Why we exist
Our purpose, from the statute (art. 5):
“to promote a dynamic, open, inclusive and equitable society and greater transparency, ethics and integrity of public institutions and authorities.
The Association's objective is to promote an environment conducive to civic engagement, to develop civic spirit and to support all the actors that make up civil society by optimising access to information and facilitating collaboration with the public administration.”
Courtesy translation; the legally binding text is the Romanian one.
The statute dates from 10 July 2019. “Optimising access to information” was there from the start.
How we work
- What we say can be checked. Every piece of data we publish has its source next to it: the document, the institution that issued it, the date. An organisation that says what it has done must be open to verification, not taken at its word.
- We ask, we do not accuse. When a piece of information is missing, we request it from the institution that holds it, under Legea 544/2001 (the Freedom of Information Act), and we publish the answer in full. A request without an answer is not proven guilt: it is a question that is still waiting.
- The same measure for everyone. We apply the same rules to every institution and every person, regardless of party or of who knows them.
- Personal data stay private. On the documents we publish, we cover handwritten signatures, home addresses and any data that has nothing to do with a public office.
- Nothing without your consent. If you do not press “Accept”, the site sends nothing about you anywhere. If you do, Google learns only whether you came from one of our free ads (Google Ad Grants) and whether you clicked on an email address. You can withdraw your consent at any time from the Privacy and cookies page.
Who we are
The president and legal representative of the association is Cosmin Stoenoiu. We work with volunteers, whom we do not name on the site without their consent.
