What data we process and why
The criteria with which we manage your personal data are based on the principles of lawfulness, fairness, transparency and confidentiality, and of course on the rules governing privacy. (Regulation UE 679/2016 “GDPR” e DL 101/2018). We use your information for a variety of purposes and in different ways: what we do depends on what information we collect and why. Here's what we do.
What we collect
Your personal and contact information, such as name, surname, address, country, date of birth and email address. If you apply as a Local Friend or as a Host, we will also ask you for the data necessary for economic and fiscal obligations (bank details, tax code, etc.) and for the execution of the contract between you and Worldy srl. We also use cookies to collect technical information relating to your visit to our site.
Cookie management
Cookies are information that sites record on the memory of the device you use to navigate (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.): they can serve various purposes, including saving your preferences, recognizing you when you return to the site and personalizing your experience usage. You can see which cookies we use and why in our cookie policy: we will also explain how to manage them autonomously.
Why
We need your personal data to provide our service and to put you in contact with Local Friends and Hosts, in order to respond to your requests. If you are a Local Friend or a Host, we will also process your data for the necessary tax and legal obligations that govern our relationship.
How we handle them
Your data is processed automatically (on various systems) or manually, but always in compliance with the principles of lawfulness, fairness, transparency and confidentiality.
Who we share them with
When necessary, and always to respond to your requests, your personal data is shared with Local Friends and Hosts, so that they can respond to your requests and we can provide you with our service. We also use systems that are necessary to manage your relationship with us and to communicate with you when necessary or if you have given us consent to do so (such as the mailing systems we use to send you communications). In any case, our partners guarantee that your data will be processed in compliance with the same principles of lawfulness, correctness, transparency and confidentiality, and with the current legislation (GDPR and its additions). If you allow us (with specific explicit and revocable consent, as per legislation) we will be able to share your personal data with third parties (partners, external companies, consultants, etc.) for the purposes we will indicate to you. Remember that you can modify, limit or revoke your consent to these treatments at any time, exercising your rights (see below, in the section Your rights).
Where we handle them
We process your data exclusively in Italy and in countries that comply with the regulations in force in Italy (GDPR and related additions).

We will retain your information for one year after the last access to the service and for as long as we are required to keep it to ensure that we meet current legislation and tax and legal requirements. If you no longer wish to be a Worldy member, you can delete your account from the My Account section of the site; alternatively, you can request cancellation by contacting us at the addresses below, in the section How to contact us. In this case your data will be deleted within the period indicated by the current legislation (30 days), unless it is necessary to keep them to meet regulatory and / or legal requirements.
Your rights
