's browsing activity on the website, so that personalized content can be created on the website, so that user can be shown products that may interest them, or which are similar to the products the user has already viewed, and can be sent advertising messages which match the user's preferences: refusing or withdrawing consent will not affect the ability to access or search the website. Other analytical cookies can be installed by third parties to track the user's activity on the website, so that useful data can be collected for Luxottica.

To help the user make a better-informed decision regarding consent to the collection of such cookies, we recommend that you read Google's privacy policies relating to Google Adsense (https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=da) or go to http://www.youronlinechoices.com/den/

- Cookies on social networks: these cookies give the user the option to use the various functions on the social networks thanks to the use of plugins which are integrated into our website, which allow a direct connection to the server of the selected social network. These plugins are controlled by a third party. These cookies are not necessary for browsing. For information on the use of cookies from the social networks and to provide informed consent, we recommend that you read the respective privacy policies on the social networks:

13.4 A brief guide to controlling cookies: how to install and delete them
Strictly necessary cookies, which allow the basic functions of the website, are installed automatically when the website is opened, without requiring any consent. For other categories of cookies, where it may or may not be necessary to give consent, the user will see a cookie banner (privacy preferences), when the user opens the website for the first time. This cookie banner contains a short privacy policy and a link to the cookie policy. If the user has already given their preferences via the cookie banner, the cookie banner will no longer be shown automatically, provided that the user visits the website again within the next six months. However, the user can view and change their preferences at any time via the privacy center.

But, if consent has already been given for the use of cookies, to delete any cookies installed before consent was withdrawn, the user must delete these via the settings for their browser. Below are instructions on how to change the cookies settings in the most commonly used browsers:
Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Internet Explorer

The user can also indicate their preferences regarding the installation of cookies via www.yourprivacychoises.com

13.5 Who has access to the data that is collected via cookies?

With regard to the cookies installed by Luxottica, only Luxottica employees who are responsible for, trained for and instructed in carrying out these tasks are able to access the data collected via cookies. With regard to third-party cookies, data is collected to be used by Luxottica and by external parties who are contractually linked to Luxottica.
