Dear User, thank you for visiting our website.
The following sections describe how this website is managed with regard to the processing of the personal data of users who visit it. This notice is also provided pursuant to the GDPR to individuals who interact with the web services directly provided by Always Wands. This notice applies to the Always Wands website, for which Always Wands acts as the Data Controller, and not to any other websites that users may access through links. We invite you to read our Privacy Policy, set out below. The Privacy Policy and privacy standards adopted by Always Wands to protect personal data are based on the following principles:
1) Principle of Accountability
The processing of personal data is managed over time by specific responsibilities identified within the company's organisation.
2) Principle of Transparency
Personal data is collected and subsequently processed in accordance with the principles set out in the Privacy Policy adopted and indicated in this Privacy Policy. Whenever data is provided, the data subject is given a concise yet comprehensive privacy notice, as required by the GDPR.
3) Principle of Data Minimisation
Personal data is processed lawfully and fairly; it is collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes; it is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the purposes of processing; and it is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected.
4) Principle of Purpose Limitation
The purposes for processing personal data are communicated to data subjects at the time of collection. Any new processing activities unrelated to the stated purposes will be initiated only after a new privacy notice has been provided to the data subject and, where required by the GDPR, consent has been requested.
5) Principle of Verifiability
Personal data is accurate and kept up to date. It is also organised and stored in such a way that data subjects can, if they wish, find out which data has been collected and recorded, check its accuracy and request its correction, completion or erasure where the processing is unlawful, object to its processing, and exercise all other rights provided for under the GDPR by contacting the addresses indicated in the notices available on the Always Wands website.
6) Principle of Security
Personal data is protected by technical, IT, organisational, logistical and procedural security measures against the risks of destruction or loss, including accidental loss, unauthorised access or unlawful processing. These measures are periodically updated in line with technological developments, the nature of the data and the specific characteristics of the processing. They are continuously monitored and periodically reviewed.
With the consent of the data subjects, where required by law, and in any event following the provision of an appropriate privacy notice specifying the various purposes, personal data may be disclosed to third parties, both public and private, outside Always Wands, which will process such data as independent Data Controllers. Our Group accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the processing of personal data carried out by these third-party Data Controllers. Always Wands also accepts no responsibility for:
- the rules and procedures governing the management of personal data by other websites accessible from our pages through links and references;
- the content of any email services, web spaces or chat forums provided to users.
Processing activities connected with the web services offered by this website take place at the premises of the company Always Wands and, where applicable, at the premises of external Data Processors. Such activities are carried out by authorised personnel responsible for managing the requested services, marketing activities – where requested by the user –, data storage activities and occasional maintenance operations.
Scope of Data Disclosure
The personal data provided may be disclosed to third parties in order to fulfil legal obligations, comply with orders issued by duly authorised public authorities, or establish, exercise or defend a legal claim in judicial proceedings. Where necessary in connection with specific services or products requested, personal data may be disclosed to third parties acting as independent Data Controllers and performing functions strictly connected with and instrumental to the provision of such services or products. Without this disclosure, the services and products in question could not be provided. Personal data will not be disseminated, unless required by the requested service.
Types of Data Collected, Purposes and Methods of Processing
Please be aware that your professional and personal interests may be identified through your browsing of the website. However, this information is collected solely and exclusively to provide the requested services and, where applicable, to monitor the quality of the services offered.
Only with the user's explicit consent, given in accordance with the law, are electronic tools used to analyse and profile purchasing and professional choices in order to improve the range of services and commercial information, direct sales, and market research relating to products, services and events that match users' interests.
Personal data will also be processed to send commercial and promotional information, support direct sales and conduct market research on products, services and events (hereinafter collectively referred to as "marketing activities") on behalf of Always Wands, as well as for marketing activities carried out directly by Always Wands on behalf of Always Wands companies and third parties operating in the publishing, finance, economics, industry, luxury goods, services, telecommunications, ICT, insurance and non-profit sectors. Always Wands reserves the right to conduct marketing activities in the future on behalf of other categories of third parties that have not yet been identified. Marketing processing will be carried out using traditional methods (paper mail) and distance communication techniques, such as telephone calls, including automated calls, email, MMS, SMS and social media. Providing data for this purpose is optional, and processing requires the customer's consent.
With the consent of the data subjects, electronic tools are used to analyse browsing data and purchasing and professional choices ("profiling") in order to improve Always Wands' marketing activities. Refusal to consent to profiling would make it impossible to improve marketing offers so that they better match users' interests.
