Privacy policy

This page explains what personal data we collect through the verdava.ro website, why we collect it, how long we keep it and what rights you have over it. It is written briefly and without unnecessary legal language.

The Romanian version of this policy is the reference version; this translation is provided for information.

Who processes the data

The controller is COOPERATIVA ENERGETICĂ VERDAVA SOCIETATE COOPERATIVĂ, with its registered office in Sat Bradu, Comuna Bradu, Str. Buna Vestire nr. 7, Argeș County, Romania, tax identification number (CUI) 52354620, registered in the Trade Register under no. C2025000075008.

You can write to us at any time at office@verdava.ro, including for any question about your data or to exercise the rights below.

What data we collect through the contact form

When you send the form on the Contact page, we collect your name, email address, the subject and the content of your message. The server also records the IP address from which the message was sent and the time it was sent, as a security measure against abuse.

We do not ask for any other data and we do not collect sensitive data. Please do not include in your message information you do not want to share with us.

Why we process them and on what legal basis

We use this data for one purpose only: to read your message and reply to you.

When the message concerns joining the cooperative or a service we could provide to you, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (steps taken at your request before entering into a contract). For other correspondence, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) (our legitimate interest in replying to people who write to us). For recording the IP address, the legal basis is also legitimate interest, in this case the security of the website.

We do not ask for your consent simply to reply to you, because it is not necessary. If we ever introduce a newsletter, it will have a separate tick box, which you choose to tick and can withdraw at any time.

Who has access to them

The message is saved in the website database and a copy is sent to the internal address webform@verdava.ro. It is read only by the people in the cooperative who handle correspondence.

The website and the database are hosted by Romarg SRL, our hosting provider, which acts as a processor and has technical access to the infrastructure where the data are stored. We do not sell, rent or pass on your data to anyone else, except where a public authority requires us to do so by law.

How long we keep them

We keep messages received through the form for 12 months from the last exchange on that subject, and then delete them from the database. If the correspondence leads to a collaboration, the related documents are kept separately, for the duration and under the terms of that collaboration.

Transfer outside the European Union

We do not transfer data outside the European Union and the European Economic Area. The servers hosting the website are located in Romania.

Cookies and tracking

The verdava.ro website does not use analytics, advertising or profiling cookies and has no visitor tracking tools installed.

Your rights

You have the right to ask us for access to the data we hold about you, to have it corrected if it is wrong, to have it erased, to restrict processing, to data portability, and the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest. To exercise any of these rights, write to us at office@verdava.ro. We reply within one month of receiving your request.

If you are not satisfied with our reply, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Romanian National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (Autoritatea Națională de Supraveghere a Prelucrării Datelor cu Caracter Personal), B-dul General Gheorghe Magheru nr. 28-30, Sector 1, Bucharest, www.dataprotection.ro.

Changes to this policy

If we change the way we process data, we update this page as well. The version in force is the one published here.
