Introduction
Purpose of the Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy outlines how Adam collects, uses, and protects personal information. It informs users about their rights and measures taken to safeguard their data while ensuring compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Hungarian Data Protection Act.
Overview of data protection principles
Adam is committed to adhering to data protection principles, ensuring that personal data is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently. This includes collecting only necessary data, securing it against unauthorized access, and maintaining data accuracy while respecting users’ rights.
Information Collection
Types of personal information collected
Adam may collect personal data such as name, contact details, and any relevant information shared via website interactions, email communication, or voluntary submissions. Data may also be collected from publicly accessible platforms, like social media or public forums, where users have made their information available.
How information is collected
In addition to direct interactions and email exchanges, personal data is gathered from public online sources where users have chosen to make their information accessible.
Categories of non-personal data collected
Adam may collect non-personal data, such as aggregated usage statistics, device information, IP addresses, and browser types, to improve website functionality and user experience. This information does not identify individual users and is used for analytical purposes.
Information Use
Purpose of data processing
Adam processes personal data to ensure the functionality of the website, manage customer interactions, carry out marketing activities, and facilitate business operations, including sales and customer support. Data is also used to provide services, process transactions, and comply with legal obligations.
Legal bases for processing personal data
The legal bases for processing personal data include user consent, the performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, and Adam’s legitimate interests, such as conducting business, improving services, and targeted marketing.
Information Share
Third parties with whom data may be shared
Adam uses third-party service providers (such as Odoo and HubSpot) to facilitate the operation of his website, customer relationship management, and marketing activities. These service providers act solely as data processors, meaning they handle personal data only on Adam’s behalf and in accordance with his instructions.
Situations in which data sharing occurs
Personal data may be shared with these processors for the purposes of hosting, managing customer relationships, marketing analytics, and ensuring smooth website operations. These processors are contractually obligated to comply with applicable data protection laws, ensuring the security and confidentiality of the data.
Data Security
Measures taken to protect personal data
Adam is committed to implementing strong data protection standards to secure your personal information. Through the use of reliable third-party platforms and hosting solutions like Odoo for both website development and secure data storage, various security protocols are applied to reduce risks. These measures include:
- Third-Party Security Practices: Adam relies on established platforms such as Odoo, HubSpot, Meta, LinkedIn, and others, each of which implements their own security protocols in compliance with international standards. These platforms utilize encryption, access controls, and other safeguards to secure personal data.
- • No Backend Access: Adam has limited control over the backend and database security, as Odoo manages this aspect of the website. As such, the security of the system relies heavily on Odoo’s infrastructure, which is designed to meet industry best practices for data protection.
- • Vendor Trust: Adam carefully selects third-party services that comply with data protection regulations such as GDPR. Each third-party vendor is responsible for maintaining their own security protocols to ensure the safeguarding of personal data.
However, no data transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While Adam and these third parties strive to protect your personal data, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
Acknowledgment of inherent risks in data transmission
You acknowledge that Adam cannot guarantee complete security of data during transmission.

- Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transfer it to another data controller if technically feasible.
- Right to Object: You can object to the processing of your personal data, particularly for direct marketing purposes or when processing is based on legitimate interest.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: If Adam relies on your consent to process your data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the legality of processing done prior to withdrawal.
