Mode and place of processing the Data
Methods of processing
The Owner takes appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, modification, or unauthorised destruction of the Data.
The Data processing is carried out using computers and/or IT enabled tools, following organisational procedures and modes strictly related to the purposes indicated. In addition to the Owner, in some cases, the Data may be accessible to certain types of persons in charge, involved with the operation of this website (administration, sales, marketing, legal, system administration) or external parties (such as third-party technical service providers, mail carriers, hosting providers, IT companies, communications agencies) appointed, if necessary, as Data Processors by the Owner. The updated list of these parties may be requested from the Owner at any time.
Place
The Data is processed at the Owner’s operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located.
Depending on the User’s location, data transfers may involve transferring the User’s Data to a country other than their own. To find out more about the place of processing of such transferred Data, Users can check the section containing details about the processing of Personal Data.
Retention time
Unless specified otherwise in this document, Personal Data shall be processed and stored for as long as required by the purpose they have been collected for and may be retained for longer due to applicable legal obligation or based on the Users’ consent.
The purposes of processing
The Data concerning the User is collected to allow the Owner to provide its Service, comply with its legal obligations, respond to enforcement requests, protect its rights and interests (or those of its Users or third parties), detect any malicious or fraudulent activity, as well as the following: Contacting the User, Sending catalogues and commercial updates, Email management, Hosting and website security.
For specific information about the Personal Data used for each purpose, the User may refer to the section “Detailed information on the processing of Personal Data”.
Detailed information on the processing of Personal Data
Personal Data is collected for the following purposes and using the following services:
Contacting the User — Enquiry forms (this website)
By filling in one of the enquiry forms on this website (quotation request, request to become a distributor) with their Data, the User allows these details to be used to reply to requests for information, quotes or any other kind of request as indicated by the form’s header.
The Data entered in the form is transmitted to this website’s server and recorded in a restricted archive of the Owner, which only authorised staff can consult, with personal credentials. When a request is sent, the person in charge of the website receives an email notice showing the User’s name, company and country.
To prepare the reply, the text of the request may be read by an automated language processing program that the Owner runs on its own computers, without using third-party services. For internal use, the program suggests a summary and a classification of the request (language, type of request, models of interest, urgency). No decision concerning the User is taken automatically: every request is read and handled by a person.
Requests that the Owner follows up are recorded in its database of business contacts (CRM).
If sending to the website fails, the form composes an email in the User’s own mail program, addressed to the Owner’s mailbox webmaster@celaplatforms.com: in that case the Data travels only with that message.
Personal Data processed: first and last name; email address; phone number; company name; country; model, chassis, quantity and options of interest; company profile or activity; requested territory and brands handled (request to become a distributor); message; various types of Data.
The fields marked as required in the form are mandatory (name and email; in the distributor form also company name and territory): without them no reply is possible. All other Data is optional and only helps to prepare a more accurate reply.
Legal basis: steps taken at the User’s request prior to entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).
Retention: enquiries that do not lead to a contract are kept for 24 months from the last contact and then deleted; Data connected with a contract is kept for the periods required by law.
Sending catalogues and commercial updates (this website)
The forms include an optional box, “Commercial updates”, never pre-ticked, with which the User can ask to receive catalogues and news about the
Consent can be withdrawn at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal, by writing to the Owner (info@cela.it) or to the DPO (privacy@cela.it).
Personal Data processed: first and last name; email address; company name.
Retention: until consent is withdrawn.
Email management — Google Workspace (Google Ireland Limited)
Notices of requests received through the forms, messages composed by the forms when sending to the website fails, and any other email sent to the Owner are received through
Personal Data processed: the Data contained in the messages.

Further Information for Users
Legal basis of processing
The Owner may process Personal Data relating to Users if one of the following applies:
- Users have given their consent for one or more specific purposes;
- provision of Data is necessary for the performance of an agreement with the User and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof;
- processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the Owner is subject;
- processing is related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Owner;
- processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Owner or by a third party.
In any case, the Owner will gladly help to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of Personal Data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.
Further information about retention time
Unless specified otherwise in this document, Personal Data shall be processed and stored for as long as required by the purpose they have been collected for and may be retained for longer due to applicable legal obligation or based on the Users’ consent.
Therefore:
- Personal Data collected for purposes related to the performance of a contract between the Owner and the User shall be retained until such contract has been fully performed.
- Personal Data collected for the purposes of the Owner’s legitimate interests shall be retained as long as needed to fulfil such purposes. Users may find specific information regarding the legitimate interests pursued by the Owner within the relevant sections of this document or by contacting the Owner.
The Owner may be allowed to retain Personal Data for a longer period whenever the User has given consent to such processing, as long as such consent is not withdrawn. Furthermore, the Owner may be obliged to retain Personal Data for a longer period whenever required to fulfil a legal obligation or upon order of an authority.
Once the retention period expires, Personal Data shall be deleted. Therefore, the right of access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after expiration of the retention period.
The rights of Users based on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Users may exercise certain rights regarding their Data processed by the Owner.
In particular, Users have the right to do the following, to the extent permitted by law:
- Withdraw their consent at any time. Users have the right to withdraw consent where they have previously given their consent to the processing of their Personal Data.
- Object to processing of their Data. Users have the right to object to the processing of their Data if the processing is carried out on a legal basis other than consent.
- Access their Data. Users have the right to learn if Data is being processed by the Owner, obtain disclosure regarding certain aspects of the processing and obtain a copy of the Data undergoing processing.
- Verify and seek rectification. Users have the right to verify the accuracy of their Data and ask for it to be updated or corrected.
- Restrict the processing of their Data. Users have the right to restrict the processing of their Data. In this case, the Owner will not process their Data for any purpose other than storing it.
- Have their Personal Data deleted or otherwise removed. Users have the right to obtain the erasure of their Data from the Owner.
- Receive their Data and have it transferred to another controller. Users have the right to receive their Data in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format and, if technically feasible, to have it transmitted to another controller without any hindrance.
- Lodge a complaint. Users have the right to bring a claim before their competent data protection authority.
Users have the right to lodge a complaint under Articles 77 et seq. of the GDPR with a supervisory authority, which in Italy is the Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali (www.garanteprivacy.it). The procedures, methods, and timeframes for lodging complaints are governed by national legislation. Filing a complaint does not affect any other administrative or judicial remedies, which in Italy may be pursued before either the Garante or the competent court.
Users are also entitled to learn about the legal basis for Data transfers abroad including to any international organisation governed by public international law or set up by two or more countries, such as the UN, and about the security measures taken by the Owner to safeguard their Data.
Details about the right to object to processing
Where Personal Data is processed for a public interest, in the exercise of an official authority vested in the Owner or for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Owner, Users may object to such processing by providing a ground related to their particular situation to justify the objection.
Users must know that, however, should their Personal Data be processed for direct marketing purposes, they can object to that processing at any time, free of charge and without providing any justification. Where the User objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, the Personal Data will no longer be processed for such purposes. To learn whether the Owner is processing Personal Data for direct marketing purposes, Users may refer to the relevant sections of this document.
How to exercise these rights
Any requests to exercise User rights can be directed to the Owner through the contact details provided in this document (info@cela.it, PECcela@pec.it) or to the Data Protection Officer (privacy@cela.it). Such requests are free of charge and will be answered by the Owner as early as possible and always within one month, providing Users with the information required by law. Any rectification or erasure of Personal Data or restriction of processing will be communicated by the Owner to each recipient, if any, to whom the Personal Data has been disclosed unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. At the Users’ request, the Owner will inform them about those recipients.
