Types of data processed

In such cases, it will be www.giampaolograssi.com that will decide – at its sole discretion – whether or not to publish the proposed content. In the event that the message is disseminated via newsletters, the User who proposed this content remains responsible for the content, relieving the website www.giampaolograssi.com from any possible liability regarding damages caused by the message in question and for any errors or inaccuracies contained therein.
