2. Scope, Purpose and Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data
We collect and use personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and to deliver our content and services. As a rule, personal data is collected and used only with the user’s consent. Exceptions apply where prior consent is not practically obtainable and where processing is permitted by law.
2.1 Server Log Files
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the requesting device. The following technical information is collected:

- IP address in anonymised form
- Date and time of access
- Website from which the user’s system accessed our website
- Pages accessed via our website
This data is stored in server log files. IP addresses or other data enabling personal identification are not stored alongside other personal data. We process this technical information for the purpose of network security, to ensure the stability and technical operation of our website, and to optimise our online presence. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in the secure and efficient operation of our website.

Personal data collected in the course of making contact is used exclusively for the purpose of processing the inquiry. It is not passed on to third parties. Data is deleted as soon as the purpose of storage has been fulfilled and no statutory retention requirements apply.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to business inquiries).
2.3 Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymised information about how visitors use our website. The information generated is transmitted to and stored on Google servers.
We have enabled IP anonymisation on this website. Your IP address is truncated by Google within the European Union before transmission to Google servers. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there.
Google uses this information to evaluate the use of our website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law, or where third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
For more information about how Google uses data, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in understanding website usage in order to improve our content and services.
2.4 Social Media
Our website may include links or plugins for social media platforms including LinkedIn. When you interact with these elements, data may be transmitted to the relevant platform. We use these integrations based on our legitimate interest in marketing and professional networking under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
3. Legal Bases for Processing Personal Data
Where we obtain consent from the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR applies.
Where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR applies.
Where processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests — provided these are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights of the data subject — Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR applies. Our legitimate interests include:
- Protecting our company from material or reputational damage
- Improving our services and website
- Responding to business inquiries
We also process personal data to comply with commercial and tax law retention requirements.
4. Data Retention and Erasure
Personal data is erased or restricted as soon as the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. Data may be retained for the period during which claims against our company can be asserted under applicable statutes of limitation. Data subject to statutory commercial or tax retention periods is retained for the duration required by law (typically 5 to 10 years under Romanian and EU legislation) and then deleted.
5. Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR)
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. We will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
To exercise this right, please contact us at: office@suranrecycling.com
