2. WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO WE PROCESS AND WHY?

Personal data is information that clearly allows the precise identification of an individual.

On the www.evolutionspeedskating.hu website, we process the following personal data with precise indication of the legal basis:

COMMUNICATION DATA

This includes any message you send to us through the website, email, social media messages, or any form of communication.

We process and retain this data to fulfill orders and to provide a basis for decision-making in case of legal claims.

The legal basis for this processing is the user's demonstrable interest in our activities, which is manifested in messages addressed to us.

CUSTOMER DATA

This includes all data related to the purchase of products and services, such as the customer's name, shipping and billing address, email address, phone number, and purchased product data.

We process this data for the successful fulfillment of orders and to maintain legally compliant records of purchases.

The legal basis for data storage is the fulfillment of the contract created by the order between the customer and Schmidt Miklós e.v.

USER DATA

This includes data generated during website use that enables the technical operation of the site, maintains site security, stores backups of user activities, and ensures access to the most relevant content.

The legal basis for data processing is the user's clear interest in our activities, for which storage is necessary to ensure this and the technical operation of the site.

TECHNICAL DATA

This includes data generated during site use, such as IP address, login information, browser data, page visit times, page views and navigation paths, number and timing of page visits, time zones, and device data used to view the site.

The source of this data is our analytics software.

We process this data to analyze user habits on the site, maintain secure operation of our site, and understand the effectiveness of our marketing decisions.

The legal basis for data processing is the user's clear interest in our activities, which allows us to process this data in accordance with security requirements and use it for business growth for more effective operation.

MARKETING DATA

This includes visitor preferences regarding what marketing content they are willing to receive from us. We process this data to enable participation in contests and to send advertisements related to our products/services that the user has expressed interest in.

The collected data may occasionally be used for purposes such as providing targeted, relevant advertisements on the Facebook™ platform and various dynamic advertising surfaces, and measuring the effective operation of advertisements.

During our activities, we do not collect sensitive data such as ethnicity, religious views, sexual life and orientation, political opinions and trade union membership, health background, and genetic or biometric information.

3. HOW DO WE COLLECT DATA?

We may collect personal data when the user directly provides it to us (for example, by placing an order or sending a message).

Additionally, certain data is automatically collected during site use, for example with so-called "cookies" and similar technologies. These only become active after the user gives consent.

For more information, please see our Cookie Statement.

We receive certain data from external partners, such as analytics providers like Google (non-EU partner), advertising networks like Facebook™ (non-EU partner), and payment providers like PayPal (non-EU partner) and Barion.

4. OUR PRACTICAL DATA PROTECTION MEASURES

Protecting user data and complying with applicable regulations is extremely important to www.evolutionspeedskating.hu. Therefore, after conducting a data protection impact assessment on the site, we have prepared a list of collected data, their necessity, legal basis, and legal compliance.

To protect data provided in forms and generated on the site, we use SSL certification on the entire website (Let's Encrypt Authority X3 certification).
To protect the site against attacks, we use premium security software (iThemes Security Pro) to protect stored data against so-called "brute force" and virus attacks.
In the site's databases, purchase and user data are stored in encrypted form (pseudonymized), making them unreadable to external parties.
In this privacy statement, we provide users with the ability to request information about their personal data processing, modify or delete their personal data through forms.
Occasionally, it is necessary for our business activities to provide data to our service partners (for example, hosting provider, courier company, newsletter software).

In such cases, we always choose partners that comply with GDPR requirements, and in the case of US-based partners, participate in the EU-US Privacy Shield data protection initiative, and we sign data processing contracts with them, ensuring responsible data handling.

5. MARKETING COMMUNICATION

Marketing communication is essential during the company's activities. The legal basis for related data processing is showing interest in our services or users' express consent.

Based on the European Union's Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we send marketing messages to our users if they have purchased from us or have expressly consented to receive marketing messages.

We always make it possible to suspend consent and unsubscribe from messages in a clearly visible manner. Every email contains an unsubscribe link at the bottom, or removal from the database can be requested at info@evolutionspeedskating.hu.

Even after unsubscribing from marketing communication, we may still send messages, but only regarding order fulfillment.

6. NOTE ON PERSONAL DATA

Occasionally, it is necessary to share certain personal data with certain partners to maintain normal business operations:

IT service providers and providers performing troubleshooting and maintenance on computer systems
Expert partners such as lawyers, accountants, bankers, insurers
Government agencies that request reports on our activities
Payment service providers who securely handle bank card data
Courier services that fulfill incoming orders to the specified delivery address

International data transfers

User data occasionally needs to be shared with service partners outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to maintain business operations.

Countries outside the EEA often do not provide the same level of data protection, so European laws prohibit data export without appropriate conditions being met.

Whenever personal data goes outside the EEA, we take the following steps beyond those discussed in point 4 to ensure secure data handling:

We only transfer data to countries that the European Commission considers adequate in terms of data security.
We only use US-based services that are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield data security initiative.

If the above are not met, we request express consent from users for data transfer. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Links to external sites

This site occasionally contains links to external sites or embedded code snippets that enable the operation of external services.

Clicking these links or using embedded solutions may allow external partners to collect data about users.

While we do everything to properly review partners, we have no control over their privacy principles and are not responsible for their data processing principles.

7. DATA PROCESSING DURATION

We always store user data only as long as our legal/accounting/data provision obligations require it, and as necessary for service operation.

When deciding on storage duration, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of data, and the potential impact of its leakage in case of a data protection incident.

For tax reasons, we need to keep customers' billing and purchase data for at least 8 years to meet our legal obligations.

Under certain circumstances, we may use data in anonymized form for statistical purposes, in which case we store the data indefinitely without notification.

8. VISITOR RIGHTS

As a European Union citizen, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides the following rights to site users:

a) Access to personal data

Site users have the right to request a copy of personal data stored by www.evolutionspeedskating.hu. The request is generally fulfilled free of charge within 14 days of the request.

In case of repeated, abusive, unjustified data requests, www.evolutionspeedskating.hu may charge a modest amount for providing the data, and additional time may be needed to provide the data.

Furthermore, www.evolutionspeedskating.hu requests proof of identity before releasing data to prevent abusive use. For data requests, data deletion, or data restriction, please send an email to info@evolutionspeedskating.hu.

b) Modification of personal data

If personal data has changed or was provided incorrectly, users have the right to request data modification. For personal data modification, please contact us at info@evolutionspeedskating.hu.

c) Request for deletion of personal data

Users have the right to request deletion of all their personal data. We fulfill the request free of charge within 14 days following the request. After personal data deletion, the user account will not be accessible, so any purchased materials will also become inaccessible, as personal data linked to the user account is essential for service access.

www.evolutionspeedskating.hu requests proof of identity before deleting personal data to prevent abusive use.

d) Request for restriction of personal data processing

Users have the right to request restrictions on making their data available to third parties (service partners). When submitting the request, the service partners to be restricted can also be named.

It is important to note that cooperation with certain service providers is essential for site operation (e.g., Barion as a payment service provider), so restricting them would make site services inaccessible to the user.

www.evolutionspeedskating.hu requests proof of identity before restricting personal data transfer to prevent abusive use.

In Hungary, the official authority dealing with data protection is the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (NAIH). Users can learn more about their data protection rights on the NAIH website.
