4. Cookies and consent

We use strictly necessary cookies (session, language, cookie preference, CSRF protection) as they are required for the operation of the website (Art. 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EC). Cookies for statistics (Google Analytics) and advertising (Google Ads – conversion measurement) and the reCAPTCHA service are loaded only after your consent via the cookie banner (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can change your choice at any time under Cookie settings.

5. Retention periods

We keep requests and quotes for the duration of the brokering and thereafter for 3 years from the end of the year to defend against claims. Billing data and invoices are kept for 11 years under Croatian accounting and tax law. Accounts not used for 5 years are deleted after notice. Server logs are deleted after 30 days. Records of rejected automated and failed login attempts (IP address, type of attempt) are kept for 90 days for security purposes. Chats and reviews remain as long as the associated request or profile exists.

6. Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and the right to object to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Art. 21). You may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future. Please contact info@furgix.com; we respond within one month.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority – either the authority of the EU Member State in which you reside, or the Croatian authority AZOP (Agencija za zaštitu osobnih podataka, Selska cesta 136, 10000 Zagreb, azop.hr).

7. Obligation to provide data

The e-mail address and transport details are necessary for the brokering; without them we cannot forward quotes. The telephone number is required only to accept a quote so that the Carrier can reach you. All other information is voluntary. We do not carry out automated decision-making or profiling within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.

8. Changes

We update this Privacy Policy when our processing or the legal situation changes. The version published here applies. In the event of a discrepancy between language versions, the Croatian version prevails.
