Képesbolt

Privacy Policy

This notice explains what personal data the Képesbolt platform processes, for what purposes and on what legal bases, who receives the data, how long it is retained and what rights data subjects have — under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Hungarian Act CXII of 2011.

Effective and last updated: 26 August 2026

This is an informational translation provided for convenience. In case of any discrepancy, the Hungarian version prevails.

1. Controller

  • Controller: Imre Dobó, sole proprietor (operator of the Képesbolt platform)
  • Seat: Hajnal utca 14. 2/13., 4029 Debrecen, Hungary
  • Tax number: 53669401-1-29
  • Email: doboimre86@gmail.com
  • Phone: +36 30 609 5404
  • No data protection officer has been appointed (not required under Article 37 GDPR).

2. Dual role: controller and processor

Important: for photographer accounts and subscribers to Képesbolt's own newsletter or contact list, the platform operator is the controller. For gallery visitors and customers (parents, family members), the Photographer's own newsletter list and the children depicted in photos, the controller is the Photographer operating the gallery; the platform acts as a processor under Article 28 GDPR, based on the Data Processing Agreement.

If you bought photos in a gallery and wish to exercise your data subject rights, please contact the Photographer operating that gallery as controller first. The platform assists in fulfilling every such request according to the Photographer's instructions.

4. Children's data — special care

Galleries largely contain photos of minors. A child's likeness is personal data requiring special care. Obtaining and keeping records of parental consent for taking and publishing the photos is the Photographer's responsibility. The platform provides built-in safeguards: password protection, email gate, scheduled access and expiry, watermarking, right-click protection and search engine exclusion (noindex).

6. Third-country transfers

Data is primarily stored and processed within the EU or EEA. Where providers or their sub-processors transfer data to a third country — notably the USA or New Zealand — transfers rely on Chapter V GDPR safeguards: adequacy decisions (EU-US Data Privacy Framework; New Zealand adequacy) or, where no adequacy decision applies, the Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC).

  • httpOnly, secure session cookies; gallery access cookies contain no passwords;
  • daily automated database backups retained for 14 days, plus a backup before each version deployment.

Internal AI assistant

The internal assistant uses Ollama Cloud. Messages and relevant account data may be transmitted to this provider. Képesbolt logs conversations and actions for platform administrators; logs currently have no fixed automatic expiry. Read the AI information page for data flows, history, human review and contact information.

Cookieless request statistics

Our own server aggregates requests to a fixed list of public marketing pages by hour, page, language and request type. This counter creates no analytics cookie, browser storage, visitor identifier or fingerprint, and stores no IP address, full user-agent string, referrer, URL query or personal form data. An existing login is verified solely to exclude signed-in administrator, photographer and staff requests; no account identifier is stored in these statistics. It does not measure photographers' shops, galleries or admin pages, and does not link requests to a person. The statistics are not shared with Google or other analytics providers. Records older than 400 days are pruned when the next request is recorded. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control requests are excluded. This is separate from Google Analytics, which still requires your consent.

Visit statistics (Google Analytics 4)

On the public kepesbolt.hu pages — only if you consent in the cookie bar — we use Google Analytics 4 to compile visit statistics: pages viewed, referring source, device and browser type, approximate location and a pseudonymous visitor identifier. The purpose is to measure the effectiveness of the website and our marketing.

Legal basis: consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of the page; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of earlier processing. Processor: Google Ireland Ltd. (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Data may be transferred to the United States under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses.

Google signals and ad personalisation are disabled; Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses. Retention: cookies live for up to 183 days; event-level data is kept in Google Analytics for up to 14 months. We do not use Google Analytics in photographers' shops or galleries, so buyers' data and children's photos are never part of the measurement.

This document applies to the Képesbolt platform. Purchases made in a gallery are governed by the legal documents of the Photographer operating that gallery.
