Privacy and cookies
1. Who is responsible for your data
goout.ro is a non-commercial website run by an individual based in Bucharest, Romania, who is the controller of the personal data described in this notice. Requests concerning your personal data, and all legal correspondence, can be sent to contact@goout.ro.
2. What we collect and why
- No accounts, no tracking, no ads, and no cookies of our own.
- Reviews. We email you a code to confirm a real person wrote the review. We do not store your email address with your review, only a fingerprint made from it that cannot be turned back into the address; it lets you write one review per platform and change or delete it later. The fingerprint can still count as personal data. If you also tick the newsletter box, your address goes on the newsletter list (below), kept apart from your review. We publish your answers (whether you recommend it, how many times you went, and any optional answers) and your text, signed "A visitor". Kept as long as the review is on the site. If you delete your review, it is deleted at once, with its fingerprint and history. A review we decline or remove is deleted 12 months after that decision. Legal basis: your consent, given with the box on the form. You can withdraw it at any time by deleting your review; this does not affect what was published before.
- Protection against abuse. The code is kept scrambled for one hour at most. Daily limits on codes and reports are counted for two days, as fingerprints only. The bot check is Cloudflare Turnstile; it is used only to stop bots and spam, and no decision about you is made automatically. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in protecting the site.
- Reports about a review keep only the reason and the optional note, never who sent them. Deleted 12 months after they are settled.
- Emails to contact@goout.ro, including our own notices about new reviews, are kept up to 12 months, to answer you and to check reviews. Proof of attendance you send us is deleted once we have checked it.
- Visiting the site: our hosting provider handles technical data (IP address, browser, security signals) to deliver and protect the site. We keep no request logs of our own. The review database has automatic restore points, kept for up to 30 days.
3. Who receives your data
Cloudflare, Inc. runs the site for us: hosting, the review database and the newsletter list (kept in the European Union), sending the code and confirmation emails, and the bot check. The newsletter is sent by MailerLite Limited (Dublin, Ireland), which keeps its copy of the list in the European Union. For the bot check, Cloudflare also uses the signals to improve its own bot detection (Turnstile privacy addendum). Our mailbox is provided by Google (Gmail). Some processing by these providers may happen outside the European Economic Area, under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses. We do not sell your data or share it for advertising. Published reviews are public, signed "A visitor".
4. Cookies
We set no cookies of our own and use no analytics or advertising trackers. Fonts are served from our own domain. Cloudflare may use strictly necessary security checks, including the bot check on the review and newsletter forms; these do not need consent.
5. Your rights
You can ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction or a copy of your data, and object to processing based on legitimate interest. You can change or delete your review yourself with "Edit my review" on the platform's page, or write to contact@goout.ro from the address you used (we make a fingerprint of it the same way to find your review). You can leave the newsletter with the unsubscribe link in any of our emails. We answer within one month. You can also complain to the Romanian data protection authority, ANSPDCP (dataprotection.ro).
6. Changes
We will update this notice as the site develops. The date at the bottom shows the latest version.
