GDPR Article 13

Privacy notice

This notice explains what the site collects, why it is processed, how long it is kept and how you can exercise your rights.

Data controller

The data controller is Salvatore Fadda, individual promoter of the Bosa in Scooter project. Privacy contact: info@bosainscooter.it.

Data, purposes and lawful bases

For validation we collect requested period, scooter quantity, age range, 50cc/125cc preference, stay location, origin macro-region and whether the licence has been held for more than five years. We do not ask for a name, exact age, address or documents. An optional notes field is available with a 500-character limit and must not contain sensitive data.

Responses are designed not to identify a person directly and are used to measure demand, seasonality and interest in the service. These data and technical metadata required for delivery, security and abuse prevention are processed under the controller's legitimate interests, GDPR Article 6(1)(f), following a necessity and balancing assessment.

As hosting provider, Vercel may process each visitor's IP address, approximate location derived from the IP address, request URL and parameters, date and time, response status, execution region and user-agent. These data are not added to the research response or used by the controller for profiling or advertising.

If you voluntarily request contact, we collect your email on the basis of consent under Article 6(1)(a). Consent is separate, optional and withdrawable. If you later make a specific availability or information request, necessary data may be processed to take pre-contractual steps at your request under Article 6(1)(b).

The administration area is restricted to one authorised GitHub account. GitHub ID, name, email, email-verification status, profile image, OAuth scopes, encrypted OAuth tokens, session token and timestamps, IP address and user-agent are processed for authentication, access control and security. The lawful basis is the controller's legitimate interest in protecting and administering the service under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Required and optional data

The fields without direct identifiers and confirmation that the notice was read are required to submit a response. Notes, contact, email and related consent are always optional. Without contact, the form does not display or submit an email address.

OAuth and session data are required only for the administrator who chooses to access the restricted area; the public website does not require a GitHub account.

Recipients and providers

Database: Neon (Databricks). Role: Data processor / Responsabile del trattamento (managed PostgreSQL provider). Region: AWS Europe (Frankfurt), eu-central-1, Germany. Transfer safeguards: EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Decision 2021/914) incorporated into the executed Neon DPA.

Database provider privacy notice

  • Vercel, Inc.: processor for hosting, CDN, functions and technical logs. Processing location: global edge network; server functions configured in Frankfurt (fra1). Transfer safeguards: EU-US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses, where applicable. Provider privacy notice
  • GitHub, Inc.: OAuth provider and independent controller for processing on its own platform. Processing location: European Union, United States and other countries described in GitHub's notice. Transfer safeguards: EU-US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses. Provider privacy notice

Responses and contact requests can be viewed only by the controller through a protected dashboard and are not sold or used for advertising. Technical providers may process only the data needed to provide the database, hosting, security and authentication services under the roles and agreements described below.

Transfers outside the EEA

The database is configured in the region stated above. Vercel uses a global edge network, and GitHub also processes data in the United States and other countries. Transfers subject to the GDPR rely, according to the service and applicable agreement, on adequacy decisions such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

The form remains disabled unless the safeguards actually verified for the database provider have been configured.

Retention and deletion

Raw responses are used for market research and undergo a documented necessity review at least every 24 months. If an individual record is no longer necessary, it is erased or converted into genuinely anonymous aggregate data. Irreversibly anonymous statistics may be retained without a fixed end date.

Email addresses are kept only while needed to communicate service availability or until consent is withdrawn. Necessity is reviewed at least every 24 months; if the purpose is no longer current, the email is erased or renewed consent is requested. The absence of an erasure request does not justify unlimited retention.

Administrative sessions have an eight-hour expiry that may be refreshed while in use. They are deleted on sign-out or, once expired, on the next administrative or OAuth request. Expired OAuth verification records are removed in the same way. The GitHub profile, linked account and encrypted OAuth tokens are kept while administrative access remains authorised and necessary.

Vercel technical logs follow the native retention of the active plan and are not exported through a Log Drain. Any change to the plan, retention or log destination requires a new assessment and an update to this notice.

Rights and withdrawal

You may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and, where applicable, portability. You may withdraw contact consent at any time by writing to the controller; withdrawal does not affect processing carried out lawfully before withdrawal.

You may lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority. Responses without an email do not contain direct identifiers, but dates, locations, timestamps or notes may still make them personal data. If there is not enough information to locate one, a request concerning an individual response may not be technically actionable.

Cookies and analytics

The site does not install third-party analytics or non-essential cookies. The administration area uses a first-party session cookie that is HttpOnly, Secure in production and SameSite=Lax, with an eight-hour expiry, plus a short-lived cookie that protects the OAuth flow. These cookies are strictly necessary and are not used for profiling or advertising.

Before any non-essential tool, analytics or other tracking is introduced, this notice must be updated and a valid user choice collected where required.

Updates

This notice must be updated whenever the controller, contacts, providers, purposes, lawful bases, retention periods or tracking technologies change. Last organisational review: 4 August 2026.
