The Voice For Life
Owner contact email: thevoiceforlife@gmail.com
The purpose of this privacy policy is to help users understand the procedures that the Owner uses in the area of privacy, including what personal data is collected, why it is collected, how it is used, how it is protected, and which individual rights users possess.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and excludes our responsibility, in terms of privacy, information, or other practices of third parties, including third parties who manage websites or services to which the thevoiceforlife.com site refers.
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data that the Owner acquires or processes when users interact with the thevoiceforlife.com website. Examples include: purchasing and using our services, responding to marketing communications, and contacting the Owner customer service. These interactions may involve visitors, clients, suppliers, and/or partners.
Furthermore, the Owner processes personal data in areas other than the thevoiceforlife.com site, which require other privacy policies.
In this Privacy Policy, the term “personal data” signifies information that refers to users. It allows us to identify users, directly or in combination with other information in our possession.
Users of the Site in General
The Owner processes user data based on consent. By using or consulting thevoiceforlife.com, users explicitly agree to this privacy policy and consent to the processing of their personal data in relation to the purposes and methods described below, including any disclosure to third parties, if necessary, for the provision of service. The provision of data and, consequently, the consent to the gathering and processing of data is optional. The user can deny consent, and may revoke consent at any time. However, denying consent may make it impossible to provide certain services and the browsing experience on the site may be compromised.
Clients
The Owner shall do everything possible, consistent with the electronic form of service, to maintain the utmost confidentiality in its performance of services. All texts, the nature of the work performed, the personal data of the client communicated for translation purposes, and any information transmitted by the client to the Owner are subject to the strictest confidentiality and the personal data collected shall be processed in accordance with Article 6 of the GDPR.
In particular, the Owner shall use the information provided for the execution of the contract (and for the eventual implementation of pre-contractual measures) and such information can not — without the prior written consent of the client — be disclosed publicly or to third parties, except to its authorised employees or their authorised subcontractors, should their operational or advisory intervention require knowledge of such information. The above guarantees do not apply if the Owner is obliged by law to disclose such information, or in the event that such information is, or enters, in the public domain regardless of the disclosure of the same by the Owner. This similarly applies to cases in which the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person require the processing of personal data, or where the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of the Owner or third parties, which is of a higher nature than the rights of the data subject.
Suppliers and Collaborators
The personal data of our freelance suppliers and collaborators (suppliers, translators, interpreters, graphic designers, affiliates, consultants, etc.) shall be treated in strict confidence. The only information that shall be communicated to third parties is the information published on our site, such as username, mother tongue, work experience, and studies. Other information such as first name, last name, date of birth, addresses, and telephone numbers shall be processed only by the Owner and its authorised suppliers (i.e., accountants, banks, etc.), exclusively for the purpose of the correct execution of the employment relationship with the same and fulfilment of any legal obligations.
The Data concerning the User is collected to allow the Owner to provide its Services, as well as for the following purposes: Analytics, Managing contacts and sending messages, Registration and authentication and Platform services and hosting.
Users can find further detailed information about such purposes of processing and about the specific Personal Data used for each purpose in the respective sections of this document.

Personal Data shall be processed and stored for as long as required by the purpose they have been collected for.
Therefore:
Personal Data collected for purposes related to the performance of a contract between the Owner and the User shall be retained until such contract has been fully performed.
Personal Data collected for the purposes of the Owner’s legitimate interests shall be retained as long as needed to fulfill such purposes. Users may find specific information regarding the legitimate interests pursued by the Owner within the relevant sections of this document or by contacting the Owner.
The Owner may be allowed to retain Personal Data for a longer period whenever the User has given consent to such processing, as long as such consent is not withdrawn. Furthermore, the Owner may be obliged to retain Personal Data for a longer period whenever required to do so for the performance of a legal obligation or upon order of an authority.
Once the retention period expires, Personal Data shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after expiration of the retention period.
