Cookies - to find out more, we invite you to read the section "Cookie Policy - Cookie Setting" available at the bottom of every page on our website.
This is information that is not collected in order to be associated with you, but which by its very nature could, through processing and association with data in possession of third parties, allow you to be identified. This category of data includes the IP addresses or domain names of the computers used for navigation and which connect to the Sites, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) notation addresses of the resources requested, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in response, the numerical code indicating the status of the response given by the server (successful, error, etc.) and other parameters relating to the operating system and the IT environment. These data are not circulated, but are used only to obtain anonymous statistical information on the use of the Site and to check its correct operation, and are kept for the time periods defined by the relevant legal regulations. The data could, however, be used to ascertain responsibility in the event of hypothetical computer crimes to the detriment of the Site. Except in the latter case, such data are not retained for more than fifteen days. For further information and to manage your preferences, we invite you to view the section "Cookie Policy - Cookie Settings", which can be reached via the link available at the bottom of each page of our website.

Some data is submitted directly by you, when you decide to share - through your profile - images published on our social pages, comment on our posts and/or express your approval of one of our products, one of our initiatives or one of our events by selecting the appropriate features, as well as when you decide to write us a message using the private chat or other channels made available on the various social media.

The knowledge of much of your personal data depends on your chosen social media settings and the content you choose to make public. This data could include your first name, last name, some contact details, and the image associated with your social profile and related information collected through social log-in. We therefore remind you that some of your data may be visible to us should you decide to follow our social pages. For this reason, we invite you to read the privacy policy of the different social media and to check the privacy settings.
Personal data relating to minors
We would like to point out that the protection of the safety and privacy of minors is very important to the Tod's Group. Therefore, we do not intend to collect and do not intend to voluntarily use any personal data of persons under sixteen (16) years of age, or under any other age limit imposed by the laws in force in your country of residence. We therefore request you to refrain from providing us with any of your personal data if you are under the age of sixteen (16) years or under the age of majority in your country of residence.
- 3. How we use your personal data? Whenever we acquire and process your personal data, this will be done exclusively in accordance with the principles of legitimacy envisaged in the legislation. Your personal data will be processed on the basis of the following principles of lawfulness:
Consent, pursuant to Article 6.1 (a) of the Regulation, in order to
conduct marketing activities, both through automated tools (SMS, MMS, messaging platforms, e-mail, push notifications) and through traditional channels (paper mail, telephone call with operator). The marketing activities may take the form of sending newsletters, promotions, discounts, facilitations, commercial information, and other dedicated services, by paper mail, call with operator, direct sale, through e-mail, pre-recorded calls, 'social' or messaging platforms and SMS/MMS.
In this context, we may also process your personal data in order to invite you to participate in shows and events, to involve you in market research or to notify you of special initiatives dedicated to TOD'S Group customers, in the manner and at the times that we deem most effective based on the various initiatives mentioned;
analysing some of your personal tastes to identify your preferences, interests, and consumption choices, in order to provide you with services that better meet your expectations and needs.
The profiling activities may take the form of the analysis of information regarding your interests and preferences with regard to our products and services and your consumption choices: for example, by surveying the type and frequency of the purchases you make on our e-commerce sites, through your Personal Account and in "guest" mode, and at our boutiques, in order to be able to guarantee you a personalised service during your future visits to TOD'S Group boutiques. If you have also given your consent to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes, it will allow us to send you promotions and/or invitations to initiatives that are more in line with your profile, preferences, and expectations.
The provision of your personal data is entirely voluntary, but failure to provide some of them may result in your partial or total inability to be involved in our marketing initiatives.
Please note that, should you decide not to consent to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes, this would prevent us from being able to involve you in our promotional initiatives, including our periodic newsletter updates.
Should you decide not to consent to the processing of your personal data for profiling purposes, this would have no impact on your participation in our promotional communications plan, but would simply result in our inability to send you personalised promotional communications.

enable us to provide you with the services on the Website (hereinafter “Services”) to which you have subscribed. The personal data that we request you to provide when you subscribe to a given service are indispensable for the provision of that service; therefore, failure to provide them may make it impossible, in whole or in part, for you to benefit from them.

In particular, the processing of your data, including for profiling purposes, may be carried out by means of automated processes, for instance through the comparison and comparative analysis of your purchasing choices (types, quantities, frequency, etc.), during a given period and/or season, and through the analysis of the type and number of your possible requests for information on products made in a predetermined timeframe.
The data will be processed in such a way as to minimise the risks of destruction, loss, unauthorised access, or processing that is not permitted or not in accordance with the purposes of collection.
- 5. How we share your personal data? Your personal data will not be disclosed or sold.

Should it become necessary to transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), to companies of the Tod's Group and/or to third parties who carry out tasks of a technical and organisational nature on our behalf which are consistent with the pursuit of the purposes for which your data have been collected and processed, this will only take place where it is possible to guarantee a level of protection of personal data equivalent to that of the European Community.
In fact, we guarantee that your personal data may only be transferred to a country outside the European Economic Area if at least one of the instruments recognised by the Regulation as guaranteeing an adequate level of protection for the personal data transferred has been adopted, namely:
the Adequacy Decisions adopted by the European Commission pursuant to Article 45 of the Regulation;
the provision of specific Standard Contract Clauses, approved by the European Commission, in order to ensure that the level of protection of personal data processed by our partners outside the EEA complies with that guaranteed within the European Economic Area.
We also undertake to carry out, in accordance with the law, any prior risk assessment regarding the transfer of personal data, adopting, where appropriate, any additional security measures in addition to the protections already guaranteed by the aforementioned transfer instruments.
You can receive further information on data protection guarantees in case of transfer to countries outside the European Economic Area contacting our Data Protection Officer (DPO) to the addresses indicated in the Section 9 “How To Contact Us?” of the privacy policy.
