Correct Answer:
B. Commercial information under Italian privacy law can
be collected and processed without the need to obtain the
consent of the data subjects (i.e., the natural person or
legal entity whose information is collected). However, an
information statement requirement has to be fulfilled. In
practice, this means that a company whose business is to
collect and process commercial information must provide
the information statement to all data subjects. It is worth
highlighting that under Italian privacy law a natural person
and a legal entity are granted almost the same degree of
protection. This means that a company has a duty to provide
the information statement not only to its employees but
also to its customers in a B2B scenario (i.e., where customers
are other companies and not individuals).
In
Italy, does a company that gathers commercial information
have to give notice to or obtain consent from an individual
subject before gathering data about them?
A.
No notice; no consent. Italy does not have data privacy
requirements.
B.
Notice required; no consent.
C.
No notice; but consent required.
D.
Both notice and consent.
