Balázs Varga, Erdősor 32, 2400 Dunaújváros, Hungary · balazsvargaworkshop@gmail.com

Data we collect

• Name, email address and phone number
• Booking, payment and invoicing details
• Notes from your consultation
• Testimonials, photos or recordings, only if you choose to provide them or consent to them

When you send a message through the contact form, we receive the information you provide: your first and last name, email address, phone number (optional), your topic of interest and your message.

Why we use your data and on what legal basis

• To register you, deliver the Service and communicate with you about it: performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b))
• To issue invoices and keep accounting and tax records: legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c))
• To check eligibility and to establish, exercise or defend legal claims: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f))
• To send newsletters and offers, and to publish testimonials or photos: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time
• To handle any health or other sensitive information you choose to share: your explicit consent (Art. 9(2)(a))

Workshop recordings

A workshop is recorded only if the participants consent to it (Art. 6(1)(a)). The recordings focus mainly on Balázs speaking and are used to create future videos, for example for this website and social media. If you do not consent, you will not appear in any published video. If you withdraw your consent, parts showing you will no longer be used in new videos.

Sensitive information

Please do not send health or other sensitive information unless it is needed for your consultation.

Who receives your data

Only service providers that help us run the business, for example Stripe (payments), the video platform used for online sessions, Google (email) and Tárhely.Eu (website hosting), plus authorities where the law requires it. Providers act on our instructions under a data processing agreement.

Bookings are paid through Stripe. Payment details are entered directly on Stripe’s secure checkout page and are never stored on this website.

Transfers outside the EEA

Some providers may process data outside the EEA. In that case we rely on an adequacy decision or on safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

How long we keep it

• Invoices and accounting records: 8 years, as required by Hungarian accounting law
• Booking and consultation records: until your last booked session
• Newsletter data: until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent
• Testimonials and photos: until you withdraw consent
• Workshop recordings: for as long as they are used to create videos, or until you withdraw consent

Your rights

You may ask us for access to your data, correction, erasure, restriction of processing and portability, and you may object to processing based on legitimate interest. You may withdraw consent at any time; this does not affect processing done before withdrawal. Contact: balazsvargaworkshop@gmail.com.

Complaints

You may complain to the Hungarian supervisory authority, the Nemzeti Adatvédelmi és Információszabadság Hatóság (NAIH, naih.hu), or to the supervisory authority in your own country.

Do you have to give us your data?

Name, email and age confirmation are needed to book. Without them we cannot register you. Everything else is optional.

Messaging and social media

If you contact us via WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook or TikTok, the privacy policy of the respective platform also applies to that communication.
