Should you provide us with personal data of third parties, you shall process such personal data as an autonomous data controller and you shall do whatever is necessary to ensure that such communication and our subsequent use for the purposes specified from time to time are in compliance with the applicable reference legislation (for example: before providing us with personal data of third parties you shall obtain their prior informed consent, if required by the applicable legislation).
