Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 11, 2026

We respect your privacy. This policy explains what data we process, for what purposes, and what rights you have, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).

1. Data controller

Your data is controlled by PierdutCheie Lăcătuș SRL.

  • Registered office: Str. Exemplu nr. 1, Sector 3, București
  • Tax ID (CUI): RO00000000
  • Email: contact@cheiauto.ro
  • Phone: +40 721 219 686

2. What data we collect

  • Contact and request data: your name, phone number, vehicle details (make, model, year) and the location you share, when you call, WhatsApp or email us.
  • Technical and usage data (only with your consent for statistics): pages viewed, device type (mobile/desktop), referral source, and an anonymous session identifier. We do not collect names, build profiles, or track you across other sites.

3. Purposes and legal bases

  • To respond to your request and provide the service — performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
  • For anonymous traffic statistics, to improve the site — your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time.
  • To meet legal obligations (e.g. accounting records, where an invoice is issued) — legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).
  • For site security and abuse prevention — our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

4. Who we share data with

We do not sell your data. We may share it only with providers who help us operate the service, as processors or independent controllers:

  • The website hosting/infrastructure provider.
  • WhatsApp / Meta, if you choose to contact us via WhatsApp (under their policy).
  • Google Maps, if you open the map or directions (under Google's policy).
  • Public authorities, where required by law.

5. International transfers

Some providers (e.g. Meta/WhatsApp, Google) may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where this happens, the transfer relies on GDPR safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

6. How long we keep data

  • Request data is kept for as long as needed to provide the service and for the warranty period; financial/accounting records for the legally required periods.
  • Statistics data is anonymous/aggregated and cannot identify you.

7. Your rights

  • The right to access, rectify and erase your data.
  • The right to restriction of processing and to data portability.
  • The right to object to processing and to withdraw consent at any time (e.g. via “Cookie settings”), without affecting prior processing.
  • The right to lodge a complaint with the Romanian Data Protection Authority (ANSPDCP, www.dataprotection.ro).

You can exercise your rights by emailing us at contact@cheiauto.ro.

8. Automated decisions and security

We do not make automated decisions with legal effect and we do not carry out profiling. We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data.

9. Cookies

Details about the local storage and statistics we use are in the Cookie Policy, where you can manage your consent at any time.
