1.2. PURPOSE OF DATA PROCESSING

The purpose of data processing is the identification of the user for booking consultations, scheduling appointments, fulfillment, and the creation of anonymous traffic and visitor statistics for internal use.

1.3. LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING

Data processing is based on the voluntary consent of the data subjects (Act on Information Self-Determination and Freedom of Information, Section 5 (1) a)). Data subjects give their consent by providing the requested data on the Website.

Scope of processed data:
– name
– email address
– phone number

During browsing of the www.bakonyiavocats.hu website, technical information is recorded (log files, which contain IP address, time, etc.). The system continuously logs this data but does not link it with other data provided to the Controller. The Controller uses this information solely for the operation of the website and for statistical purposes. The website uses Google Analytics, the purpose of which is to anonymously record website traffic statistics. The Controller uses cookies on the website. By changing the settings of your internet browser, the sending of cookies can be disabled; however, if cookies are completely disabled, some functions of our website may not be available or may be available only to a limited extent.

Cookies do not contain personal data in any case.

1.4. COOKIES USED ON THE WEBSITE

Anonymous visitor identifier (cookie): An anonymous visitor identifier (cookie) is a unique string of characters – suitable for identification and storing profile information – which the web server places on the visitor’s computer. Such a string of characters alone cannot identify the visitor in any way; it serves solely to recognize the computer. It does not contain a name, email address, or any other personal information. Accepting cookies is not necessary to browse our website, but the messaging function will not work if you have disabled cookie acceptance in your browser.

Not only does the website send cookies to the visitor’s browser, but an external independent auditing service (Google Analytics) also measures site traffic using such a tool. Detailed information on the handling of measurement data can be found on the http://www.google.com/intl/hu/analytics website.

1.4.1. Cookies Used for Remarketing Tags:

For its operation, the website contains remarketing tags, which create a list from the data of visitors’ computers. External service providers, such as Google, may display advertisements on internet websites; these will be interest-based advertisements. Remarketing lists are not suitable for personally identifying the visitor; they only identify the browser software of their machine. During this process, Google uses so-called cookies for remarketing tags.

1.4.2. Conversion Tracking Cookies:

Our website uses conversion tracking during its operation to measure the effectiveness of Google AdWords advertisements. The conversion tracking cookie used for this purpose exists only for a limited time, and its acceptance is not mandatory. The conversion tracking cookie does not record or use any personal information.

The cookies used can be disabled at any time in Google Ad Settings (http://www.google.com/settings/ads), which does not hinder or prevent applying for services.

1.5. DURATION OF DATA PROCESSING

The provided data will be stored as long as the contractual relationship between the parties exists. However, if the data subject requests this in advance, their data will be deleted without delay. If no contractual relationship is established between the parties, the data will not be stored, and the provided data will be deleted.

Technical data related to traffic (IP address, operating system, browser type, etc.) are stored for 1 year. Thereafter, the operator retains them only in aggregated form, as traffic statistics.

1.6. SCOPE OF DATA ACCESS

Only the Controller and employees employed in its office have access to the data. Furthermore, the Controller does not transfer the data to third parties.
No data processor is engaged.

1.7. DATA SECURITY

The Controller treats information and data that comes to its knowledge confidentially, does not allow other persons to access them without the prior consent of the data subject – with exceptions specified in separate legal regulations – and does not disclose them.

The obligation of confidentiality applies to the Controller’s employees in the same way as to the Controller, and they are liable for its breach according to the law. The obligation of confidentiality also applies to the employee after the termination of employment.

1.8. INFORMATION ON LEGAL REMEDIES

The data subject is entitled to request information about their personal data processed at any time, which the Controller will fulfill within 8 days of receipt. Upon request, the Controller provides information on the personal data processed, the purpose of data processing, its legal basis, and its duration. The data subject may request the erasure, rectification, or restriction of their data without justification. The data subject may request the rectification or erasure of incorrectly recorded data at any time, which the Controller will carry out within 5 days of receipt in such a way that they cannot be restored later. An exception to this provision is any data processing or storage obligation prescribed by law for the Controller.

The Controller also restricts personal data if the data subject explicitly requests it or if there is a reasonable presumption that erasure would prejudice the data subject’s interests. Data thus restricted may only be processed as long as the possibility of prejudice to the data subject’s interests, i.e., the purpose of the restriction, exists.

The Controller simultaneously notifies the data subject of the rectification, erasure, or restriction of personal data.

If the Controller rejects the data subject’s request, it is obliged to notify the data subject of this decision, with justification, within eight days.

In case of a violation of rights, the data subject may turn to the Court based on Section 22 of the Act on Information Self-Determination and Freedom of Information or 52. may initiate official proceedings with the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information based on its relevant Section.

The Controller states that it does not store unsolicited data received and deletes or destroys them within eight days of receipt.

The Controller declares that the Act on Information Self-Determination and Freedom of Information 7. complies with the data security requirements set forth in its relevant Section regarding all personal data processed by it.

The Controller does not verify the authenticity of personal data provided to it; however, if false or erroneous data are provided, it assumes no responsibility for them and will assert any damages incurred.

In matters not covered in this section, the provisions of the Act on Information Self-Determination and Freedom of Information shall apply.

1.9. OTHER MATTERS

We provide information on data processing not listed in this policy at the time of data collection. We reserve the right to unilaterally amend this data processing policy with notification to the data subjects. The Controller does not verify personal data provided to it in the absence of such a legal obligation. The person providing the data is solely responsible for its accuracy. By providing their email address, any data subject simultaneously undertakes responsibility that only they will use services from the provided email address. We inform our clients that the investigating authority, the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, or other bodies authorized by law may contact the Controller for the purpose of providing information, disclosing or transferring data, or making documents available.
