Privacy Policy

How we handle your personal data, what we keep, what we never collect — and how to ask us to delete it.

Last updated: April 2025

1. Who we are

Fidelis Crypto Media SRL ("Fidelis Crypto", "we", "us") is a Romanian publishing company registered at Calea Victoriei 155, Bucharest 010073, Romania. Our registration number is 47829163 and our VAT number is RO38291045. We act as the data controller for the personal data described in this policy.

2. What data we collect

We collect the minimum data needed to run an editorial site:

  • Contact data — name, email, phone (only if you provide it) when you submit our contact form or subscribe to the newsletter.
  • Reader analytics — anonymised page views, referral source, browser type and approximate country. We do not store IP addresses beyond 30 days.
  • Cookies — only essential cookies by default. Analytics cookies require your explicit consent via the cookie banner.
  • Correspondence — the content of any email, contact form or tip you send us, retained for editorial purposes.

3. Why we collect it

Under GDPR Article 6, our lawful bases are:

  • Consent — for newsletter subscriptions and non-essential cookies.
  • Legitimate interest — to operate the site, prevent abuse and reply to your messages.
  • Legal obligation — to respond to lawful requests from EU regulators.

4. Who we share it with

We share data only with vetted EU processors required to run our site: our email infrastructure provider, our hosting provider and our analytics tool (privacy-preserving, configured to anonymise IPs). We never sell reader data and we never share it with advertisers.

5. How long we keep it

Newsletter data is retained until you unsubscribe, after which it is deleted within 30 days. Editorial correspondence is retained for two years for verification purposes. Aggregated, anonymised analytics may be retained indefinitely.

6. Your rights

Under GDPR you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction or deletion ("right to be forgotten").
  • Object to or restrict our processing.
  • Receive your data in a portable format.
  • Withdraw consent at any time.
  • Lodge a complaint with the Romanian Data Protection Authority (ANSPDCP).

To exercise any of these rights, email hello@rofidelis.live. We aim to respond within 14 days.

7. Cookies

The cookie banner you see on first visit lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. Essential cookies — those required for the site to work — are always set. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any third-party advertising trackers.

8. International transfers

All data is processed in the EU. The few processors we use are EU-based or, where transfers outside the EU occur, covered by Standard Contractual Clauses.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy occasionally. Material changes will be announced on the homepage at least 14 days before they take effect. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page is always authoritative.
