Information collected

The website may collect identification and contact information such as name, email address, billing address, and country when a customer places an order or contacts the business.

Purchase information may also be collected, including the digital product purchased, transaction details, purchase date, currency, and related order information needed to complete the sale.

Technical information may be collected automatically, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and cookie-related usage data for analytics and website improvement purposes.

If a visitor sends an email or customer support request, the content of that communication and the contact information provided may be stored in order to respond and keep appropriate business records.

Payments

Payments on this website are processed securely through Stripe by credit or debit card.

When a customer enters payment information at checkout, the payment data is transmitted directly to Stripe and processed according to Stripe’s systems and policies.

This website does not store or have access to the customer’s full card number or CVC code.

How information is used

Personal information is used to process orders, deliver purchased ebooks, send transactional emails such as order confirmations and download links, provide customer support, and maintain accounting and tax records required under Hungarian law.

If a visitor separately subscribes to marketing emails or a newsletter, contact information may also be used to send updates, offers, or other promotional communications until the visitor unsubscribes.

Information about website usage may be used to understand visitor behavior, improve pages, measure performance, and support basic fraud prevention and website security.

Legal bases for processing

Where EU data protection rules apply, personal data is processed on one or more of the following bases: performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, consent, and legitimate interests.

Contract performance applies when personal data is needed to complete a purchase and deliver a digital product.

Consent applies to optional newsletter subscriptions and certain non-essential tracking or marketing activities, where used.

Legal obligations apply where data must be retained for accounting, invoicing, or tax compliance purposes.

Cookies and analytics

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate properly, remember user preferences, analyze traffic, and improve content and advertising performance.

Analytics and marketing tools may include services such as Google Analytics or Meta-related tracking tools if enabled on the website.

Visitors can usually control cookies through browser settings, and additional cookie choices may be offered through banner or consent tools used on the site.

Sharing of information

Personal information may be shared only with service providers that help operate the business, such as payment processors, hosting providers, analytics providers, email service providers, invoicing providers, or accountants, and only to the extent reasonably necessary for those purposes.

Based on the current business documentation, service providers may include Websupport Magyarország Kft. for hosting, Billingo Technologies Zrt. for invoicing, Facebook-related services for social media activity, and other tools used for website operation or marketing.

Personal information is not sold or rented to third parties.

International transfers

Because the business is based in Hungary but may use international service providers, personal data may be processed outside the European Economic Area, including by providers located in the United States.

Where required, appropriate safeguards such as contractual protections or provider compliance mechanisms are relied upon for those transfers.

Data retention

Personal data is kept only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, or as long as required by applicable accounting, tax, consumer protection, or other legal obligations.

Certain accounting and transaction records may need to be retained for multiple years under Hungarian law.

Newsletter data is retained until the subscriber unsubscribes or the newsletter service is discontinued.

Your rights

Depending on applicable law, individuals may have the right to request access to their personal data, request correction, request deletion, restrict processing, object to certain processing, or withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Requests related to personal data may be sent to info@starttoexplore.com

Individuals in the European Union may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a relevant supervisory authority.

US Residents

Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to know, correct, delete, or opt out of certain uses of your data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@starttoexplore.com.

Children’s privacy

This website and its digital products are not intended for children, and personal data is not knowingly collected from children.
