Appears inactive

Not rated. On 2026-07-18 the advertised free trial could not be started: every self-serve signup path (email and Google) returned 'For security reasons the registration process is suspended.' With a stale 2025 site copyright and no dated activity, EthicLink appears dormant and could not be evaluated in use. Kept in the directory as a reviewed-but-unusable listing.

Typical buyer

Romanian SMEs wanting a low-cost, self-serve ethics reporting inbox with EU-hosted data, a monthly billing option, and a 7-day free trial, where explicit Law 361/2022 mapping is not a requirement.

Distinctive features

  • Rare monthly option (€30/month) alongside annual (€300/year), both VAT-inclusive
  • EU data residency stated; encryption in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest both claimed
  • Anonymous reporting supported, with branded reporting pages and a secure encrypted case inbox

Add-ons and conditions

Costs or terms not included in the headline price.

  • Self-serve registration was suspended on both email and Google paths when tested (2026-07-18), so the advertised trial could not be started
  • Footer copyright reads "© 2025 Selfsoft Tech" and no dated activity (blog, changelog) is visible, suggesting a possibly dormant project
  • Neither EU Directive 2019/1937 nor Romania Law 361/2022 is cited anywhere on the public pages reviewed
  • Hosting country is not named (only "EU"); no ISO 27001; DPA referenced but not publicly downloadable
  • Subscription fees are explicitly non-refundable ("TOATE TAXELE DE ABONAMENT SUNT NERAMBURSABILE")
  • Standard tier caps at 5 users / 20 extra fields / 5 pages; anything larger is the quote-based Custom tier

Notable

  • Operated by SELFSOFT TECH SRL (CUI RO23359004) out of Voluntari, Romania; the interface runs in English and Romanian.
  • One of the few small Romanian channels with a real monthly billing option: €30/month or €300/year, both VAT-inclusive, on a self-serve Standard tier capped at 5 users, 20 extra fields, and 5 pages. A quote-based Custom tier lifts those limits.
  • A 7-day free trial with no credit card is advertised, but on 2026-07-18 both signup paths (portal.ethiclink.eu/users/create and /users/google) returned “For security reasons the registration process is suspended. Please try again later.” Combined with a stale “© 2025 Selfsoft Tech” footer and no dated activity, this suggests the project may be dormant rather than actively operated.
  • The privacy policy discloses EU hosting, TLS/SSL encryption in transit plus at-rest encryption, a stated retention approach, and named processors (Stripe for payments, Google Ireland for Analytics); a DPA is referenced but not published for download.
  • Positioning is generic “ethics / misconduct reporting” rather than transposition-law compliance: neither EU Directive 2019/1937 nor Romania Law 361/2022 is named anywhere on the public pages reviewed, and the hosting country, ISO 27001, and handler-workflow depth are not disclosed.

Status: not rated

EthicLink is kept in the directory because it was reviewed, but it is not scored. A tool that cannot be accessed cannot be rated on the 25-criterion rubric without inventing evidence, so it does not appear in the Romania ranking.

On 2026-07-18, every self-serve signup path returned “For security reasons the registration process is suspended. Please try again later.” (portal.ethiclink.eu/users/create and /users/google; see the screenshot above). The marketing site, legal pages, and Stripe billing links are still live, but the footer copyright still reads “© 2025 Selfsoft Tech” with no dated activity, so the product appears dormant rather than actively operated.

What the public pages do document is captured above under Notable, strengths, and the pricing caveats. If registration reopens and the product becomes testable, this profile will be scored under the same rubric as every other tool and moved into the ranking.
