The website keeps a log of the emails it sends (for example the confirmation and the notifications I receive): recipient, subject, content, time and delivery result.

3. Cookies and third-party content

When you first open the site, a cookie banner lets you decide which cookies you accept. You can change your choice at any time with the cookie settings icon in the corner of the screen.

  • Necessary cookies: needed to remember your cookie choice and for the site to work. Legal basis: legitimate interest [GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)].
  • Statistics and marketing cookies: the site runs Google Tag Manager, through which analytics and advertising tags (such as Google Analytics) may run. They only store cookies or identifiers if you consent in the cookie banner; until then, under Google Consent Mode, they send at most cookieless, aggregated signals. Their purpose is to measure and improve the site's traffic. Legal basis: consent [GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)]. Retention: up to 14 months depending on the cookie, or until you withdraw consent.
  • Third-party content: the site loads content from other providers. They may receive your IP address and set their own cookies:
  • Google Tag Manager and the Google services running through it (Google Ireland Ltd.)
  • Google Fonts (fonts, Google Ireland Ltd.)
  • Facebook videos in the Video & social section (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.)
  • YouTube videos in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com, Google Ireland Ltd.)
  • Elementor services, such as the cookie banner and the accessibility tool (Elementor Ltd.)

Their own privacy policies apply to this processing.

If I add a new analytics or advertising service, I'll update this policy and only enable it with your consent.


4. Who has access to the data (processors)

I don't sell your data or pass it on to third parties for marketing. To run the website I use the following providers:

ProviderRole
Rackhost Zrt. (Tisza Lajos krt. 41., 6722 Szeged, Hungary)hosting, database, the hello@btothbalazs.hu mailbox and sending emails
Google Ireland Ltd. (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland)receiving notification emails (Gmail), fonts, YouTube, Google Tag Manager and analytics (with your consent)
Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. (Merrion Road, Dublin 4, Ireland)embedded Facebook videos
Elementor Ltd. (Israel)the website builder, the cookie banner and the accessibility tool
Anthropic (Anthropic Ireland, Limited, Ireland; Anthropic PBC, USA)the Claude AI assistant I use to develop and maintain the website; through an MCP connection it can access the website's content and the data stored there (for example submitted forms) when a task requires it

If a contract follows and another professional is needed for the work (for example a subcontractor), I only share the data they need, and I'll tell you in advance.

Transfers outside the EU

The parent companies of Google and Meta are based in the United States, so some data may reach the US. This happens under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, on the basis of an adequacy decision. For Israel, the European Commission's adequacy decision ensures the protection of your data. Data reaching Anthropic's US parent company may be transferred with the safeguards required by Chapter V of the GDPR (such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses).


5. Security

Data is stored in a password-protected system accessible over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. Only I have access to it, along with the processors listed in section 4, to the extent their role requires. Uploaded files sit at random, unguessable addresses, and folder contents can't be listed. I keep the website's software up to date.


6. Your rights

While your data is being processed, you can ask at any time for:

  • Access: information about what data I hold about you, and a copy of it (GDPR Art. 15).
  • Rectification: correction of inaccurate data (Art. 16).
  • Erasure: deletion of your data when it's no longer needed or you withdraw your consent (Art. 17).
  • Restriction: that your data temporarily not be used (Art. 18).
  • Portability: the data you provided, in a machine-readable format (Art. 20).
  • Objection: to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21).
  • Withdrawing consent: at any time, without giving a reason. This doesn't affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

Send your request to hello@btothbalazs.hu. I'll reply within one month; if the request is complex, I may extend this once by two months and will let you know.


7. Remedies

If you feel your data protection rights have been violated, please write to me first so we can sort it out. You can also lodge a complaint with the Hungarian supervisory authority, or with the data protection authority of the EU country where you live or work:

Nemzeti Adatvédelmi és Információszabadság Hatóság (NAIH)
Falk Miksa utca 9–11., 1055 Budapest, Hungary
Postal address: 1363 Budapest, Pf. 9.
Email: ugyfelszolgalat@naih.hu
Web: naih.hu

You can also go to court.


8. Changes

I may update this policy, for example when I add a new service to the website. The current version is always available on this page, with its effective date.
