Privacy policy

This privacy policy explains how CLIMENTE ALIN IONEL PFA (“Softgata”, “we”, “us”) handles personal data in connection with softgata.com or softgata.ro.

We keep this simple because the site itself does not collect much data: it is a static website with no accounts, contact forms, analytics, advertising, tracking cookies, or browser storage.

Who is responsible for your data

What data we process

When you visit the website

The website does not use analytics, advertising pixels, fingerprinting, tracking cookies, or similar technologies.

However, delivering a website requires the hosting and network providers involved in serving it to process technical connection information. This may include your IP address, request time, requested URL, referring page, and browser or device information.

We do not use this information to identify you, build a profile about you, or track you across websites.

When you contact us

The website provides an email link rather than a contact form. If you email us, we receive the information you choose to include in your message, such as your name, email address, and the contents of your enquiry.

We may use this information to respond to you, discuss a potential project, and prepare a proposal.

When you book a call

The website links to Calendly for scheduling calls. If you use that service, Calendly will process the information you provide there in accordance with its own privacy policy.

We receive the information necessary to arrange and conduct the call.

Why we use your data

We use personal data only where necessary to:

• operate and secure the website;
• respond to enquiries;
• discuss and arrange potential work;
• provide services where we have entered into an agreement;
• comply with legal, accounting, and tax obligations.

The applicable legal basis depends on the situation and may include taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, performing a contract, complying with a legal obligation, or our legitimate interests in operating a secure website and business.

We do not sell your personal data or use it for advertising or profiling.

Third-party services

The website uses third-party services for hosting, email, and scheduling.

These providers may process personal data as necessary to provide their services. Their own privacy policies and terms also apply to processing carried out directly by them.

The website currently links to Calendly for scheduling calls.

How long we keep information

We keep information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Enquiries that do not result in a business relationship may be deleted when they are no longer needed.

Information relating to clients, contracts, invoices, and other business records may need to be kept for longer periods where required by Romanian accounting, tax, or other applicable laws.

Technical connection data may be retained by the relevant hosting or network provider according to that provider’s own retention practices.

International transfers

Some providers we use may process personal data outside the European Economic Area. Where this happens, the provider is responsible for applying an appropriate legal mechanism for the transfer where required by applicable data protection law.

You can contact us if you want more information about the providers involved in a particular interaction.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, GDPR gives you rights including the right to:

• access your personal data;
• correct inaccurate data;
• request deletion;
• request restriction of processing;
• object to certain processing;
• receive certain data in a portable format; and
• complain to a data protection authority.

To exercise your rights, contact us at contact@softgata.com.

You also have the right to complain to the Romanian data protection authority, the Autoritatea Națională de Supraveghere a Prelucrării Datelor cu Caracter Personal (ANSPDCP), if you believe your data protection rights have been violated.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data under our control. The website is served over HTTPS.

No internet service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Cookies

Softgata does not use cookies, analytics, advertising trackers, or browser storage on this website.

Third-party services that you choose to use, such as Calendly, may use their own technologies when you leave our website and use their services.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the way we process personal data changes. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.
