3. Cookies and Analytics

​

My website is built on the Wix platform, which uses cookies necessary for the site to function correctly (“strictly necessary” cookies), and may use functional or analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. Where non-essential cookies are used, they are set on the basis of your consent, which you can manage or withdraw through the cookie settings available on the website or in your browser.

​

My website is also registered with Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. These are search-performance tools that provide the site owner with aggregated, non-identifying statistics about how the site appears in search results; they are enabled by means of a verification tag and do not set tracking cookies on your device through our website.

​

If additional analytics or advertising tools (for example, Google Analytics or Google Ads conversion tracking) are introduced in the future, this Policy will be updated accordingly, and any required consent will be obtained.

​

4. Data Processors and Recipients

​

Your personal data is handled confidentially and is only accessed by authorized personnel or trusted technical service providers (Data Processors):

• Website platform and form processing: Wix.com Ltd. — the platform on which the website is built and through which contact-form submissions are received. Wix processes the data on our behalf in accordance with its data processing terms.

• Hosting, server storage and e-mail: BlazeArts Kft. (FORPSI) — Thaly Kálmán u. 39., 1096 Budapest, Hungary; Tax No.: 12539833-2-43; www.forpsi.hu. Provides hosting, server storage, and the mail-server services used to receive and respond to contact requests.

• Search-performance tools: Google (Search Console) and Microsoft (Bing Webmaster Tools), as described in Section 3.

• ​

5. International Data Transfers

​

I do not sell your personal data or transfer it to third parties for their own purposes. Some of our service providers (for example, the website platform and search-performance tools) are operated by companies that may process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this occurs, such transfers are carried out under appropriate safeguards recognized by the GDPR — such as an adequacy decision of the European Commission or Standard Contractual Clauses — to ensure your data receives an equivalent level of protection.

 

6. Rights of the Data Subject

​

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of Access: to confirm whether your data is being processed and to obtain a copy of it.

• Right to Rectification: to have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected.

• Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): to have your data deleted under certain conditions.

• Right to Restriction of Processing: to restrict processing under specific statutory circumstances.

• Right to Data Portability: to receive your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

• Right to Object: to object at any time to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

• Right to Withdraw Consent: where processing is based on consent (e.g., the optional phone number), you may withdraw it at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact me at info@thebudapesthost.com. I will respond within the time limits set by the GDPR.
