Privacy Policy

In accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation – hereinafter GDPR), the Organizer is obliged to process, in a secure manner and only for the specific purposes listed below, the personal data collected via the online platform https://fixcluj.eu.

​

The Regulation is directly applicable in all EU member states, protecting the rights of all natural persons within the EU. In material terms, the Regulation applies to all controllers processing personal data. It does not apply to data processing that concerns legal persons, particularly companies with legal personality, including their name, type, and contact details.

​

Personal data is defined as any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, particularly by reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, online identifier, or one or more factors specific to their physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity.

​

Processing of personal data refers to any operation or set of operations performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means—such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure, dissemination, alignment, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

In accordance with Article 4(7) of the Regulation, which defines a “controller” as the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, the Data Controller for this website is:
