Privacy
This policy explains what personal data is handled when you visit this website or contact Adrian Popescu about a handmade piece.
The website is operated for Adrian Popescu, a Romanian artisan creating handmade knives, leather goods, accessories, and hunting trophies. Adrian Popescu is the controller for inquiries received through this website, phone, and WhatsApp.
The website is a static Astro site. It does not provide user accounts, checkout, online payments, or a customer dashboard.
If you only browse the site, the site may process technical information needed to serve pages, such as IP address, browser details, device data, referrer, date, and time. The hosting provider may keep security and access logs for reliability and abuse prevention.
If you choose to contact Adrian by phone or WhatsApp, the personal data processed is the information you decide to provide, such as your name, phone number, WhatsApp profile details, message content, product interest, order details, delivery context, or other information needed to answer the inquiry.
If you click links to WhatsApp, Facebook, Google, or another third-party service, that service may receive information about your visit and handle it under its own privacy policy.
The data is used for the following purposes:
The legal bases are legitimate interest for operating and securing the website, consent for optional analytics cookies, and pre-contractual or contractual steps when you contact Adrian about a piece or order.
Customer testimonials are published without names, job titles, or customer portraits. An identifiable attribution or image is published only with recorded explicit authorization covering the intended text, image, channels, and duration.
A customer may withdraw that authorization through the privacy contact routes below. The identifiable attribution or image will then be removed from future publication, subject to any legal record-keeping obligations.
This website uses a cookie consent tool to remember your privacy choice. That preference cookie is necessary because it prevents the site from asking the same question on every page.
Google Analytics is optional. It is loaded only if you accept analytics cookies. If you reject analytics, the Google Analytics tag is not loaded and analytics cookies are not intentionally set by this site.
You can change your choice at any time by using the Cookie settings link in the footer.
General WhatsApp or phone inquiries are kept only as long as needed to answer the request, discuss a possible piece, or maintain the working relationship. If an inquiry becomes an order, relevant messages and order details may be kept for the time needed to complete the work, handle follow-up, support warranty or care questions, and meet legal, tax, accounting, or dispute requirements.
The website does not use a customer account database or mailing list. Analytics data, when enabled by consent, is used in aggregate reports and should not be used to identify individual visitors.
Depending on your actions, data may be processed by service providers used for hosting, security, analytics, WhatsApp communication, phone service, or social links. These providers may process data outside Romania or the European Economic Area using their own legal safeguards.
Personal inquiry details are not sold. They are shared only when needed to answer you, complete agreed work, comply with law, or protect legal rights.
You can ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection regarding your personal data. You can also withdraw analytics consent at any time through Cookie settings.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Romanian data protection authority, ANSPDCP, atdataprotection.ro.
For privacy requests, use the same direct contact routes as customer inquiries.
