4. Cross-Border Data Transfers
The Data Controller primarily processes personal data within the European Economic Area (EEA). However, certain data processors engaged by the Data Controller may transfer personal data outside the EEA, in particular to the United States of America. The following safeguards are in place to ensure an adequate level of data protection in accordance with GDPR Chapter V (Articles 44–49):
4.1. Stripe
Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. is incorporated in Ireland (within the EEA). However, Stripe, Inc. (the parent company) is based in the United States. Personal data transferred to the United States by Stripe is protected under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), which was recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection by its adequacy decision of 10 July 2023 (Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2023/1795). Stripe, Inc. is a certified participant of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Additionally, Stripe employs Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as a supplementary transfer mechanism.
4.2. Google
Google Ireland Limited processes data within the EEA, but data may be transferred to Google LLC in the United States. Such transfers are similarly protected under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, of which Google LLC is a certified participant. Google also implements Standard Contractual Clauses and additional technical safeguards, including encryption of data in transit and at rest.
4.3. Hostinger
Hostinger International Ltd. is incorporated in Lithuania (within the EEA). Hostinger’s data centres serving European customers are located within the EEA. Where any data processing occurs outside the EEA, Hostinger relies on Standard Contractual Clauses and other appropriate safeguards in accordance with GDPR Article 46.
The Data Controller regularly reviews the adequacy of safeguards applied to any cross-border data transfers and will update this Privacy Policy if there are material changes to the transfer mechanisms relied upon.
5. Your Rights
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact the Data Controller using the contact details set out in Section 1 above. The Data Controller will respond to your request without undue delay and in any event within one month of receipt. This period may be extended by a further two months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of requests.
5.1. Right of Access (GDPR Article 15)
You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not your personal data is being processed and, where that is the case, to obtain access to the personal data and the following information: the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned, the recipients or categories of recipients, the envisaged retention period, and the existence of your other rights. You may request a copy of your personal data undergoing processing.
5.2. Right to Rectification (GDPR Article 16)
You have the right to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you also have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
5.3. Right to Erasure (“Right to Be Forgotten”) (GDPR Article 17)
You have the right to obtain the erasure of your personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies: the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected; you withdraw your consent and there is no other legal ground for the processing; you object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds; the data has been unlawfully processed; or the data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation. Please note that this right does not apply where the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (e.g., invoicing data required to be retained under the Accounting Act) or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
5.4. Right to Restriction of Processing (GDPR Article 18)
You have the right to obtain the restriction of processing where one of the following applies: you contest the accuracy of the data (for a period enabling the Data Controller to verify its accuracy); the processing is unlawful and you oppose erasure and request restriction instead; the Data Controller no longer needs the data but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims; or you have objected to the processing pending verification of whether the Data Controller’s legitimate grounds override yours.
5.5. Right to Data Portability (GDPR Article 20)
You have the right to receive your personal data that you have provided to the Data Controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance, where the processing is based on consent or on a contract and the processing is carried out by automated means.
5.6. Right to Object (GDPR Article 21)
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your personal data which is based on the legitimate interest of the Data Controller (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)).

5.7. Right to Withdraw Consent (GDPR Article 7(3))
Where the processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

5.8. Right Not to Be Subject to Automated Decision-Making (GDPR Article 22)
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. The Data Controller does not carry out automated decision-making or profiling.
6. Right to Lodge a Complaint
If you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR or applicable data protection legislation, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement (GDPR Article 77).
The competent supervisory authority in Hungary is:

Furthermore, you have the right to an effective judicial remedy against a controller or processor where you consider that your rights under the GDPR have been infringed (GDPR Article 79). Such proceedings may be brought before the courts of the Member State where the Data Controller is established or where you have your habitual residence.
