Accordingly, Cantina Mingazzini S.r.l. will adhere to the Safe Harbor Principles and Frequently Asked Questions published by the U.S. Department of Commerce (collectively referred to as the “Principles”) at http://zexport.gov/safeharbor/ with respect to all such data, and will self-certify to the U.S. Department of Commerce compliance with the Principles.
If there is any conflict between the policies in this statement and the Principles, the Principles will govern. This statement outlines the general policy and practices for implementing the Principles, including the types of information Cantina Mingazzini S.r.l. gathers, how the information is used, and the choices affected individuals have regarding Cantina Mingazzini S.r.l.’s use of, and their ability to correct, that information.

The EU adopted the Directive on Data Protection (“EU Directive”), which requires EU member states to adopt laws protecting Personal Data collected within their borders. These laws must, among other provisions, restrict the transfer of Personal Data only to countries that have data protection laws deemed “adequate” under standards established in the EU Directive. The U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Commission have agreed on the Principles to enable U.S. Companies to satisfy the requirement under EU law that adequate protection be given to Personal Data transferred from the EU to the U.S.
