Privacy Policy — StiriDinBucuresti

Last updated: April 2026

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how StiriDinBucuresti (https://stiri-din-bucuresti.ro) collects, uses and protects your personal data. We are committed to transparency and full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable data protection laws.

By using this website, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy. Please read it carefully before using our services.

Data We Collect

We collect minimal data, limited to what is necessary for the site to function and improve:

• Anonymous analytics data — pages visited, time on page, device type, country (not linked to identifiable individuals)
• Contact form data — your email address and message, when you reach out to us
• Comment data — a display name and email address if you submit a comment (not published automatically; subject to moderation)

We do not collect financial data, identity documents or any sensitive personal information.

Analytics — Umami

We use Umami Analytics, an open-source, privacy-first analytics solution hosted on our own server. Umami does not use tracking cookies, does not share data with third parties, and is GDPR-compliant by design.

The data collected by Umami is fully anonymous and used solely for statistical purposes — to understand which content is useful and to improve the user experience on this site.

Cookies

StiriDinBucuresti does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies or any third-party analytics cookies. The only data stored locally in your browser includes:

• Session security tokens (CSRF protection)
• Cloudflare Turnstile tokens (anti-spam protection for forms)

These technical tokens are strictly necessary for security and do not allow personal identification.

Form Protection

All forms on StiriDinBucuresti are protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, a privacy-respecting alternative to traditional CAPTCHA. Turnstile processes minimal technical data to verify human interaction, in accordance with Cloudflare's own privacy policy.

Your GDPR Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access — request a copy of the data we hold about you
• Right to rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
• Right to erasure — request deletion of your data under applicable conditions
• Right to data portability — request your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Right to object — object to processing of your data in certain circumstances

To exercise any of these rights, contact us through our Contact page. We respond within 30 days.

Data Security

We protect user data through appropriate technical measures: HTTPS with valid SSL certificates, Cloudflare security layer, regular software updates, and restricted access to personal data. No system is completely impenetrable, but we take security seriously and review our measures regularly.

No Data Selling

StiriDinBucuresti does not sell, rent or transfer personal data to third parties for commercial purposes. We do not run email marketing campaigns without explicit consent. We do not share data with advertising networks or data brokers.

Policy Updates

We may update this policy periodically. Material changes will be announced on the site. The current version is always available at https://stiri-din-bucuresti.ro/privacy. Continued use of the site following any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
