Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy governs the online information collection practices of Crowe Bompani (“Crowe Bompani,” “we,” or “us”). Specifically, it outlines the types of information we collect about you when you use our website (the “Site”) and how we use that information.

Crowe Bompani Assurance Services SpA is a member of Crowe Global, a Swiss company. Each member firm of Crowe Global is a separate and independent legal entity. Crowe Bompani Assurance Services SpA and its affiliates are not responsible for any acts or omissions of Crowe Global or any other member of Crowe Global.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By visiting and using the Site, you agree that your use of the Site and any privacy-related disputes shall be governed by this Privacy Policy.

How we collect and use information

We may collect, store, and process personal or other information that you provide to us through your use of the Site. For example, firms that have applied for registration as Member Firms may be contacted by Crowe Global, and individuals who have contacted us with their information may be contacted to respond to their inquiries.

Crowe Global and Crowe Bompani collect personally identifiable information from their users through the pages of the Site, and from time to time, there may be other pages where similar information is requested. Typically, this information includes names, phone numbers, email addresses, passwords, and employment information for registration or opt-in purposes.

We also collect and store information generated automatically as you browse the Site. For example, we may collect information about your computer’s connection to the Internet, which allows us, among other things, to improve the layout of our web pages and measure traffic on the Site. The Site may also automatically recognize and store information about the type of browser you use, your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, the time, date, and duration of your visit, and the referring site. We also use a standard feature of browser software called “cookies” to enhance your experience with the Site. Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the Site, cookies help identify the number of unique users who visit us, track user trends and patterns, and can help deliver advertisements or other notifications. In addition, they can prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences in certain areas of the Site where you may have already provided preference information. Cookies may not expire unless you manually delete them or set your browser to reject them. If you do not accept cookies, you may have difficulty navigating the Site, or its performance may not be the same. The Site may also use web beacons (single-pixel image files, also known as “clear GIFs”) to access cookies and to count users who visit the Site or, subject to the user’s specific consent as required by applicable law , within our email communications (see the “Email Marketing and Opt-Out” section).

The information collected while you use the Site may be used in various ways, including to personalize the features and advertisements that may appear on the Site. Crowe Bompani may also share the information you provide with Crowe Global and its affiliated firms (“Members”), who may use your information to contact you as potential Members, clients, or for similar business purposes. Similarly, in cases where Crowe Global or its other Members collect information directly from you, they may share that information with us. In cases where your information is collected by Crowe Global or its other Members, their respective privacy policies will also apply to the use of your information, and those policies may differ from ours. If you have any questions regarding the privacy policy of Crowe Global or one of its other Members, you should contact Crowe Global or the other Member directly for further information.

We may also provide your information to third parties, such as data processors, other service providers, or advertisers, in order to improve your experience with us, with the Site, or with Crowe Global and its other Members, or to provide you with information about related products and services.

If you do not wish your information to be used for any of the purposes described above, please send an email to: [email protected] and specify the purposes for which you do not wish your information to be used. Please allow us a reasonable amount of time to remove your information from these purposes, and the cessation of these purposes may therefore not be immediate.

In addition, Crowe Bompani may disclose your information to the extent that such disclosure is required by law or to the extent that we reasonably believe such disclosure is necessary to protect our legal interests. We reserve the right to cooperate with legal authorities and to disclose such information to comply with legal proceedings. Your information may also be transferred to third parties in the event of a sale, acquisition, merger, or bankruptcy of Crowe Bompani, or in the event of a change in the member firm for a specific jurisdiction.

The Site may also include links to other websites or provide access to products and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies we do not control. When you access another website or purchase third-party products or services, the use of the information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the site you visit that provides such products or services or collects the information.

Use of Google Analytics

We may also use the advertising features of Google Analytics (or other similar services) to optimize our business.

Advertising features include:

Remarketing with Google Analytics;

Google Display Network impression reporting;

DoubleClick platform integrations;

Google Analytics demographic and interest reporting

By enabling these Google Analytics Display features, we are required to inform our visitors about the use of these features and that we and third-party providers use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) or other first-party identifiers, and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) or other third-party identifiers together to collect data about your activities on our Site. Among other uses, this allows us to contact you if you start filling out our checkout form but abandon it before completing it, by sending you an email reminding you to complete your order. The “Remarketing” feature allows us to reach people who have previously visited our Site and to match the right audience with the right ad.

In addition, through the use of advertising cookies, our partners assist us in delivering advertisements based on your history of using our services and viewing site content, as well as your geographic location (at the city level). These cookies are subject to prior consent. Specifically, Crowe Bompani Assurance Services Spa uses the Google advertising platform.

You can opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s ad settings, and/or you can opt out of a third-party provider’s use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page.

Your personal data may be processed by us in the United States in accordance with applicable European law. To the extent that your data is transferred by us to Crowe Global or among its members internationally, such transfers will be made using appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable law. BY ACCEPTING THE PRIVACY POLICY OF CROWE BOMPANI ASSURANCE SERVICES SPA, THEYOU UNEQUIVOCALLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY CONSENT TO THE INTERNATIONAL COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF ANY PERSONAL AND NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED OR OBTAINED BY CROWE BOMPANI ASSURANCE SERVICES SPA.

Retention of information

Your information is stored on Crowe Bompani’s servers, which provide our content and messaging, and is retained only as long as such information remains potentially useful for the purposes for which it was collected, and no longer. Your information is accessible only to us, to Crowe Global, to its Members who subscribe to its Global Directory, and to those who help manage its Member portal. These Members may also archive such information.

Email Marketing and Opt-Out

To the extent required by the U.S. Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 (CAN-SPAM Act) or other similar national and international regulations, all commercial emails we send will include an unsubscribe link. You may unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link found in every communication we send.

Please note that changes to your email marketing preferences may not take effect immediately, and Crowe Bompani may not be able to prevent all commercial email communications from Crowe Global or its other members; this may require you to use the opt-out features provided separately by Crowe Global or its other members.

In full compliance with the Guidelines on the Use of Trackers in Emails adopted by the Italian Data Protection Authority, our promotional communications may include tracking tools (such as pixels or web beacons) only with your express and free consent, which is separate from your consent to receive the email. These trackers are used to verify whether messages are opened and to monitor interaction with the content. You may revoke or modify this consent at any time by using the dedicated link at the bottom of each email or by disabling the automatic loading of images in your email client.

Your Privacy Rights

You have the right to access, transfer, update, correct, or delete your personal data, as well as the right to object to or restrict its processing, have it anonymized, or withdraw consent for any use based on consent. These rights may be exercised by sending an email to [email protected]. You also have the right to file a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe that your privacy rights regarding your personal data have not been properly respected.

When you contact us regarding your rights, you must include sufficient details to allow us to identify your record; at a minimum, your name, email address, and mailing address.

We will endeavor to provide the requested information within thirty (30) days of receipt. We reserve the right not to respond to requests submitted more than once within a calendar year or to those sent to an address other than the one specified in this notice.

You can determine whether this Privacy Policy has been revised since your last visit by referring to the “Effective Date of Current Policy” at the top of this page. Your use of our website constitutes your acceptance of the terms of this Privacy Policy, as amended or revised by us, and you should therefore review this Privacy Policy regularly to ensure that you are aware of its terms.
