This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect your personal information when you visit this website, book lessons, make a payment, subscribe to the newsletter, or otherwise contact us.

The data controller for this website and the services offered through it is:

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your personal data is handled, you can contact us using the email address above.

2. What personal data do we collect?

Depending on how you use the website and our services, we may collect the following information:

  • Your name
  • Email address
  • Telephone number, if provided
  • Billing information
  • Information relating to lessons and bookings
  • Appointment dates and times
  • Messages or information you provide in connection with a booking
  • Information you provide when subscribing to the newsletter
  • Payment and transaction information
  • Technical information such as IP address, browser information and cookie preferences
  • Any other information you choose to provide when contacting us

We only collect information that is relevant to providing our services, communicating with you, processing bookings and payments, and complying with legal obligations.

3. Booking lessons

We use LatePoint to manage lesson bookings, appointments and customer information.

When you make a booking, we may collect information such as your name, email address, telephone number, selected service, appointment date and time, and information you enter into the booking form.

This information is processed in order to:

  • Create and manage your booking
  • Communicate with you about your lessons
  • Send booking confirmations, reminders or changes
  • Manage your customer account and booking history
  • Provide the lessons and services you have requested

The legal basis for this processing is primarily that it is necessary in order to take steps at your request and to perform our agreement with you.

4. Online lessons and calendar integrations

To organise and provide lessons, booking information may be shared with or processed through third-party services such as Microsoft Teams and Google Calendar.

For example, your name, email address, lesson date and time, and information necessary to create an online meeting or calendar appointment may be transferred to these services.

We only share the information necessary for organising and providing the lesson.

Google and Microsoft process personal data in accordance with their own privacy policies and contractual data protection obligations.

5. Payments

Payments may be processed through third-party payment providers such as PayPal or Stripe.

When you make a payment, the payment provider may collect and process information required to complete the transaction, prevent fraud and comply with financial and legal obligations.

We do not receive or store your full payment card details. Payment card information is handled directly by the payment provider.

We may receive information relating to the transaction, such as:

  • Your name
  • Email address
  • Payment status
  • Transaction ID
  • Amount paid
  • Currency
  • Date of payment

The legal basis for processing payment-related information is the performance of our agreement with you and, where applicable, compliance with accounting, tax and other legal obligations.

6. Newsletter

If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the information you provide in the newsletter signup form; your email address and your full name.

We use Mailchimp to manage our mailing list and send out newsletters.

Your information may therefore be transferred to and processed by Mailchimp.

We will only send you marketing emails where you have actively subscribed or otherwise provided valid consent.

You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails.

The legal basis for processing your information for newsletters and marketing communications is your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

9. Who do we share your information with?

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share personal data with service providers where this is necessary to operate the website and provide our services.

These may include:

  • LatePoint – booking and appointment management
  • Mailchimp – newsletter and mailing list management
  • Microsoft – Microsoft Teams and related services
  • Google – Google Calendar and related services
  • [Website hosting provider] – website hosting and technical infrastructure

Some service providers act as data processors on our behalf, while others may act as independent data controllers for certain processing activities.

10. International transfers of personal data

Some of the service providers we use are international companies and may process personal data outside Hungary or outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we take appropriate measures to ensure that the transfer complies with applicable data protection law.

Depending on the provider and destination, this may include an adequacy decision by the European Commission, Standard Contractual Clauses, or other safeguards permitted under the GDPR.

11. How long do we keep your information?

We do not keep personal data for longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Retention periods depend on the type of information and the reason it is processed.

For example:

  • Booking and customer information may be retained for as long as necessary to manage the customer relationship and maintain appropriate business records.
  • Invoices, payment records and accounting information may be retained for the period required under Hungarian tax and accounting law.
  • Newsletter information is retained until you unsubscribe or withdraw your consent, unless we are legally required to retain certain information.
  • Enquiries and correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your request and maintain appropriate records.

Where personal data is no longer required, it will be deleted or anonymised unless continued storage is required by law.

12. Your rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you may have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Request deletion of your personal data
  • Request restriction of processing
  • Object to certain processing
  • Request transfer of your data to another provider where applicable
  • Withdraw your consent at any time where processing is based on consent

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

To exercise your rights, please contact us at hungarianwitheszter@gmail.com.

We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

13. Right to complain

If you believe that your personal data has been processed in violation of applicable data protection law, you have the right to submit a complaint to the relevant data protection authority.

In Hungary, the supervisory authority is:

Hungarian National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (NAIH)

You may also have the right to contact the data protection authority in the EU or EEA country where you live or work.

14. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no online service or method of electronic storage can guarantee absolute security.

15. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, systems or legal obligations change.

The latest version will always be published on this website, together with the date it was last updated.
