• improve our website and services (analytics only if you opt in).

We will never use your data for marketing unless you explicitly consent.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

All processing of your personal data is based on one of the following grounds:

• Contractual necessity: to process and deliver your purchased reports.
• Consent: for optional cookies, analytics, or marketing communications.
• Legal obligation: to maintain accounting records and comply with Romanian law.
