Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Yikowe Dibolu ("we", "us", "the program"), operating the educational website yikowe-dibolu.info, collects and handles information belonging to visitors and participants. The program is based in Bucharest, Romania, and processes information in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (the "GDPR") and Romanian Law no. 190/2018 on measures implementing that regulation.

Throughout this policy we refer to Personal Data, meaning any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, such as a name, an email address, or a phone number.

What Information We Collect

When you use the contact form on this website, we collect the name, email address, subject line and message content you choose to provide. The form itself is configured to open your own email application rather than transmit data through a server, so the information is sent from your device directly to our inbox once you press send. We do not automatically collect payment information, national identification numbers, or health data through this website.

Separately, when you visit the site, your browser may store small text files known as cookies, described in detail in our Cookie Policy. Some of these cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function, while others are only placed if you give consent.

Why We Process Your Information

We process the information described above based on a Legal Basis, meaning a lawful ground recognized under the GDPR that permits processing. For contact form submissions, our basis is your consent, given by voluntarily completing and sending the form. For cookies beyond strictly necessary ones, the basis is also consent, collected through the cookie preference tool on this site.

How Long We Retain Information

Messages sent through the contact process are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and to maintain a reasonable record of correspondence, generally not exceeding twenty four months unless a longer period is required to comply with a legal obligation or to resolve an ongoing matter.

Where Your Information Is Stored

Information collected through this website is stored on infrastructure located within the European Union or in jurisdictions recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection. We do not knowingly transfer personal data outside these safeguards without appropriate contractual protections in place.

Who We Share Information With

We do not sell personal data. We may share limited information with service providers who support the operation of this website, such as email hosting or website hosting providers, acting under our instructions as processors. Any such party who determines the purposes and means of processing on their own behalf is referred to here as a Data Controller.

Your Rights Under the GDPR

As a Data Subject, you hold a number of rights regarding your personal data. These include the right to request access to the data we hold about you, the right to request correction of inaccurate data, the right to request erasure where applicable, the right to restrict or object to certain processing, and the right to data portability. You may also withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details at the end of this policy. You also retain the right to lodge a complaint with the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (Autoritatea Națională de Supraveghere a Prelucrării Datelor cu Caracter Personal, ANSPDCP), the supervisory authority responsible for data protection matters in Romania.

Children's Information

This website and program are directed at adult business owners and operators. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children, and the contact form is not intended for use by minors.

Changes To This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
