- HOW DO WE COLLECT DATA?
We may collect personal data in a manner where the user directly provides it to us (for example, by placing an order or sending a message).
Additionally, certain data is collected automatically during the use of the site, for example, using cookies and similar technologies. These will only become active after the user has given their consent.
For more information, please refer to our Cookie Policy.
We also receive certain data from external partners, such as analytical service providers like Google (non-EU partner), advertising networks like Facebook™ (non-EU partner), and payment service partners like PayPal (non-EU partner) and Barion.
- OUR DATA PROTECTION PRACTICES
For prodogs.hu and prodogsforsale.com, protecting user data and complying with applicable regulations is extremely important. Therefore, after conducting a data protection impact assessment, we have compiled a list of the collected data, its necessity, legal basis, and compliance with the law.
To protect the data provided through forms and generated on the site, we use SSL certification across the entire website (Let’s Encrypt Authority X3 certification).
To protect the site from attacks, we use premium security software (iThemes Security Pro) to safeguard against so-called “brute force” and virus attacks.
Customer and user data in our databases are stored in an encrypted form (pseudonymized) to prevent reading by external parties.
In this privacy notice, we provide users with the means to request information about the handling of their personal data, modify it, or delete it through forms.
Occasionally, for business purposes, we need to share data with service partners (such as hosting providers, courier companies, newsletter software).
In such cases, we always choose partners who comply with GDPR requirements, and for US-based partners, we ensure participation in the EU-US Privacy Shield data protection initiative and sign data processing agreements to ensure responsible data management.
- MARKETING COMMUNICATION
Marketing communication is essential for our business activities. The legal basis for processing data related to this is the demonstration of interest in our services or the user’s explicit consent.
According to the European Union’s Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we send marketing messages to our users if they have made a purchase from us or have explicitly consented to receive marketing messages.
We always provide a clear option to suspend consent and unsubscribe from messages. Every email includes a link to unsubscribe, or removal from the database can be requested at prodogsforsale@gmail.com.
Even if you unsubscribe from marketing communications, we may still send messages related to order fulfillment.
- NOTE ON PERSONAL DATA
Occasionally, it is necessary to share certain personal data with specific partners to maintain normal business operations:
- IT service providers and those performing troubleshooting and maintenance on computing systems
- Expert partners such as lawyers, accountants, bankers, insurers
- Government agencies requesting reports on our activities
- Payment service providers securely handling credit card data
- Courier services fulfilling orders to the provided delivery address
International Data Transfers
We may need to share user data with service partners outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to maintain business operations.
Non-EEA countries often do not provide the same level of data protection, so European laws prohibit data export without meeting certain conditions.
Whenever personal data is transferred outside the EEA, in addition to the steps discussed in point 4, we take the following measures to ensure secure handling of the data:
- We only transfer data to countries deemed adequate for data protection by the European Commission.
- We only use US-based services that are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield data protection initiative.
If the above conditions are not met, we will seek the explicit consent of users for the data transfer. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
Links to External Sites
This site may occasionally contain links to external sites or embedded code snippets that provide functionality from external services.
Clicking these links or using embedded solutions may allow external partners to collect data about users.
Although we make efforts to review our partners, we have no control over their privacy practices and are not responsible for their data management principles.
- DATA RETENTION PERIOD
We retain user data only for as long as required by legal/accounting/data reporting obligations, or as necessary for the operation of our services.
When deciding on the retention period, we consider the quantity, nature, and sensitivity of the data, and the potential impact of its breach in the event of a data protection incident.
For tax purposes, we are required to keep billing and purchase data for at least 8 years to comply with our legal obligations.
Under certain circumstances, we may use anonymized data for statistical purposes, in which case we store the data indefinitely without notice.
