Privacy

We respect your data

In short: this website uses no cookies, does not track you and collects no data through forms.

Principles

Three things we don’t do

No cookies

We don’t place cookies in your browser. That’s why you won’t see a banner asking for your consent.

No tracking

We use no traffic analytics tools, show no ads and load no scripts from other companies.

No forms

We don’t ask for any data in return for using the site. You write to us only if you want to, through whichever channel you choose.

Who we are

Who is responsible for data

The data controller is Asociația „Phoenix Renaștem Vise”, a non-governmental organisation based in Bucharest. We are responsible for how we use the information that reaches us through this website.

For any question about your data, write to us at contact@asociatiaphoenix.ro.

What we collect

A website that doesn’t track you

There are no forms on this website. We don’t ask for your name, your email address or any other information in order for you to read it. You can browse every page without telling us who you are.

  • No cookies. The site stores no cookies in your browser, so there is nothing for you to accept or refuse.
  • No traffic analytics and no ads. We use no tools that count visitors or follow their movements, and we show no advertising.
  • Self-hosted fonts. The typefaces you see come from our own server, not from an external font service.
  • No external scripts. The only code running on the page is the site’s own, and it comes from the same server.

Server logs

The site is hosted by Hostinger. The hosting provider and its content delivery network (CDN) may temporarily keep technical data about visits – IP address, browser type, the page requested – for security and to keep the site running properly. We do not use this data to track you.

When you contact us

Your data, only to reply

If you call us, message us on WhatsApp or send us an email, we receive only your number or address and whatever you choose to tell us. We use this data solely to reply to you.

Phone

We see the number you are calling from. We use it only to talk to you or to call you back.

WhatsApp

The WhatsApp button on this site opens a service run by Meta. The conversation takes place there, under WhatsApp’s own privacy policy.

Email

Your message passes through your email provider before it reaches us. We use your address only to reply to you.

Legal basis and how long we keep data. We use the data in your messages on the basis of our legitimate interest in replying to you (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or, when we discuss volunteering or working together, to take steps before an agreement (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). We keep conversations only for as long as we need them to reply to you and close the discussion, then we delete them, unless the law requires us to keep them longer.

We don’t sell your data or pass it on to anyone else, unless the law requires us to. If you would like us to delete our conversation, just let us know.

Photos

Blurred faces, no metadata

We publish photos of our activities on this site. The faces of the children, and of the people who took part in the protest of 3 November 2015, are blurred so that they cannot be recognised.

We have also stripped the EXIF metadata from the photos – the information hidden inside the file, such as where and when the picture was taken or which camera was used.

Do you recognise yourself in a photo and would you like it taken off the site? You can ask us to remove it by emailing contact@asociatiaphoenix.ro.

Other websites

External links

Some pages contain links to other websites:

  • barodrom.ro, the website of the Baro Drom project;
  • the pages of ANAF, the Romanian tax authority, about Form 230, the Romanian tax form for redirecting part of your income tax;
  • European Union websites and the web.archive.org archive, which hold the reports listed on our Social studies page;
  • the website of ANSPDCP, the Romanian data protection authority.

When you open one of these links, you leave our website. Each of these sites has its own privacy policy, which is worth reading.

Your rights

What you can ask of us

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives you a number of rights over your data. You can exercise them at any time, simply by sending us an email.

  • Access – to find out what data we hold about you.
  • Rectification – to have inaccurate data corrected.
  • Erasure – to ask us to delete your data.
  • Restriction – to limit how we use it.
  • Objection – to object to its processing.
  • Portability – to receive it in a format you can use elsewhere.

To exercise any of these rights, write to us at contact@asociatiaphoenix.ro.

If you believe your data has not been handled properly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with Romania’s National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (ANSPDCP).
