Privacy Policy

Who are we?

The address of the website is: https://bioflora-apuseni.ro.

We’re S.C. BIOFLORA APUSENI S.R.L. (hereinafter referred to as “bioflora-apuseni.ro”, “BIOFLORA APUSENI or “we”), a Romanian company based in str. Cimitirului, nr. 21, com. Sâncel, jud. Alba, unique registration code RO27659357, no. registration with the Trade Register J01/31/2018.

The content below is very important and needs to be taken to understand why we need certain personal data to be able to provide certain products or services. We are trying to provide an easy understanding of existing European legislation, as well as its link with bioflora-apuseni.ro, or in interacting with the online environment in general.

Since we ask you to provide us with information about you, it becomes mandatory for us to tell you how we use this data, what rights you have in connection with it, how we process it, and especially what rights you have to understand and control this volume of personal data.

It’s not a gratuitous statement. And neither covered. We really take your legislation and especially your rights seriously. You chose to give us the data, which means it’s our duty to keep it, to secure it, to use it only in your interest, relative to the relationship with our website. Meaning that if you want to change or delete them from the bioflora-apuseni.ro, you can do this very simply. You can convince yourself that we really care about you and what you’re sending us.

We begin by declaring the content of this page as transparent as possible on the concepts, ideas, actions and obligations of both parties, as well as many other things to help you understand how certain things happen and how you can tell us what you would like to improve.

What is personal data?

“Personal data”, according to the GDPR, means any information concerning an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’). An identifiable natural person is a person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identification element, such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more specific elements specific to his physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.

The GDPR does not oblige a list of personal data to be made because one date may be in a given personal context and in another context – simply information with no personal data value.

Here are some examples of personal data:

  • the name;
  • the domicile or residence of someone;
  • an email address (including prenume.nume@firma.ro addresses);
  • ID number, passport or iD card;
  • location data (e.g. location data function available on a mobile phone)*;
  • an IP;
  • a cookie ID;
  • silhouette of someone in the CCTV recordings;
  • a car registration number;

For example, let’s look at cases where information can be a personal date or not: let’s say that a person finds an envelope that says “Lăpușneanu”, without any other information, then that information is impossible to relate to a particular person. If, however, someone finds an envelope that says “Popescu” and “str. Ciresarii nr. 32”, then someone, if they were to search and manage to piece together information (including by searching for localities that have addresses containing str. Ciresarii and No. 32, then through discussions with block or street administrators), could reach a list of identifiable persons with the name or surname Popescu living at this address. Thus, the information becomes personal because it relates to an identifiable person.

As you can see, the definition of personal data also contains several important elements:

  1. Personal data relates to information on natural persons, not legal persons. The distinction is important because, for example, the registration number of the Trade Register, the Tax Code or other identification elements of some companies are not personal data. Moreover, when an email address or phone number clearly targets a legal person (e.g. emails office@ or phones from a company’s public call center), then we are not talking about personal data.
  2. It does not matter whether the processing of such personal data is done by means of an automatic system or by means of a non-automated system (e.g. manual processing), whether it is part of a structured data-recording system. The only important thing is that we’re talking about processing such a type of data.

More information for understanding what personal data is can be obtained by reading Opinion No. 4 of 2007 on the concept of personal data, issued by the Article 29 Working Group.

By simplifying the above definition, we could conclude that personal data means data that refers to a living person that can be identified:

  1. using this data; Or
  2. data and using additional information that is or may be in the possession of the data controller.
