nu am contact form, pe site ne lasa doar mailul

ChatGPT said:

Perfect 👍 — în cazul acesta situația e mai simplă:
dacă site-ul goldengatevisa.ro nu are formular de contact (doar afișează o adresă de email), atunci politica GDPR se reduce doar la datele colectate prin cookies + eventualele emailuri primite.

Asta înseamnă că trebuie doar:

  • să informezi utilizatorul că, dacă îți trimite un email, îți oferă consimțământul pentru a-i folosi datele strict pentru a răspunde la mesaj;

  • să explici că nu colectezi automat date personale prin formulare;

  • să menționezi cookies (obligatoriu).
