At MASEVIO, we believe that useful information and respect for privacy should go hand in hand.
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information when you visit our website, contact us or interact with our independent digital publication.
1. About MASEVIO

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Mihai Adrian Dinu is the data controller responsible for determining the purposes and means of personal data processing carried out through MASEVIO.
The MASEVIO Desk is our editorial identity and does not represent a separate legal entity.

Please avoid sending sensitive personal information unless genuinely necessary.

- Requested pages and resources.
- Access dates and times.
- Browser and device information.
- Technical errors and security-related events.
Privacy-related requests
When you exercise a data protection right, we may process the information necessary to identify relevant records, verify your request where reasonably necessary, respond to you and document its handling.
3. Purposes and Legal Bases
We process personal information for the following purposes, relying on the applicable legal bases under Article 6 GDPR.
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Responding to general and editorial enquiries | Legitimate interests — Article 6(1)(f) |
| Reviewing business proposals | Legitimate interests — Article 6(1)(f), or pre-contractual steps under Article 6(1)(b), where applicable |
| Delivering, maintaining and securing the website | Legitimate interests — Article 6(1)(f) |
| Preventing abuse and investigating security incidents | Legitimate interests — Article 6(1)(f), or legal obligation where applicable |
| Responding to data protection requests | Legal obligation — Article 6(1)(c) |

Our legitimate interests include operating a reliable and secure publication, communicating with readers and relevant contacts, protecting our services and maintaining appropriate records.
Where processing requires consent, we will request it before the relevant activity begins.
4. Hosting and Technical Access Logs
MASEVIO uses Hostico for website hosting and email services.
When you visit our website, the hosting infrastructure may automatically generate technical access records for website delivery, maintenance, security and troubleshooting.
Our current cPanel configuration enables monthly raw access log archiving and automatic removal of the previous month’s archived logs at the end of each month.
This setting applies to the archived raw access logs available within our hosting account. Hostico may maintain separate operational records and backups under its own applicable contractual, security and retention arrangements.
5. Cookies and Browser Storage
During a preliminary technical review conducted on October 13, 2026, no cookies were detected in an unauthenticated browser session on the homepage and the article, About and Contact pages tested.
A WordPress-related Session Storage entry named wpEmojiSettingsSupports was observed. It is associated with checking browser support for emoji functionality.
These findings describe the configuration tested at that time and do not constitute a permanent guarantee that no browser storage technologies will ever be used.
We will review our privacy documentation and implement any legally required consent controls before introducing optional technologies that require consent.
You can manage cookies and browser storage through your browser settings.
6. Analytics, Advertising and Marketing
Our preliminary checks did not identify active Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager or Meta Pixel implementations on the public pages tested.
MASEVIO does not currently provide a public newsletter subscription form.
If we introduce analytics, personalized advertising, newsletters or similar services, we will review the relevant data processing, provide appropriate information and obtain consent where legally required.
Contacting MASEVIO does not automatically subscribe you to marketing communications.
7. Email Communications
MASEVIO uses email addresses hosted through Hostico for general enquiries, editorial matters, business communications and privacy requests.
We process incoming correspondence to understand your enquiry, provide an appropriate response, consider relevant proposals and maintain necessary records.
Our public contact addresses include:
- hello@masevio.com — general enquiries.
- contact@masevio.com — business and partnerships.
- editorial@masevio.com — editorial matters and corrections.
- privacy@masevio.com — privacy and data protection requests.
8. Comments and Visitor Accounts
Public WordPress commenting and pingback functionality is disabled in the current website configuration.
MASEVIO does not currently offer general visitor registration or public user profiles.
Administrative accounts are maintained separately for authorized website management.
If interactive community features are introduced, we will review and update this policy accordingly.
9. External Links and Third-Party Content
Our articles may contain links to external websites, official documentation, retailers, product providers and other resources.
When you follow an external link, the destination website operates independently and may process information under its own privacy policy.
Where affiliate or other commercial relationships apply, we aim to disclose them transparently and distinguish editorial content from commercial arrangements.
We will assess the privacy implications of third-party embedded content or services before introducing new integrations.
10. Sharing Personal Information
Personal information may be processed by service providers where reasonably necessary to operate MASEVIO.
Hostico provides our website hosting and email infrastructure and may process relevant information in connection with those services.
Information may also be disclosed where required by applicable law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
We do not sell personal information to data brokers.
Where service providers process personal information on our behalf, we seek to ensure that applicable data protection requirements are reflected in the relevant arrangements.
11. International Data Transfers
MASEVIO uses Hostico for its website and email infrastructure.
If a service or processing activity involves transferring personal information outside the European Economic Area, we will assess the applicable GDPR requirements and use an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism where required.
Such mechanisms may include an applicable adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards, depending on the circumstances.
Information about relevant transfer arrangements may be requested at privacy@masevio.com.
12. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for its purpose, subject to applicable legal obligations and legitimate requirements.
Our retention policy is as follows:
| Information | Retention period |
|---|---|
| General and editorial correspondence | 12 months from the last interaction |
| Commercial proposals that do not result in an active collaboration | 24 months from the last interaction |
| Active business correspondence | Throughout the collaboration and subsequently for any applicable legal or contractual retention period |
| Privacy-related requests | For as long as necessary to resolve the request and demonstrate compliance with applicable obligations |
| Archived raw access logs in our cPanel account | According to the monthly archiving and automatic removal configuration described in Section 4 |
| Records required for legal claims or statutory obligations | For the applicable legal period or as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant claim |
We periodically review correspondence and records against these criteria.
Where information is no longer necessary, we aim to delete or anonymize it, subject to applicable legal requirements and relevant backup arrangements.
These periods describe MASEVIO’s retention policy and do not override separate lawful retention obligations applicable to our service providers.

- Request access to your personal data.
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.

15. Information Security
We aim to apply reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the information processed and the associated risks.
These include managing administrative access, maintaining account security and reviewing relevant technical configurations.
No website or electronic communication system can guarantee absolute security.
Potential privacy or security concerns may be reported to privacy@masevio.com.
16. Children’s Privacy
MASEVIO is a general-interest digital publication and does not currently operate a service specifically designed to collect personal information directly from children.
We do not knowingly seek unnecessary personal information from children.
If you believe personal information relating to a child has been submitted inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review the matter.
17. Automated Decision-Making
MASEVIO does not currently use personal information collected through its public website to make solely automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects concerning visitors.
If this changes, we will provide the information required by applicable law.
18. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our publication, website functionality, service providers or applicable legal requirements.
The latest version will be made available on this page together with its revision date.
