2. WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO WE PROCESS, AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE?
Personal data refers to any information that makes it possible to clearly identify an individual. On the website www.artlizdesign.hu we process the following types of personal data, along with the precise legal basis for doing so:
COMMUNICATION DATA
This includes any message sent to us via the website, e-mail, social media, or any other form of communication. These data are processed and retained in order to fulfill orders and to serve as evidence in case of potential legal claims. The legal basis for processing these data is the user’s legitimate interest in our activities, which is expressed through their communication with us.
USER DATA
This includes information generated during the use of the website that ensures the technical functionality of the site, safeguards its security, stores backups of user activities, and provides users with the most relevant content possible. The legal basis for processing these data is the user’s legitimate interest in our activities, which requires storing these data to ensure technical operation and security.
TECHNICAL DATA
This includes information such as IP address, login details, browser type, time spent on pages, page views and navigation paths, number and timing of visits, time zones, and device details used to access the site. The source of these data is our analytics software. These data are processed to analyze user behavior on the site, to ensure its secure operation, and to measure the effectiveness of marketing decisions. The legal basis for processing is the user’s legitimate interest in our activities, which enables us to process these data for security purposes and to improve our business performance.
MARKETING DATA
This includes user preferences regarding what marketing content they wish to receive from us. These data are processed to enable participation in prize draws and to send marketing content related to the products/services in which the user has expressed interest. The legal basis for processing is the user’s legitimate interest in our activities, which allows us to process these data in line with security expectations and to improve business performance.
Collected data may also be used for purposes such as providing targeted, relevant advertising on the Facebook™ platform or other dynamic advertising channels, and to measure the effectiveness of these campaigns. The legal basis remains the user’s legitimate interest in our activities.
We do not collect sensitive personal data such as ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, health information, or genetic/biometric data.
3. HOW DO WE COLLECT DATA?
Personal data may be collected when users directly provide it to us (e.g., by placing an order or sending a message). In addition, certain data are automatically collected through the use of the website, for example via “cookies” or similar technologies, which are only activated once the user gives their consent.
We may also receive certain data from third-party partners, such as:
Analytics providers (e.g. Google, based outside the EU)
Advertising networks (e.g. Facebook™, based outside the EU)
Payment service providers (e.g. Stripe, based outside the EU)
4. OUR PRACTICAL DATA PROTECTION MEASURES
At ARTLIZDESIGN we place great importance on protecting user data and ensuring compliance with applicable regulations. Following a data protection impact assessment on our site, we compiled a list of the data we collect, their necessity, legal basis, and compliance with the law.
We use SSL certification (Let’s Encrypt Authority X3) across the entire website to protect data entered in forms and generated during site use.
To defend against attacks, we use premium security software (iThemes Security Pro) that protects stored data against “brute force” attacks and malware.
In our databases, purchase and user data are stored in encrypted (pseudonymized) form, making them unreadable to third parties.
Through this Privacy Policy, we provide users with the opportunity to request information on how their data are handled, as well as to request modification or deletion of their personal data.
At times, it may be necessary to share data with essential service providers (e.g. hosting provider, courier, newsletter software). We always ensure that such partners comply with GDPR, and in the case of US-based providers, participate in the EU-US Privacy Shield initiative, and we enter into data processing agreements with them to ensure responsible handling of personal data.
5. MARKETING COMMUNICATION
Marketing communication is essential to the operation of our business. The legal basis for this type of data processing is either the user’s legitimate interest in our services or their explicit consent.
In line with the EU’s Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we send marketing messages to users if they have purchased from us or explicitly consented to receiving such messages. Users can always withdraw their consent and unsubscribe easily. Each e-mail contains an unsubscribe link, or removal can be requested via info@artlizdesign.hu.
Even after unsubscribing from marketing communication, we may still send messages related strictly to order fulfillment.
6. NOTES ON PERSONAL DATA
Occasionally, we may need to share certain personal data with partners in order to maintain normal business operations, including:
IT service providers and system maintenance providers
Professional partners (e.g. lawyers, accountants, bankers, insurers)
Government bodies requiring reporting on our activities
Payment service providers handling bank card data securely
Courier services fulfilling incoming orders to the given delivery address
International data transfers
In some cases, we may need to share data with partners located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Since such countries may not provide the same level of protection for personal data, EU law restricts such transfers unless adequate safeguards are in place.
When transferring data outside the EEA, we ensure the following:
Data is only transferred to countries deemed adequate by the European Commission.
We only use US-based services that participate in the EU-US Privacy Shield initiative.
If neither of the above apply, we will seek the user’s explicit consent for the transfer, which can be withdrawn at any time.
Links to external sites
Our site may contain links to external websites or embedded codes that enable external services. Clicking these links or using embedded features may allow third parties to collect data about users. While we do our best to carefully vet partners, we have no control over their privacy practices and cannot be held responsible for them.
7. DATA RETENTION
We only retain personal data for as long as is necessary to comply with legal, accounting, or reporting obligations, or as long as required for the proper functioning of the service.
When determining the retention period, we consider the volume, nature, and sensitivity of the data, as well as the potential impact of a data breach. For tax purposes, we must retain billing and purchase records for at least 8 years.
In some cases, we may use anonymized data for statistical purposes, which can be stored indefinitely without further notification.
8. USER RIGHTS
As citizens of the European Union, users of this site are granted the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
a. Right of access
Users may request a copy of their personal data stored by ARTLIZDESIGN. Requests are generally fulfilled free of charge within 14 days. Repeated, abusive, or unfounded requests may incur a reasonable fee and longer processing time. Proof of identity may be requested to prevent misuse.

b. Right to rectification
Users may request corrections to their personal data if it has changed or was entered incorrectly. To request a modification, please contact us at info@artlizdesign.hu.
c. Right to erasure
Users may request the deletion of all their personal data. This will be completed free of charge within 14 days. After deletion, user accounts and purchased materials will no longer be accessible, as personal data is essential for access. Proof of identity may be required before deletion.
d. Right to restrict processing
Users may request restrictions on how their data is shared with third-party service providers. Certain essential providers (e.g. payment processors such as Barion) cannot be restricted, as their services are necessary for the functioning of the website. Proof of identity may be required before such restrictions are applied.
