Biharia no. 67-77, building B, ground floor, registered with the Trade Register under no. J40/3140/97, sole registration code RO 9398288 (“Ascendis”), is the controller of the personal data collected through this Site (https://ronkaufman.ro, the “Site”).

Ascendis processes personal data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the General Data Protection Regulation, “GDPR”) and Romanian Law no. 190/2018 on measures implementing the GDPR.

2. What data we collect and why

Ascendis processes personal data submitted through the Site for the following purposes and on the following legal bases:

  • To respond to enquiries and provide information about Ascendis’ services — legal basis: your request / steps taken at your request prior to a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
  • To sell tickets and administer bookings, cancellations, and refunds — legal basis: performance of a contract with you (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
  • For basic site security, fraud prevention, and aggregate/statistical analysis of how the Site is used — legal basis: Ascendis’ legitimate interest in operating a secure and functioning website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
  • To send marketing communications (newsletters, event promotions, and similar) — legal basis: your freely given, specific consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you may withdraw at any time as described below.

Marketing consent is requested separately from, and is not a condition of, using the Site or purchasing a ticket.

3. How long we keep your data

Ascendis keeps personal data for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in Section 2, and — for marketing communications — until you ask for it to be deleted or withdraw your consent. Where data has not been used for an extended period, Ascendis reviews it periodically and deletes it when it is no longer needed. Ascendis may retain data for a longer period only where required to comply with a legal obligation or to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim.

4. Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

  • be informed about how your data is processed;
  • access the personal data Ascendis holds about you;
  • request rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data;
  • request erasure of your data (“right to be forgotten”), where applicable;
  • request restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
  • receive your data in a portable format, where applicable;
  • object to processing based on legitimate interest, including for direct marketing;
  • withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal;
  • not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal or similarly significant effects; and
  • lodge a complaint with the Romanian supervisory authority, ANSPDCP (Autoritatea Națională de Supraveghere a Prelucrării Datelor cu Caracter Personal – www.dataprotection.ro), or with the supervisory authority of your own EU member state.

You can exercise these rights by writing to Ascendis at the postal address above, or by emailing office@ascendis.ro. Ascendis will respond within the timeframes required by the GDPR.

5. Cookies and IP address

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies, including third-party analytics tools (such as Google and Facebook) that automatically record certain technical data, such as your IP address, for session recognition and geographic/usage analytics. Ascendis does not itself store IP addresses locally. Full details of the cookies used, their purpose, and how to accept, customise, or refuse them are set out in our Cookie Policy; non-essential cookies are only set with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

6. Sharing and international transfers of data

Ascendis may share personal data with affiliates and service providers (e.g. IT, payment, and analytics providers) strictly as needed to carry out the purposes above, under confidentiality and data-processing commitments. Personal data may also be disclosed to public authorities (such as the Prosecutor’s Office, the Police, or the courts) where required by law. Any transfer outside the European Economic Area is made subject to an appropriate safeguard recognised under the GDPR (such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses).

7. Communications you send us

Any personal data you transmit on the Site by electronic mail or by any other means is used in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Any other message you send through the Site — questions, comments, suggestions, or similar — is treated as non-confidential and is not protected by intellectual property rights.

8. Changes to this policy

Ascendis may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated policy will be published on this page, with the date of the latest revision indicated at the top. We encourage you to review it periodically.
