To ensure compliance with users’ rights to personal data protection, we have implemented specific protective measures, taking into account Romanian legislation as well as the requirements set forth by Regulation (EU) 2017/679, which applies across the European Union from May 25, 2018 (“the Regulation”).
Personal data refers to any information that can identify you, especially through an identifying element such as a name, identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more elements related to your physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity.
Our company takes all necessary measures to ensure compliance with your right to personal data protection. The present conditions constitute the notification established by Articles 13 or 14 of the Regulation, through which we explain why we collect your personal data, how we protect these data, and what rights you have regarding the collection of these data.
We encourage you to carefully read this document and request any additional information or clarification you deem necessary regarding the contents of this notice.
In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/679, Qwise will manage your personal data securely and only for the purposes specified. Through the Terms and Conditions, users are informed that the personal data they provide will be processed to optimally deliver services via the internet, provide goods and services, conduct advertising, marketing, and public relations services, as well as statistical services.
Qwise performs the following processing operations: collecting, recording, organizing, storing, adapting, modifying, extracting, consulting, using, and, in some cases, transmitting to third parties, based exclusively and regulated by a commercial contract that ensures data security and confidentiality, as well as the respect for the rights of the user concerning personal data. These operations are intended to manage, maintain, improve, and obtain information regarding the services offered, as well as to prevent errors, data leaks through its own IT network, legal violations, or breaches of contractual terms.
Personal data that will be collected may also be used, including by automated profiling (for users who have explicitly given their consent), to personalize services offered through the website and for marketing purposes. Automated profiling will not target the data of minors, as their personal data will not be processed for this purpose.
Personal data will be provided by the users voluntarily when creating a valid account on the site or subscribing to a service available on the site in order to benefit from the services and products offered. Upon registration, the user is required to provide certain personal information such as name, gender, date of birth, email address, phone number, profession, habits/preferences/behavior, and other personal information.
The user is solely responsible for all the data provided when creating an account on the site. To confirm the data and account, the user will be notified at the email address provided during the account creation. This confirmation email is intended to prevent fraudulent actions by users using other people’s email addresses to create fictitious accounts. If you receive such an email and have not personally registered on the site, please send an email to info@qwise.ro to delete the account within three business days. The email will include, in PDF format, the current version of this contract.
The user’s profile form contains fields that can be edited if modification or completion of the data provided during account creation is desired.
The user is not obligated to provide these data, but they are necessary i) for site usage tracking and ii) for the optimal delivery of services through the site, for notifying promotional campaigns, for advertising, and for personalized marketing and additional services access. Refusing to provide the requested data means non-participation in promotional actions organized through the site and non-usage of facilities and additional services offered exclusively to users with an account on the website.
The website may also be used even if the user chooses not to create a profile by providing personal data, except for the exceptions established in the Cookies Policy (an integral part of this contract).
According to Regulation (EU) 2017/679 and Law no. 677/2001, users are entitled to the right of access, intervention on the data, the right not to be subject to individual decisions, and the right to seek judicial remedy. Additionally, users have the right to object to the processing of their personal data and to request its deletion.
To exercise these rights, users may submit a written request by email to info@qwise.ro specifying “Request for personal data.”
The website commits not to send spam (commercial messages for which the prior explicit consent of the user is not obtained) and to undertake all available technical means to ensure the security and confidentiality of user data.
The website reserves the right to terminate, without prior notice, the accounts and access of members who violate the Terms and Conditions, engage in fraud, defamation, or attacks on the security and confidentiality of information within the site or the company operating the site.
