firstly if you dont have access to the privkeys, then you dont have control.
secondly from reading the email literally. it is talking about the bip141/148 split (which has not occured).
imagine it this way
group1 want segwit via november to november miner consensus
group2 want segwit via a august first mandatory change
group3 want segwit via a july to august miner consensus
group4 want an altcoin branded bch that begins in august
the email is talking about 1.2.3... and the possible issues concerning 123 that might (but didnt) cause a split.
the group4 got a altcoin but cex never promised anything related to group4, nor mentioned anything related to BCH.
BCH is an entirely different and separate piece of drama and event that just so happen to occur on the same proposed date.
the email does not mention anything about giving access to BCH
seems cex intentionally remained subtle about what they would protect/accept to make people unaware of what cex was actually proposing to honour.
not illegal but immoral by not being clear about all possible eventualities
lesson to learn stop trusting third parties

If you don't control your private keys, then you don't own your coins.
How many times do people need to have this mantra recited ?
Maybe Cex.io is enjoying your BCH and you get to just be their BitCH ?

I dont think they are not going to give our BCH....
That will make Cex.io be the worst exchange ever...

cex is a bad site, got scammed before. Go to gemini.

They plan to support BCC/BCH earlier, encouraging users to deposit before the split. Now the split has taken place but nothing has happen on their site.
this is the email they sent earlier:
