Privacy policy
Transylvanian Gems is primarily an informational website. We only ask you to provide personal information when you choose to contact us or send a tour enquiry.
1. Who we are
Transylvanian Gems is operated by Asociația Sportivă Echitație Călata.
For questions about privacy or the use of your personal information, contact us at hello@transylvaniangems.ro .
2. Information we collect
We do not require visitors to create an account and we do not collect payment information through this website.
When you choose to submit an enquiry, we may collect information such as your name, email address, country, preferred travel dates, group details, riding experience and any other information you include in your message.
Please only provide information that is relevant to your enquiry.
3. How we use your information
Information submitted through the enquiry form is used only to respond to your enquiry, discuss your travel requirements, assess the suitability of a riding programme and, where appropriate, prepare a tour proposal.
We do not sell your personal information or use enquiry details for advertising or unrelated marketing.
4. Legal basis for processing
When you contact us about a possible tour, we process the information you provide in order to respond to your request and, where applicable, to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
We may also process limited information where necessary for the legitimate administration and security of the website and our correspondence.
5. Website hosting and service providers
This website uses a third-party hosting and form-processing provider. Information submitted through the enquiry form is processed and stored by this provider on our behalf so that we can receive and respond to your enquiry.
Enquiry notifications and subsequent correspondence may also be processed by our email service provider.
Our hosting provider may process limited technical information required to operate and secure the website, such as IP address and browser or device information.
6. Cookies and analytics
We do not currently use advertising trackers or third-party analytics tools to profile visitors to this website.
If this changes in the future, this privacy policy will be updated and, where required, visitors will be asked for consent.
7. How long we keep your information
Enquiries that do not result in a booking are normally retained for up to 12 months after our last correspondence and are then deleted when no longer required.
If an enquiry leads to a confirmed booking, relevant information may be kept for longer where required for providing the tour, maintaining business records or meeting legal and accounting obligations.
8. International data transfers
Some of the service providers we use may process information outside the European Economic Area. Where required, appropriate safeguards are used for international transfers of personal data in accordance with applicable data-protection law.
9. Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to request access to your personal information, correct inaccurate information, request deletion or restriction of processing, object to certain processing, or request data portability.
To exercise any of these rights, contact hello@transylvaniangems.ro .
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Romanian National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (ANSPDCP) if you believe your personal information has been processed unlawfully.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy if the website, our services or the way we process personal information changes.
