Privacy Policy

2. Visiting the website

When you visit this website, technical information may be processed, including your IP address, access date and time, requested pages, browser and operating system information, and referring website.

This information is used to deliver the website, identify technical problems, and protect it against misuse. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR: the legitimate interest in providing a secure and reliable website.

The website is hosted by Websupport Magyarország Kft., which processes hosting data on behalf of the website operator.

[Confirm the technical data recorded, server-log retention period, and backup deletion arrangements with Websupport before publication.]

3. Contacting me by email

If you email me, I process your email address, your name if provided, and the information in your message to respond to your enquiry. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR: the legitimate interest in handling correspondence. If your enquiry concerns a potential contract, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR may apply instead.

Correspondence is retained for as long as necessary to handle your enquiry and related follow-up. Information may be retained longer where necessary to meet legal obligations or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

The contact address uses Gmail, provided by Google. Google processes email data as part of providing that service.

[Confirm the applicable Google provider, international-transfer safeguards, and email deletion schedule before publication.]

4. Comments

Where comments are enabled, the website processes the information you submit, including your display name, email address, comment, and optional website address. WordPress may also record your IP address and browser information for security and spam prevention.

Your comment and display name are publicly visible if the comment is approved. Your email address is not displayed publicly. Please avoid including sensitive personal information in your comment.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR: the legitimate interest in enabling discussion, moderating comments, and protecting the website against spam and abuse.

Published comments are retained while the relevant discussion remains available, unless removed earlier. You may contact me to request deletion; applicable legal exceptions may affect the request.

[Confirm retention periods for pending, rejected, and spam comments. Identify any spam-filtering or avatar services and their data processing before enabling comments.]

5. Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Their use depends on the features enabled on this website.

Where offered, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies when submitting a comment. This makes it easier to comment again without re-entering those details.

Non-essential cookies require your prior consent. Where consent-based services are enabled, you can refuse them or withdraw your consent through the website’s consent settings. Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out lawfully before withdrawal.

[Insert the verified cookie list, purposes, providers, durations, and method for changing consent preferences before publication.]

6. Google Analytics

Google Analytics is planned for this website. This draft does not describe it as an active service.

Before it is enabled, this policy will be updated with the applicable Google provider, information collected, purposes, consent requirements, retention settings, and any international data transfers and safeguards.

7. Pinterest and external websites

House of Useful may link to Pinterest and other external websites. Following an external link takes you to another provider’s website, where that provider’s privacy policy applies.

A Pinterest profile link is different from an embedded Pinterest widget or Pinterest Tag. If tracking tools or embedded social-media features are added, this policy will be updated to explain the associated processing.

8. Affiliate links

House of Useful plans to use Amazon Associates affiliate links. Affiliate participation is not treated as active in this draft.

When affiliate links are introduced, this policy will be updated to identify the relevant programme and explain any associated tracking and data processing. Affiliate links will also be clearly disclosed where they appear.

9. Who may receive personal data?

Personal data may be accessible to service providers involved in hosting the website and delivering email, and to additional providers identified in this policy after their services are enabled.

Information may also be disclosed where required by law or necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. Publicly approved comments can be viewed by other website visitors.

10. International transfers

Some service providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area. Where this occurs, an applicable GDPR transfer mechanism is required, such as an adequacy decision or appropriate contractual safeguards.

[Identify the actual transfers and safeguards for the services used, including Gmail, and how visitors can obtain information about those safeguards before publication.]

11. Your rights

Depending on the circumstances and applicable legal conditions, you may have the right to access your personal data, correct inaccurate or incomplete data, request deletion or restriction of processing, receive portable data where applicable, and object to processing based on legitimate interests.

Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. To exercise your rights, email szeker.viktoria97@gmail.com.

You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, including the Hungarian National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (NAIH): www.naih.hu.

12. Providing personal information

You do not need to submit a comment or send an email to read the blog. Technical processing necessary to deliver the website may still occur.

If you choose to contact me or submit a comment, certain information is needed to handle that request or provide that feature. Required comment fields are indicated in the comment form.

[Confirm whether any automated decision-making within Article 22 GDPR takes place, including through installed services, and add the applicable information before publication.]

13. Changes to this policy

This policy will be updated when the website’s services or data-processing practices change. The date at the top indicates the latest revision.
