Through the appropriate forms made available on the Site, you will be able to freely decide whether or not to consent to the use of your Personal Data and contact details, also for market research, direct sales, including by telephone, for the placement of products or services, for commercial communications or marketing activities, relative to products and/or services offered by Enel X Way Italia or by other Enel Group Companies from time to time specifically identified in the data collection forms. Subject to your free and specific consent, for the purposes indicated above, your Personal Data may be processed by the Companies of the Enel Group identified, directly, as autonomous data controllers and/or by Enel X Italia, as Data Processor, on their behalf.
The prior acquisition of your consent for the marketing purposes as described above is not required when contact is made through telephone numbers (landline and/or mobile) and paper mail addresses belonging to persons listed in public telephone directories, in relation to which the rules on the Public Register of Oppositions are applicable, which permit the processing of such contact data regarding persons who have not exercised their right to object.
The acquisition of your consent for "profiling" purposes allows Enel X Italia to process your Personal Data for profiling activities based on your consumption preferences and on the data and information acquired by the Controller through the purchase of its products or services also for the purpose of receiving offers specifically tailored to your needs.
To study better services and products corresponding to its needs, Enel X Italia may make use of partnerships with selected companies that integrate census-type information on a statistical basis, relating to: personal preferences and interests, consumption preferences, economic and family situation, location or movements of the individual. Under no circumstances will your personal data be shared with third parties for profiling purposes.
The email address provided by you in the framework of possible contracts concluded with Enel X Italia may be used by this latter to send commercial offers relative to products and/or services similar to those previously purchased by you (so-called soft-spam). You may, however, at any time object to the processing of your Personal Data by sending a request to the dedicated mailbox referred to in paragraph Rights of the Data Subject of this notice.
Your personal and contact data may also be processed by Enel X Italia in order to carry out, on the basis of its own legitimate interest and having first verified, with regard to each single initiative, that the interests, rights or fundamental freedoms of the interested party do not prevail by means of a specific balancing test (Legitimate Interest Assessment), promotional activities for services and products offered by the Controller.
The processing of Personal Data for marketing purposes may be carried out by means of “traditional” methods (e.g. paper mail and/or operator calls), or by means of “automated” contact systems (e.g. text and/or MMS, telephone calls without operator intervention, email, fax, interactive applications).
The consent given by you for marketing purposes shall be deemed to have been given for both of the methods indicated, without prejudice, however, to your right to object, even partially, in relation to the different communication channels through which the marketing purposes are carried out, in the manner set out in paragraph Rights of the Data Subject of this notice.
Consent for marketing and profiling purposes is optional and does not prevent the possibility to use the products or services offered by Enel X Italia. Any consent given may be revoked at any time by sending a written notice to the email address given in the Rights of the Data Subject paragraph of this notice.
The provision of your Personal Data is necessary in all cases where the processing is carried out on the basis of a legal obligation or in order to perform a contract to which you are a party or the execution of pre-contractual measures taken at your request. In the latter cases, an eventual refusal may make it impossible for Enel X Italia to carry out your request.
The provision of your Personal Data is, on the other hand, voluntary for the pursuit of further purposes set out in the table, and failure to give your consent in relation to them shall in any event have no effect on the conclusion of a contract, if any. The mandatory or optional nature of consent will be specified at the time of collection of the Personal Data.
Legal Basis
Enel X Italia may process your Personal Data for the fulfilment of specific purposes and in the presence of a suitable legal basis provided by the applicable law on Personal Data protection. Specifically, Enel X Italia will only process your Personal Data when one or more of the following legal bases apply:
you have given your free, specific, informed, unequivocal and express consent to processing;
processing is necessary for the performance of a Contract to which you are party or the performance of pre-contractual measures taken at your request;
in the presence of a legitimate interest of Enel X Italia, provided that the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail;

Access to the Reserved Area
The reserved area can only be accessed via the Enel Single Profile Account. Users who were already registered for the digital services of Enel Group Companies participating in the Single Profile Account service prior to the creation of the Single Profile Account itself must accept the Terms and Conditions for the creation of the Single Profile Account.
Please note that it is not possible to access the service with login credentials generated before 9 September 2019, the date on which the Single Profile Account was introduced.
First-time Registration: Personal registration data are collected at the time the Single Profile Account is created at one of the web portals or mobile apps that provide registration functionality. The creation of the Single Profile Account allows you to access the reserved area of the web portals and mobile apps of the Enel Group companies enabled, using a single username and password.
Access after Registration: The reserved area can only be accessed via the Enel Single Profile Account. For authentication purposes, the Single Profile Account system receives the encrypted credentials entered by the user for verification and validation. Your Personal Data will therefore be processed for the sole purpose of verifying these credentials and enabling you to access them easily and without further charge from any country in which an Enel Group company is present. It is understood that such data, for the purposes of access to the reserved area, are in no case made available to the other Enel Group Companies accessible to the Single Profile Account.
Access to the restricted area is permitted in the following ways:
a) Via portals or mobile apps of Enel Group companies accessible to the Single Profile Account;
b) through the use of credentials chosen for the identity created on a social network (so-called “social login”), in particular identities created on AppleId, Facebook and Google, when the option is available. Following acceptance of the terms and conditions of the service, a Single Profile Account will still be associated with the user.
If you decide to access the reserved area through the credentials of a social network, Enel X Italia will need to acquire some of your Personal Data (First and Last Names, email) in compliance with the authorisations you have given to the social network of reference. You are therefore obliged to check the settings provided by the relevant social network and to read the relevant privacy policy carefully. However, at any time you can update or change any information you have acquired through the social login.
Enel X Italia will keep the identification code associated to your account at the social network service of reference when you use it to log in to Enel X Italia or to share contents hosted by the Site; storage will take place for as long as necessary to provide the requested services. In any case, Enel X Italia will not be aware of the credentials used by you for the social network.

Data Retention Period
