1. Introduction

Welcome to The One Euro Journey. We are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how OEJ OÜ (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our Website and when you purchase a Producer Credit.

This project does not provide paid voting rights tied to payment. If we run optional community polls or feedback rounds in the future, they may require limited data processing described in this Policy.

B. Transactional Data

Data points: Your Producer Number (e.g., #4,502) and your display preference (named or anonymous).

4. How and Why We Use Your Data

We only use your data when the law allows us to. The main purposes and legal bases are:

Purpose	Data Used	Legal Basis
Process your payment and deliver your Producer Credit	Identity & contact data; transactional data	Performance of a contract
Accounting, invoicing, and taxes (incl. VAT where applicable)	Identity & contact data; transactional data	Legal obligation
Website security, fraud prevention, and abuse detection	Technical & usage data; transactional signals	Legitimate interests
Send essential service messages (receipts, confirmations, policy changes)	Contact data	Performance of a contract / legitimate interests
Send newsletters or marketing updates (if you opt in)	Contact data	Consent
Public recognition on the Wall of Producers (only if you choose a display name)	Display Name; Producer Number	Consent

Optional community polls
If we run optional community polls or feedback rounds, we will minimize data collection and use it only to administer the poll, prevent abuse, and publish aggregated results where appropriate. Participation is optional and not a purchased right.

5. Public Visibility & Transparency

A core feature of The One Euro Journey is public transparency.

Aggregated financial data: We may publish totals (revenue, costs, impact allocation) in aggregated form that does not identify you personally.
Producer listing: If you choose to list a display name, your Display Name and Producer Number may appear publicly.
Anonymity: If you choose “Anonymous,” we will not display your name publicly. We may still retain certain internal records for legal, accounting, and security purposes.

6. Sharing Your Data

We do not sell your personal data. We only share it with trusted third parties when necessary to operate our services:

Payment processors: such as Stripe (and other providers shown at checkout).
Email service providers: to send transactional emails and (if you opt in) newsletters.
Hosting & infrastructure: hosting providers, analytics/security services, and related technical vendors.
Legal authorities: including the Estonian Tax and Customs Board (EMTA) or other authorities when required by law.

7. International Transfers

We operate from Estonia (EU/EEA). Some service providers may be located outside the EEA (for example, in the USA). Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we use appropriate safeguards such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other valid transfer mechanisms available under GDPR, where applicable.

8. Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including legal, accounting, and reporting requirements.

Tax and accounting records: transaction-related records are generally retained for up to 7 years.
Marketing data: we keep your email address for newsletters until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.
Security logs: retained for a limited period needed for security, fraud prevention, and troubleshooting.

Request access to the personal data we hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
Request erasure of your data (“right to be forgotten”), subject to legal retention obligations
Object to processing (including marketing)
