We receive certain data from external partners, such as analytics providers like Google (non-EU partner), advertising networks such as Facebook™ (non-EU partner), and payment service providers such as PayPal (non-EU partner), Barion, or Stripe.
Protecting users’ data and complying with applicable regulations is of utmost importance for sandorfoto.hu and Sándor Szabó sole proprietor. Therefore, after conducting a data protection impact assessment, we prepared a detailed record of the types of data collected, their necessity, their legal basis, and their compliance with relevant laws.
At times, it is necessary for our business operations to share data with certain service providers (such as hosting providers, courier services, or newsletter software providers).
In such cases, we only select partners who comply with GDPR requirements. For partners based in the USA, we ensure they participate in an appropriate EU–US data protection framework and sign a data processing agreement with us, guaranteeing the responsible handling of personal data.
Marketing communication is an essential part of our business activities. The legal basis for processing data related to this communication is the user’s demonstrated interest in our services or their explicit consent.
In accordance with the European Union Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we may send marketing messages to users who have purchased from us or have explicitly consented to receiving marketing communications.
A hozzájárulás felfüggesztését, és az üzenetekről való leiratkozást minden esetben jól látható módon lehetővé tesszük. Minden egyes e-mail alján megtalálható a leiratkozáshoz szükséges link, vagy az adatbázisból való eltávolítás kérhető a sandor@sandorfoto.hu e-mail címen.
Even after unsubscribing from marketing communication, we may still send messages related strictly to the fulfilment of orders.

– IT service providers and technical maintenance partners who perform troubleshooting and system upkeep
– Professional partners such as lawyers, accountants, bankers, and insurance providers

International Data Transfers
At times, it may be necessary to share user data with service providers located outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to maintain normal business operations.
Countries outside the EEA may not always provide the same level of data protection, and therefore European law restricts the transfer of data unless appropriate safeguards are in place.
Whenever personal data is transferred outside the EEA, in addition to the measures described in section 4, we also take the following steps to ensure secure data handling:
– We only transfer data to countries deemed adequate by the European Commission in terms of data protection.
We only use US-based service providers that comply with the current EU–US Data Privacy Framework or apply other EU-approved data transfer safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission.
If the above conditions are not met, we will request the user’s explicit consent for the data transfer. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
Links to External Websites
This website may occasionally contain links to external sites or embedded code snippets that enable the functionality of external services.
Clicking these links or using embedded features may allow external partners to collect data about users.
While we do our best to review our partners, we have no control over their privacy practices and cannot be held responsible for how they handle data.
We retain user data only for as long as required by legal, accounting, or reporting obligations, or as long as it is necessary for operating our services.
When determining how long data should be stored, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, as well as the potential impact of any data breach.
For taxation purposes, we are required to retain billing and purchase data for at least 8 years to meet our legal obligations.
Under certain circumstances, we may use anonymised data for statistical purposes, in which case such data may be stored indefinitely without further notification.
