We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is a particularly high priority for the management of Blaguss Travel Ltd. The use of the Internet pages of the Blaguss Travel Ltd. is possible without any indication of personal data. The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Blaguss Travel Ltd. By means of this privacy policy, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.

As the controller, Blaguss Travel Ltd. has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

i) Third party

Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

3. Cookies

The Internet pages of Blaguss Travel Ltd. use necessary cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.

The legal basis of the data processing regarding the use of necessary cookies is the legitimate interest of Blaguss Travel Ltd. to comply with section 13 (1)-(3) of the Act CVIII of 2001 and Art. 5 (3) of 2002/58/EC Directive.

4. Collection of general data and information

The website of Blaguss Travel Ltd. collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files.

The following categories of data may be collected (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, the Blaguss Travel Ltd. does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack.

Therefore, Blaguss Travel Ltd. analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Subscription to our newsletters

On the website of Blaguss Travel Ltd., users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise’s newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.

Blaguss Travel Ltd. informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise’s newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter.(i.e. if the data subject gives his/her consent to such data process in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR). A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.

The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical circumstances. The personal data collected lands in the system of our newsletter service provider: MailChimp.

The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given to receive the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by sending a message to marketing@blagussdmc.com or a letter to the above address of the company.

6. Contact possibility via the website

The website of Blaguss Travel Ltd. contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

7. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

He or she shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent or on a contract, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

9. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In some cases if the data is necessary to enter into a contract or if the provision of personal data is a statutory requirement and the data subject fails to provide such data, we might not be able to conclude the contract with you or provide certain services. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

The following personal data might be collected (necessary for the performance of a contract):

In case of conference/congress registration:
name, title/prefix, workplace, position, address, spoken languages, place of residence in Hungary, professional membership number, phone number, e-mail address, information on physiological conditions (food intolerance, allergy, disability), nationality, circle of interest, data of travel documents, date and place of birth

In case of provision of incoming services:
name, spoken language, place of residence in Hungary, phone number, information on physiological conditions (food intolerance, allergy, disability), nationality, circle of interest, data of travel documents, date and place of birth

In case of meeting of obligations and the exercise of rights arising from the agreement concluded between the data controller (Blaguss) and the business partner:
name, position, contact data (phone number, fax number, e-mail address, address etc.), signature, correspondence, data relating to the performance of the agreement etc.

10. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

11. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is determined by:

  • the respective statutory retention period,
  • the revocation or expiry of the related consent provided, or
  • the expiry of the deadline to enforce legitimate interests regarding the contract for the fulfilment of which the data was stored (in general 5 years after the termination of the contract).

Following the termination of the relevant period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as its keeping is not justified by other overriding legal interests.

12. The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the applicable data protection laws. In case the supervisory authority is the Hungarian Data Protection and Freedom of Information Authority, please find below its contact data:
