Privacy and cookies
This page explains, in plain words, what data this website collects, why, and what rights you have. Processing is carried out in accordance with Albanian law no. 124/2024 on the protection of personal data.
1. Who processes your data
The data controller is [legal company name], Rruga Tom Plezha 1001, Tirana, Albania. For any question about personal data you can write to [privacy@sohobartirana.com].
2. What data is collected
a) “Work with us” form. Full name, phone, email, the position you are applying for, your availability, years of experience, the CV you upload and the free text you write.
b) Franchise form. Full name, email, phone, city and country of interest, whether you already have premises, available capital, experience in the sector, how you heard about us and your message.
c) Technical data. The server hosting this site automatically records your IP address, the date and time of the visit and your browser type. This data is used only for security and for the site to work.
Nothing else is collected: no profiling, no advertising, no visitor statistics.
3. Why, and on what legal basis
Form data is processed solely to answer your request: to review your application or to send you the franchise information. The legal basis is your consent, given by ticking the box before sending, together with the pre-contractual steps taken at your request.
4. How long it is kept
Applications are kept for [12 months] from receipt; franchise enquiries for [24 months]. After that they are deleted. You can ask for deletion earlier, at any time.
5. Who it is shared with
Your data is never sold and never passed to third parties for commercial purposes. It is accessible only to authorised SOHO BAR staff and to the site's hosting provider, acting as a processor.
6. Your rights
You have the right to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection and data portability, and to withdraw your consent at any time. An email to [privacy@sohobartirana.com] is enough. If you believe your rights have been breached, you may lodge a complaint with the Information and Data Protection Commissioner of Albania.
7. Cookies
This site sets no cookies of its own and uses no analytics. No Google Analytics, no Facebook pixel, no tracking.
Two external services are used:
- Google Fonts — the site's typefaces are loaded from Google's servers, which therefore receive your IP address.
- Google Maps — the map in the contact section does not load automatically: it loads only if you press the “Load the map” button. Until then, Google receives nothing from you. Once loaded, Google's own terms apply.
Precisely because no non-essential cookie is set without an action from you, this site does not need a cookie banner.
8. Changes
If this policy changes, the update date below will change too.
