By visiting the Website and providing information about the services offered on the Website, the User declares and warrants that:

  • is fully capable of providing the information

If the User is not entitled to provide the information on his/her own, he/she is obliged to obtain the consent of the third parties concerned (e.g. legal representative, guardian). In this context, the User shall consider whether the consent of a third party is necessary in connection with the provision of the information. The Controller shall not be liable in this context.

If a minor with limited capacity to act wishes to register on the Website, it is necessary to send a separate declaration including the consent of his/her legal representative to the e-mail address indicated in point ... below at the same time as the registration.

The Data Controller ensures the security of Users' data by the following measures:

  • encrypted SSL / TSL communication;
  • by restricting access to the data (only those who need to access the data in order to achieve the above-mentioned purposes);
  • a closed IT system that cannot be accessed from outside by any other person.

Although the above measures guarantee a high level of data security, in order to safeguard data, increased attention is also required from Users, in particular in the choice and management of passwords, avoiding obvious login names (e.g. user) or passwords (e.g. 1,2,3,4, etc.), and regularly changing passwords and avoiding making them available to other persons.

For the security of the data, it should also be stressed that the Data Controller will never ask Users to send their passwords by e-mail or any other communication channel (for example: SMS). If the User receives such a request, please report it to the Data Controller as soon as possible in order to take the necessary legal action.

Remedies

If the User (or any other data subject) considers that he or she has suffered a breach of rights in relation to the processing of his or her personal data, he or she may apply to the competent court or initiate an investigation at the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, address: 1055 Budapest, Falk Miksa utca 9-11., postal address: 1363 Budapest, Pf. 9., E-mail: [email protected], website: www.naih.hu)

Logging data

During the use of the Website, the time of the visit to the Website and certain other events (for example: registration), the User's IP address and the address of the page viewed are recorded. These data are continuously logged by the system to prevent abuse, to generate statistics and to guarantee the proper functioning of the Website, and are kept together with the personal data relating to the event.

12. Cookies

The Data Controller uses cookies in certain areas of the Website. Cookies are files that store information on the User's hard drive or web browser. Cookies enable the Website to recognise if it has been visited by a User in the past. Cookies help the Data Controller to understand which parts of the Website are the most popular because they allow the Data Controller to see which pages Users access and how much time they spend there. By studying this information, the Data Controller can better tailor the Website to Users' needs and provide a more varied user experience.
When the User visits the Website, technical information may be automatically collected which does not allow the User to be identified. For example, the name of another website that directed the User to this website, the location of the access to the Website, the searches made on the Website. The collection of this information helps the Data Controller to identify the preferred search patterns of the Website users without using personal data. This information is used internally only. Anonymous or general data, from which the identity of the User cannot be identified, are not considered personal data and are therefore not covered by this Policy.
Cookies for analytics purposes help us to better understand our Users' behaviour, to know which parts of the site visitors have viewed and to improve the effectiveness of the service.
The cookie used is called a session ID, which identifies the User on the system, so if the User does not exit the user interface but closes the window they are currently in, they do not need to enter a password the next time they visit the site, because the system recognises the user profile. However, this could lead to the risk that other people using the same computer could see and manage the User's user interface. The Service Provider accepts no liability for the consequences of such cases. Therefore, this facilitation is only recommended to the User if the computer used is only accessible by the User.

13. External Service Providers

The Website also uses links to the websites of external service providers, which the Data Controller does not control or is not able to control. In relation to these websites, the operator of the external services or websites acts as data controller and the related data processing operations are governed by the privacy policy of these websites.
