During the validity of this instrument and after its termination or rescission, ECOTRACE undertakes to maintain the identity of the USER in absolute secrecy. This said, all the DATA PROCESSING operations that are carried out will ensure that the PLATFORM USERS are not identified to third parties.

Furthermore, ECOTRACE, in order to guarantee the traceability of the products originating from the supply chain, of which the Farmer is part, will make use of the data informed via the PLATFORM.

In case of any doubts on the procedures reported above, the USER must contact ECOTRACE to resolve any questions.

Neither the USER, nor the VISITOR have and will have any property, title or direct or indirect participation in the PLATFORM, in the site or in ECOTRACE.

Even if using a computer infrastructure managed by a third party, ECOTRACE does not authorize the use of the USER’s information by the service provider.

Even if ECOTRACE chooses service providers that are world leaders in data security, ECOTRACE disclaims responsibility for any possible hacker attack or failure of security technologies that could lead to this information being exposed.

ECOTRACE protects all the USER’s personal data using standards of care that are technically and economically reasonable considering current Internet technology. The USER recognizes that there can be no expectation of total security on the Internet against the invasion of websites or other irregular acts.

ECOTRACE reserves the right to provide the USER’s data and information, as well as all the system used in the PLATFORM, to its technical team, which may be formed by ECOTRACE employees and/or by ECOTRACE outsourced, which will be responsible for managing the security and reliability of the PLATFORM and the USERS’ data.

All members of the technical team, whether employees or ECOTRACE outsourced, will sign a confidentiality agreement, declaring that they are obliged to keep all commercial, accounting, administrative, technological, infrastructural, technical information under strict secrecy, i.e., any data mutually revealed as a result of the maintenance of the operation and security of the PLATFORM. In addition, they will refrain from using them for their own benefit or for the benefit of third parties, undertaking to ensure that their partners, employees and third parties of their trust, informed of this obligation, also do so.
