E-book download form. Name, email address, company role, company website and consent to processing.

With the e-book form and the calculator we may also record the page language and any campaign parameters in the page address (for example utm_source, utm_campaign or gclid), which show which ad or link brought you to the site.

The systems that run the website collect, in their normal operation, some data whose transmission is implicit in Internet protocols: IP address, browser type and operating system, addresses of the pages requested, date and time of the request, server response code. This data is used to run the website and keep it secure, including protection against unauthorised access and attacks.
3.3 Cookies and similar technologies
The website uses technical cookies and, only with your consent, statistics cookies. For details, see the Cookie Policy.

E-book data is used only to send you the requested material and reply to your request. We do not send newsletters or promotional messages without your specific, separate consent.
You can object at any time to processing based on legitimate interest by writing to the contact details in section 1.
Providing your data is optional, but without the required form fields we cannot reply to your request or send you the e-book or the calculator results.
5. How we process data
Data is processed electronically, with technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk (Art. 32 GDPR). In particular:
- contact form requests and form notifications are delivered to company @cofit.com mailboxes;
- e-book and calculator data is sent to an automation service (Make), which passes it to an email service (Brevo) to send you the e-book or the results;
- calculator data is also recorded in the controller’s customer relationship management system (Pipedrive CRM), where it is handled by Cofit’s sales staff.
6. Retention
Form data is kept for as long as needed to reply to your request and then for any business relationship that may follow, and in any case for no longer than 24 months after the last meaningful contact. The same limit applies to data held in the email service and the CRM.
Longer periods required by law apply where relevant (for example for tax and accounting purposes or to defend legal claims, generally up to 10 years).
Browsing data is kept for as long as needed for technical and security purposes. Cookie data is kept for the periods stated in the Cookie Policy.

Some providers (in particular Google, Vimeo, Automattic and Defiant) may process data in the United States. Transfers rely on the European Commission’s adequacy decision for providers certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Art. 45 GDPR) or on the Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46 GDPR), with supplementary measures where needed.
9. Your rights
Under Articles 15-22 GDPR you can ask at any time for access to your data, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability; you can object to processing (in particular processing based on legitimate interest) and withdraw your consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian supervisory authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali (Piazza Venezia 11, 00187 Rome, Italy — www.garanteprivacy.it), or with the supervisory authority of your country.
To exercise your rights, write to info@cofit.com, to the certified email cofit@pec.tuni.it, or by post to Cofit International S.r.l., Via J.F. Kennedy 9, 20023 Cerro Maggiore (MI), Italy. We reply within 30 days, unless extended as allowed by Art. 12(3) GDPR.
10. Data protection officer (DPO)
Cofit International S.r.l. has not appointed a DPO, as the conditions of Art. 37 GDPR do not apply.
11. Automated decision-making
The calculator produces an automatic estimate of lost production from the data you enter. The estimate is for information only and has no legal or similarly significant effect on you. We do not carry out solely automated decision-making or profiling within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.
12. Minors
The website is intended for companies and professionals, not for children under 16. If we learn that we have collected data from a child under 16, we delete it.
