1. Edizioni Condé Nast S.p.A., with offices in Milan, piazza Castello n. 27 (hereafter "Condé Nast") has drawn up this privacy policy, according to article 13 of legislative decree n. 196 of June 30, 2003 (hereafter "Data Protection Code"), in order to describe the policies and the procedures adopted for the management of the web site at the domain www.vogue.it (hereafter "Web Site" or "Site") and the services made available through the Web Site and shows, ­initiatives, events, etc. organised by Condé Nast (hereafter "Services"), with regard to the collection and use of the personal data of the people who make use of the Web Site and/or the Services (hereafter "Users").

COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

Registration to the Community

2. At some areas of the Web Site or on the occasion of the use of some Services, the User is invited to join the Vogue.it community (hereafter "Community") in order to have access to certain services and privileges reserved to registered Users.
The Community is managed by Condé Nast through a newsletter service - that is sent periodically via email to the address provided by the User - that is used by Condé Nast to keep all registered Users up to date with regard to the exclusive initiatives that Condé Nast will make accessible to registered Users only, such as prize contests, blogs, forums, chat rooms, invitations, etc. (hereafter "Newsletter"). The Newsletter may include banners, promos and other commercials from Condé Nast or third parties.
Upon registering to the Community, the User is required to provide certain information, some of which - expressly indicated as such - are essential and mandatory for the registration (e.g. the e-mail address to be used to receive the Newsletter), while other information may be provided or not, at the User's discretion. Should such further information not be provided, the User still will be able to join the Community, but will not be able to participate to certain activities, and will only have a limited access to some Services. For example, the Users who do not provide their cell-phone number will not be invited via SMS to premieres and events and will not be able to participate to prize contests nor join games, polls or others carried on through SMS, MMS and alike. The same Users will not receive ring tones, logos, wallpapers and other multimedia contents for cell-phones nor commercial offers, discounts, information on Condé Nast's and its partners' promotions conveyed through mobile phones.
The User may combine an image (so called "avatar") to his profile and express preferences and decide which information to make publicly available and which to keep confidential from other Users.
Any time the User may modify or edit his profile and his preferences concerning data protection, and, where so permitted by Condé Nast, he may also provide further personal details that are necessary to participate to activities of the Web Site.
