**Place of Data Processing and Transfer Abroad**
Data processing activities occur outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. The GDPR requires that the data subject is clearly informed by the Data Controller of the risks that international data transfer may pose to personal data, allowing them to give free, specific, and informed consent. We inform you that the servers storing this data, concerning Vanguard Media, are installed in ITALY; therefore, the data is also transferred abroad (meaning non-European Union and non-European Economic Area countries).

In this case, the Data Controller guarantees in advance that the transfer, if necessary, will take place only under the specific conditions set forth in Articles 44 and following of the GDPR.

Personal data will be processed in paper form or with automated tools for the time strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which they were collected, by the Data Controller and other authorized parties. Personal data will be retained until the purposes mentioned in this notice are achieved and in compliance with legal obligations. Data processing mainly uses electronic and telematic methods by Vanguard Media and other selected third parties to ensure reliability and competence.

When processing data that may directly or indirectly identify users, Vanguard Media follows the principle of strict necessity. For this reason, Vanguard Media has configured the site to minimize the use of personal data: user data processing is excluded when the pursued purposes can be achieved using anonymous data or methods that identify the subject only if necessary or upon request by authorities (e.g., IP addresses related to traffic and time spent on the site).

Personal data will only be shared with third parties upon the subject’s express consent, unless required by law, or necessary for legal purposes or requested activities. Vanguard Media reserves the right to delete accounts and related data if illegal content is detected, harmful to the image of Vanguard Media or its services, or content that promotes illegal or defamatory activities, pornography, violence, discrimination based on race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation.

**Data Retention Period**
Personal data will be kept for the duration of registration on the site and for a maximum period of two years after the termination of the relationship, in compliance with legal obligations. If there are any debt situations, data will be retained for up to two years after resolving the debt.

**Access to Personal Data**
Subjects may verify, provide, and modify registered data by sending an email to office@vanguardesign.com. Users can also verify their data at any time by sending an email to office@vanguardesign.com. Vanguard Media reserves the right to reject illegitimate or unfounded requests.

Some personal data, implicitly transmitted via internet communication protocols, may allow user identification through third-party processes. These data may include: addresses provided by internet service providers, computer domain names, URIs of requested resources, request timestamps, request methods, file sizes received in response, and status codes returned by servers.

**Exercise of Data Subject Rights**
In relation to personal data processing, the subject has rights under Articles 15-22 of the GDPR, including the right to know data processed by Vanguard Media, request its integration, modification, deletion, or oppose its processing for legitimate reasons. These requests can be made by emailing office@vanguardesign.com.