Data Voluntarily Provided by the User
The types of personal data collected and processed on the Always Wands website are those necessary to provide the various services offered. The data collected is processed using paper-based, automated and electronic methods, according to procedures strictly related to the purposes of processing. Your fax and telephone numbers and email address may also be used to provide you with the services. It is therefore clear that, if such data is not provided, services requiring these means of communication cannot be supplied. If you do not consent to the use of your email address and telephone number for advertising information, direct sales or interactive commercial communications, these means will not be used for such purposes. Specific privacy notices will be provided on the website pages designed for the possible submission of personal data. Any email voluntarily sent to the addresses indicated on the website entails the collection of the sender's address and any other information contained in the message; such personal data will be used solely to provide the requested service or fulfil the requested activity.
Browsing Data
Please note that, during their normal operation, the website's software procedures acquire certain personal data (browsing data) whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols. Although this information is not intended to be associated with identified users, its nature means that, if combined with other data held by third parties (e.g. your Internet service provider), it could allow users to be identified. This category includes the IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by users connecting to the website, the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) addresses of the requested resources, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the size of the file received in response, the numerical code indicating the status of the server's response (successful, error, etc.), and other parameters relating to the user's operating system and IT environment. This data is used solely to compile anonymous statistics on website usage and to check that the website is functioning correctly.
The Data Controller and, depending on the service requested, the designated Data Processors retain records (LOGs) of connections and browsing activity for a limited period in accordance with applicable law, in order to respond to any requests from judicial authorities or other public bodies legally entitled to request such records for the investigation of potential liability in cases involving cybercrime.
Providing Data
Except for the browsing data described above, users are free to provide or withhold the personal data requested in service registration forms. Some fields in these forms may be marked as mandatory; this means that the data is necessary to provide the requested service. If this data is not provided, the requested service cannot be delivered and the related opportunities will not be available.
Whenever data is provided, the data subject receives a privacy notice containing all the information required by the GDPR. The data subject is therefore asked to give informed, freely given, explicit and specific consent, documented in the manner prescribed by law, wherever such consent is required. If personal data is provided in subsequent stages, supplementary information may be added to previously issued notices and new consent to processing may be requested.
Security Measures Adopted to Protect Collected Data
The website uses secure architectures and technologies to protect personal data against improper disclosure, alteration or misuse. The safeguards applied to personal data are specifically intended to minimise the risks of destruction or loss, including accidental loss, unauthorised access, unlawful processing or processing incompatible with the purposes for which the data was collected. Periodic risk analyses are carried out to verify compliance with the established standards and, where necessary, to introduce new security measures following organisational changes, technological innovations or changes in the types of data collected. Security measures are continuously monitored and periodically reviewed. Data subjects have the right to exercise their rights under the GDPR at any time. Requests should be sent to info@alwayswands.com or to the specific contact details provided in the privacy notices made available to users when personal data is collected.
Cookie Policy
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file containing a certain amount of information that is exchanged between a website and your device (usually your browser). It is normally used by the website operator to store information needed to improve navigation within the website or to send advertising messages consistent with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the Internet. When the same website or any other website is visited again, the user's device checks whether a recognised cookie is present so that the information it contains can be read. Different cookies contain different information and are used for different purposes, such as efficient navigation between pages of the same website, profiling to deliver targeted promotional messages, and analysing the number of visits to a website.
More generally, some cookies (known as session cookies) are assigned to the user's device only for the duration of the visit to the website and expire automatically when the browser is closed. Other cookies (known as persistent cookies) remain on the device for an extended period.
Some cookies on this website are associated with your device and do not identify the end user. However, these cookies, which are stored temporarily until you finish browsing, may be associated with your account if you are a registered user. Cookies are used to facilitate, personalise and speed up your browsing experience on our website (for example, by keeping the shopping cart in the e-commerce area up to date), control access to services for which you have registered, and obtain anonymous statistics on website visits. If you choose to disable these cookies, you will lose many personalisation features and some services may no longer be available.
We also use other cookies to send advertising messages that reflect the preferences expressed by users while browsing the Internet.
While browsing a website, users may also receive cookies on their devices from other websites or web servers (so-called third parties), which may host certain elements (e.g. images, maps, sounds or specific links to pages on other domains) displayed on the website being visited. Some companies provide advertising on the website and may use cookies to ensure that the same advertisements are not shown too frequently or to collect traffic statistics in order to improve advertising content. These cookies are managed directly by the companies themselves, which act as independent Data Controllers. Always Wands has no access to these cookies and cannot control how they are subsequently used.
The specific purposes of the different types of cookies installed on this website are described in more detail below.
You can disable cookies by following the instructions provided below.

These cookies are used to send advertising messages that reflect the preferences expressed by users while browsing the Internet.
