Discuții Pixelate

Last updated: 3 November 2026

1. General information

Discuții Pixelate is an application intended for messaging and organizing personal contacts.

The application is developed as an independent project, presented under the name Discutii Pixelate.

Contact email: cevo.romania@gmail.com

Correspondence address: strada Teodor Mihali 31-35, Cluj-Napoca, Cluj, Romania.

Users may send requests concerning personal data to the email address above.

2. Data collected and processed

The following categories of data may be processed for the application to function:

• The username chosen when creating an account.

• The account's unique identifier.

• Information required for authentication and account recovery.

• Sent and received messages.

• Contacts and categories created by the user.

• Information about participation in discussion rooms.

• Application preferences and settings.

• Technical information necessary for operation and security of the service.

• Technical data necessary for notifications, when this feature is used.

At registration, the application does not require a telephone number or email address.

3. Authentication and account recovery

Users can create an account and set a personal code to recover access.

The database stores information derived from the recovery code, necessary to verify it, rather than a field intended to store the original code in plain text.

Users are responsible for keeping their personal recovery code in a safe place.

4. Purposes and legal bases of processing

Data is processed for:

• Creating and administering accounts.

• Sending and receiving messages.

• Organizing contacts and conversations.

• Recovering account access.

• Providing notifications.

• Preventing unauthorized access and abusive use.

• Ensuring operation and security of the service.

Processing necessary to provide the service may be based on performance of the user agreement, while certain security measures may be based on the controller's legitimate interests.

Where processing requires consent, it will be requested separately.

5. Data storage and security

Discuții Pixelate uses Supabase infrastructure for authentication, information storage and operation of certain services.

Authentication mechanisms and database-level access rules are used to protect data.

Access to messages, contacts, categories and profiles is restricted by security rules.

These measures aim to protect data but cannot guarantee elimination of all information security risks.

6. Message confidentiality

Private messages are intended for the participants in the conversation.

Users can delete their own messages according to the application's features.

Deleting an original message does not automatically remove replies sent by others. The link to the deleted message may be removed, while replies may remain available.

Conversation content is not intended to be published as advertising material.

7. Deletion of accounts and data

Users can request or initiate account deletion through the features available in the application.

The system includes mechanisms to remove data associated with an account from the main database, including messages, contacts, categories and recovery information.

Certain information may remain temporarily in backups or may require retention in situations provided for by law.

When an account is deleted, associated data is removed from the active database. The application administrator does not retain their own database backups containing users' information. The provider Supabase may temporarily retain backups, according to its applicable services and retention policies, to recover the system in the event of incidents.

8. Services and content provided by third parties

The application may integrate informational services such as:

• Weather information.

• Air quality information.

• Religious calendar.

• Exchange rates and conversion tools.

• Online radio stations.

• Links to external resources.

Providers of these services may process certain technical data, such as the IP address, when users access or load those resources.

These services may have their own privacy policies.

9. Advertising and affiliate links

Discuții Pixelate may display advertising banners, commercial offers and affiliate links.

The application administrator may receive advertising revenue or commissions for purchases and other eligible actions carried out through affiliate links.

Commercial content will be distinguished from the application's informational tools.

Accessing a commercial link may redirect users to an external website administered by another entity.

10. Data retention

Data necessary for an account to function is retained for as long as the account exists, except for information deleted earlier or data subject to a legal retention obligation.

Backups made by the administrator contain the application's project files and do not include users' data from the database. The Supabase plan currently used does not include scheduled database backups.

Supabase processes technical logs for operation and security of the infrastructure according to its applicable terms. Under the current plan, the administrator ordinarily has dashboard access to logs for the last day. This access period does not confirm the deletion period for all of the provider's internal records.

11. Users' rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), users have the following rights, as applicable:

• The right of access to data.

• The right to rectification.

• The right to erasure.

• The right to restriction of processing.

• The right to data portability.

• The right to object to certain processing.

• The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

• The right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

To exercise their rights, users may send a request to cevo.romania@gmail.com.

To protect the account, do not send the secret recovery code by email.

Requests are examined and resolved under the conditions and within the time limits laid down by applicable legislation. The exercise of certain rights may be subject to conditions and exceptions provided for by law.

In Romania, users may contact the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing — ANSPDCP. Information on lodging a complaint is available on the authority's website.

12. Updates to the Privacy Policy

This policy may be updated to reflect changes to the application's features, services used or legal requirements.

The version available to users will indicate the date of its latest update. Changes requiring users to be informed or separate consent to be obtained will be handled in accordance with applicable legislation.

13. Protection of minors' data

13.1. Prohibition of processing under 16. In accordance with the application's Terms and Conditions, Discuții Pixelate is not intended for and does not knowingly collect personal data from minors under the age of 16.

13.2. Administrative measures. If you are aware of, or are the parent/legal guardian of, a minor under 16 who has created an account by providing false information, please contact us immediately at cevo.romania@gmail.com. Upon receipt and verification of such a notification, we will immediately and permanently delete that account and all associated data/messages from our active database.
