Privacy & cookies

What data we take, why, who gets it and how long we keep it. Cookies are at the end.

Last updated: 23 September 2026

1. Who we are

The controller of your data is GGAFFAIRS S.R.L. (VAT ID RO52994476, Trade Reg. J2025091976005), Str. Mioriței, Nr. 59, Ap. 1, Târgu Mureș, Mureș County, Romania. For anything about your data: ggaffairsro@gmail.com or 0721 805 840.

2. What data, why, on what basis

Purpose Data Legal basis (GDPR art. 6(1))
Placing and delivering the order, order status messages (email/SMS) name, email, phone, delivery address, products ordered Contract (b)
Invoices and accounting records name, address, email, order details Legal obligation (c)
Card payment card data goes straight to Stripe, never to us Contract (b)
Answering questions and complaints what you write to us, contact details Legitimate interest (f)
Proof of your cookie choice and of withdrawal requests date, choice/request, IP address, browser Legal obligation (c) — we must be able to prove them
Fraud prevention and order checks (section 3) IP address, device/browser, order history Legitimate interest (f)
One SMS or call after delivery asking for a review (section 3) name, phone, order Legitimate interest (f); art. 12(2) Law 506/2004 — existing customers
Running the site, picking the language IP address, browser type (collected automatically); the IP is checked locally for the language and does not leave our server Legitimate interest (f)
Usage statistics (Google Analytics 4) and ad measurement (Google Ads) pseudonymous ID, pages viewed, cart/order events Consent (a) — only if you accept, see Cookies

Contact and delivery data are required to conclude the contract; without them we cannot deliver the order. We do not sell and do not rent your data to anyone.

3. Fraud check and review request

Fraud risk score. Each order gets an automatic risk score (IP address, device/browser, order history). The score never rejects an order on its own — a person looks at it and, if needed, calls you. We take no automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on you.

Review request. After delivery we may send one SMS or make one call asking you to review the product. You can object free of charge at any time: reply STOP to the SMS or email us.

You can object to both (right to object, art. 21 GDPR) by writing to the address in section 1.

4. Who receives the data

  • Delivery: EuroParcel (waybill platform) and couriers Sameday, FAN Courier, DPD — name, address, phone. For the Walking Pad only: our logistics partner in Germany that ships the parcel.
  • Payments: Stripe (card payments) — Stripe policy.
  • Invoices: Oblio.eu — name, address, email.
  • SMS: Newsman — order SMS and the review request.
  • Google: Gmail (the mailbox where orders and messages arrive); Google Fonts (the site font loads from Google servers, which see your IP address); Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads (only with your consent).
  • Hosting: Datahost.ro — servers in Romania.
  • Public authorities (ANAF etc.), when the law requires it.

5. Transfers outside the EEA

Google LLC and Stripe Inc. may transfer data to the USA. Both are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (European Commission adequacy decision); Standard Contractual Clauses apply additionally where needed. You can ask us for a copy of these safeguards by email.

6. How long we keep it

  • Orders and invoices: 5 years (tax law), together with the anti-fraud data attached to the order (IP address, device).
  • Proof of cookie choices and withdrawal requests (date, IP address, browser): as long as needed to prove the consent or the request.
  • Cookies and browser storage: the durations in the cookie table (Google Analytics up to 2 years, only with consent).

7. Your rights

You can ask us for: access to your data (a copy), rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, portability (a structured format). You can object at any time to processing based on legitimate interest (the anti-fraud check, the review request) and to direct marketing, and you can withdraw consent at any time, without affecting what was done before. Write to ggaffairsro@gmail.com.

If you think your rights were breached, you can complain to the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (ANSPDCP): www.dataprotection.ro, anspdcp@dataprotection.ro, B-dul G-ral. Gheorghe Magheru 28-30, Sector 1, Bucharest.

8. Security

HTTPS everywhere, access to data restricted to the people who need it, periodic backups. Card data never reaches our servers.

9. Changes

We update this page when something changes; the date at the top shows the last update.

10. Cookies

Cookies are small files the browser stores for a site. We also use localStorage (kept until deleted) and sessionStorage (deleted when you close the tab). Here is everything, by category:

Name Type Purpose Duration
Strictly necessary — always on, no consent needed
gritual_cart_v2 localStorage Products in your cart Until you empty the cart or place the order
lang cookie Chosen language (RO/EN) 1 year
gritual_cookie_consent localStorage Your cookie choice 12 months
grt_checkout_v3 sessionStorage Checkout form not yet sent, restored if you reload the page Tab session
grt_purchase sessionStorage Order summary carried to the confirmation page; reaches Google only if you accepted analytics or advertising Tab session
Analytics — only with consent
_ga cookie · Google Analytics Distinguishing visitors (pseudonymous ID) 2 years
_ga_* cookie · Google Analytics Session state 2 years
Advertising — only with consent
_gcl_au cookie · Google Ads Conversion measurement (no personalised ads) 3 months
grt_conv_* sessionStorage Counts an order's conversion only once Tab session

How consent works

  • Nothing non-essential loads before you choose: the Google script is not even requested until you accept something.
  • The banner has “Accept all”, “Reject all” and “Settings” (analytics and advertising separately). Rejecting is as easy as accepting, and the site works the same either way.
  • Your choice is stored in your browser for 12 months, then we ask again. We also ask again if the banner text changes. As proof, we log the choice with the date, IP address and browser.
  • You can change or withdraw consent at any time; the Google cookies for a withdrawn purpose are deleted. You can also clear cookies for gritual.ro from your browser settings (blocking the necessary ones breaks the cart).

Third parties

Google LLC (Analytics 4, Ads) under the Google Privacy Policy; transfers to the USA as in section 5. You can also block Analytics with the Google Analytics Opt-out extension. Stripe may set its own cookies, needed for transaction security, on its card payment page (Stripe policy).

Legal framework: Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy), Law no. 506/2004.
