Generally, only our entity’s authorized personnel may be aware of the information we request.

Similarly, the entities that need access to it so that we can provide our services may receive your personal information. Thus, for example, our bank will process your data if payments for our services are made by card or bank transfer.

Likewise, the public or private entities to which we are obliged to provide your personal data due to lawful compliance will be able to process your information. For example, the General Tax Law requires you to provide certain information to the Revenue Agency in case of payments exceeding certain amounts.

If, regardless of the aforementioned instances, we need to disclose your personal information to other entities, we will seek your prior permission through clear options that will allow you to make informed decisions.

There are countries in the world that are safe for your data and others that are not. Thus, for example, the European Union represents a secure environment for your data. Our policy forbids the sending of your personal information to any country that is not secure in terms of data protection.

If, for the purpose of providing our services, it is essential that we send your data to a country which is not as secure as Romania in terms of data protection, we will always ask for your permission in advance; moreover, we will apply efficient security measures that reduce the risk of information transmission to other countries.

You can contact us at any time to find out the personal information we process, to rectify it in case of inaccuracies and dispose of it once our agreement has ended, in accordance with legal regulations.

You also have the right to request the transfer of your information to another entity. This right is called "data portability" and can prove useful in particular situations.

To claim any of these rights, you must initiate a written request to us, along with a photocopy of your ID.

We offer specific forms aimed at soliciting these rights and we offer you our assistance in filling them out.

Our policy does not involve user profiling.

However, there may be situations where we need to create user profiles for the purpose of providing certain services to our clients. A relevant example might be the use of your purchase or service history to provide you with products or services tailored to your specific tastes and needs.

In this case, we will employ efficient security measures that keep your information secure at all times and safe from unauthorized persons who might intend to use it for their benefit.
