- Legal compliance: accounting/tax obligations; defending our rights before authorities/courts, where applicable.
- Personalised products—specific information
- Personalised digital content (e.g., “Școala Emoțiilor” – personalised PDF): we may request the child’s name, age/date of birth (optional—for greetings), and the recipient’s email address (for delivery/gifting). This data is used solely for personalization and delivery and is deleted after delivery (unless the recipient is already a newsletter subscriber or an active customer).
- Physical products with logos: graphic materials you provide are used strictly for production and deleted after completion, unless you agree to their reuse.
- Gifts to third parties: the recipient’s email address is used strictly for delivery/personalization; we do not subscribe to the recipient to the newsletter without their consent.
- Legal bases for processing
- Contract performance – Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (orders, delivery, access to courses).
- Legal obligation – Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR (accounting/tax).
- Legitimate interests – Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (site security, fraud prevention, defense of rights).
- Consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (newsletter, non-essential cookies, certain optional personalizations).
- Recipients/processors
We process data with partners (as processors or, where applicable, independent controllers) under confidentiality commitments and GDPR clauses, strictly as necessary:
- Online payments: NETOPIA Payments (mobilPay) – payment processing (processor and/or independent controller for its anti-fraud obligations).
- Courier: DPD Romania (and international partners, where applicable) – delivery of physical products.
- Hosting & email: our hosting/email provider – operation of the website and mailboxes.
- Analytics/advertising: Google (Analytics) and Meta (Facebook/Instagram) – only with consent for statistical/marketing cookies.
- Newsletter system (CRM): MiniCRM Zrt. (Hungary, EU) – used exclusively to send newsletters to subscribers (list management, sending marketing emails based on consent).
We may disclose data to public authorities, banks, auditors, or consultants only where there is a legal obligation or a clear legitimate interest (e.g., defending claims in court).
- International transfers
Processing generally takes place within the EEA. MiniCRM is established in Hungary (EU); NETOPIA in Romania (EU).
For some services (e.g., Google/Meta), certain technical data may be transferred outside the EEA. In such cases, we use Standard Contractual Clauses and, where appropriate, additional safeguards, in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR. We do not carry out transfers without appropriate safeguards.
- Data retention
- Customers/orders: 5 years from the last transaction (tax requirements).
- Newsletter: until consent is withdrawn or you unsubscribe.
- Personalised products: personalization data are deleted after delivery, unless you agree to retention.
- Recruitment: for the duration of the process and, if no employment follows, up to 6 months (or deletion on request).
- Data security
We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures (access controls, strong passwords, encryption in transit, backup, internal policies, staff training). Our processors (including MiniCRM/NETOPIA) apply appropriate security measures as well.
We maintain incident-response procedures and, where required, notify ANSPDCP and affected individuals within legal time limits.
- Automated decision-making and profiling
We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produce legal effects or similarly significantly affect you. We may perform simple segmentation of subscribers, based on consent (e.g., stated interests), to send relevant content.

- To be informed and to access the data we hold about you.
- To rectify inaccurate/incomplete data.
- To erasure (“right to be forgotten”), under the conditions of the law.

- To object to processing based on legitimate interests/direct marketing.
- To data portability (for data processed by automated means, based on consent or contract).
- To withdraw consent (without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing).
- To lodge a complaint with ANSPDCP or to seek a judicial remedy.
Exercising your rights: email us at office@creative-bright.com or write to our business address (Șos. Pipera 50A, Sector 2, Bucharest, Romania).
Response time: within one month (extendable by up to two months in complex cases—you will be informed).
- Newsletter and commercial communications
We send newsletters only based on your explicit consent.
Newsletters are sent via MiniCRM (as our processor) exclusively to subscribers. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email or by writing to office@creative-bright.com. We keep proof of consent (e.g., double opt-in, if enabled).
Note: transactional messages (order/course confirmations, invoices, support) are not marketing communications.
- Links to third parties
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please read their privacy policies.
- Cookies
Full details about the categories of cookies used, purposes, durations, and how to control preferences are provided in our Cookie Policy published on the site. Non-essential cookies (statistics/marketing) are used only with your consent via the cookie banner.
