Privacy Policy

Who are we?

The website www.apolodordent.ro is operated by Apolodor Dental Clinic, located in Bucharest, Sector 5. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with the legal regulations on personal data protection.

What personal data do we collect and why?

We collect and process your personal data only for legal, clearly defined purposes, and in compliance with European Union regulations (GDPR).

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the following data:

  • Name, email address, and the comment left by the user.
  • The visitor’s IP address and the user-agent string from the browser to help with spam detection.

Additionally, we use an anonymized hash of your email address to check if you use the Gravatar service. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available here. After the comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public next to your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the site.

Cookies

We use cookies to enhance user experience. If you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies, so you don’t have to fill them in again when leaving another comment. These cookies will be stored for one year.

If you have an account and log in to our site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set several cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies are stored for two days, while screen options cookies are stored for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login cookies will be kept for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not include personal data and simply indicates the article ID that you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Who do we share your data with?

We do not share your personal data with third parties, except when necessary to comply with legal obligations (e.g., tax authorities, government authorities). We may also share your data with service providers who help us improve our services (e.g., web hosting providers, digital marketing), but they are required to respect your privacy and process your data only for the purposes we have provided.

How long do we keep your data?

We retain your personal data for an indefinite period, for the purpose of improving our services and fulfilling legal requirements. For example:

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, it and its metadata will be retained indefinitely to automatically approve subsequent comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
  • User profile data: If you register on the site, we will store the personal information you provide in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete this information at any time, except for your username.

What rights do you have over your data?

  • Right of access: You can request a report of the personal data we hold about you.

  • Right to data portability: You can request that we send your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

Where do we send your data?

Visitor comments may be checked through an automatic spam detection service (e.g., Akismet). Additionally, your data may be transferred within our business for purposes of direct marketing, such as sending you personalized offers or information relevant to you.

Protection of Personal Data

We are committed to protecting your personal data and processing it responsibly. We implement technical and organizational security measures to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or destruction. Although we take all necessary steps to ensure the protection of your data, please note that no method of data transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
