Introduction

RomaniaMagazine (“we”, “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy and managing your personal data carefully. This policy describes what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and your rights when using our services.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide voluntarily—for example name, email address, messages or submissions when you contact us or contribute content. We also collect automatically generated data such as IP address, device type, browser information, pages visited, session duration, referring URLs, click behaviour. Cookies or similar technologies are used to assist data collection and preferences.

How We Use Your Information

Information you provide helps us respond to your inquiries, manage contributions, deliver updates or newsletter (if opted in), moderate content, and improve our services. Automatically collected data helps us analyze site usage, improve user experience, diagnose technical issues, detect misuse, and guide editorial planning.

Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tools for essential site functions, remembering preferences, analytics, and optionally personalization. Some cookies are necessary for basic site operations; others support analytics or content recommendation. You may disable non-essential cookies via browser settings, though that may limit functionality.

Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell your personal data. Trusted third parties (hosting, email delivery, analytics, ad services) may have access to certain data under confidentiality agreements and only for the services they provide. We may also disclose information when required by law, to enforce our rights, protect users, or respond to legal process.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and administrative safeguards to protect your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Data is transmitted over secure protocols (HTTPS). Access is limited to those who need it. Regular audits or reviews help us stay secure. Though no system is perfect, we aim for high protection.

Data Retention

We keep personal data only long enough for the reasons it was collected or to meet legal obligations. Once not needed, we delete or anonymize data. Usage or analytics data (non-personal) may be stored longer in aggregated or anonymized form to help with trends and content improvement.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, update, or delete your personal data. You may withdraw consent (especially for marketing or newsletter). You may object to certain data processing or request limitation. To exercise your rights, contact us at privacy@romaniamagazine.com.

Children’s Privacy

Our services are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we discover such data was collected without parental consent, we will take steps to delete it.

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. When changes are made, we will post the revised policy with effective date. Continued use after changes indicates your acceptance.
