Each website visited can send cookies to the user’s computer, provided that the user’s browser settings allow this.

To protect users’ data, browsers only allow a website to access the cookie it has placed on the user’s computer; websites cannot access cookies placed by other websites.

Browsers are typically set to accept cookies. If the user does not wish to accept cookies, they may configure their browser to refuse cookies or certain types of cookies. In this case, some elements of the website may not function properly. Cookies cannot access other information on the user’s hard drive and do not contain viruses.

  • LinkedIn Pixel (purpose: website traffic measurement)

  • Microsoft Clarity (purpose: website traffic measurement)

SECURITY

The Data Controller applies security measures to prevent unauthorized access to Personal Data and to prevent unlawful data processing, destruction, or damage.

Storage devices containing Personal Data are kept in physically protected, restricted-access premises and are not left unattended.

Personal Data (including the email servers of Sándor Farkas) are stored on servers located within the European Union. The virtual server is hosted on a physical server placed in a locked cabinet within a server room. Other users cannot access the data.

The Data Controller’s websites may contain links to websites not operated by the Data Controller or not governed by its data protection practices. Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to such websites. Users are advised to review the privacy policies of these websites before providing any personal data. The Data Controller is not responsible for any unlawful data processing, breaches of data security requirements, damages, or violations of personality rights committed by the operators of such websites.

RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS

Upon request, the Data Controller shall provide information about the data processed by it or by a data processor acting on its behalf, including the purpose, legal basis, duration of processing, the name and address (registered office) of the data processor, and information about data transfers. The Data Controller shall provide such information in writing, in a clear and understandable manner, as soon as possible but no later than 30 days from receipt of the request. This information shall be provided free of charge if the requester has not submitted a similar request regarding the same data area during the current year.

The Data Controller shall delete Personal Data if the processing is unlawful, if requested by the data subject, or if the purpose of data processing has ceased.

The Data Controller shall inform the data subject and all parties to whom the data were previously transferred for processing purposes of any rectification or deletion, unless such notification would not serve the legitimate interests of the data subject.

The data subject may object to the processing of their personal data if such processing or transfer is necessary solely for the enforcement of the rights or legitimate interests of the Data Controller or the data recipient, unless the processing is required by law; if the data are used or transferred for direct marketing, public opinion polling, or scientific research purposes; or if the exercise of the right to object is otherwise permitted by law.

Personal Data shall not be deleted if processing is required by law. However, the data may not be transferred to the data recipient if the Data Controller has upheld the objection or if a court has established the legitimacy of the objection.

In the event of a violation of their rights, the data subject may take legal action against the Data Controller. The Data Controller shall compensate for damages caused to others by unlawful data processing or by breaches of technical data protection requirements. The Data Controller shall be exempt from liability if the damage was caused by an unavoidable external reason beyond the scope of data processing. No compensation shall be due if the damage resulted from the intentional or grossly negligent conduct of the injured party.
