PROCESSING OF CONTRACTUAL PARTNERS' DATA
Gepida Online Kft. processes the personal data of natural persons contracted as customers, suppliers, or under other legal relationships (e.g., commissioned subcontractors) on the legal basis of contract performance for the purposes of preparing, concluding, fulfilling, or terminating contracts, and providing contractual discounts. The processed data includes the person's name, tax identification number/tax number, business ID number, personal ID card number, address or registered office/branch address, phone number, email address containing the person's name, and bank account number. Such data processing is lawful and permissible even before the conclusion of a contract if necessary to take steps at the request of the data subject (e.g., requesting a quotation or providing a technical proposal). In such cases, the legal basis for data processing is the legitimate interest of one or more parties. For contractual partners, recipients of the personal data may include employees of the company responsible for customer service tasks (primarily sales representatives), employees managing accounting and taxation tasks, and data processors. According to legal regulations:
Contractual data is retained for an additional five years (a total of up to six years) from the end of the calendar year in which the contract terminates.
For data required under record-keeping obligations, retention extends to an additional eight years (a total of up to nine years) from the end of the calendar year in which the contract terminates. Gepida Online Kft. informs the data subject in advance that data processing is based on the legal title of contract performance and serves the interests of both contracting parties. This notification is provided during pre-contract negotiations, either verbally or in writing, and is included in the final contract. The data subject is also informed if their data is shared with a data processor (e.g., an accountant). Gepida Online Kft. processes and stores the contact information of natural persons representing legal entity clients, business partners, customers, suppliers, and subcontractors. The purpose of such data processing is business communication, which can only be effectively and evidently conducted through natural persons. The legal basis for this is the performance of the contract concluded with the other party. This includes processing the data of corporate representatives, contacts, and performance verifiers of contractual partners. The name of the natural person, their workplace or office address, workplace phone number, and email address containing their name. The storage of personal data – if the contact person's data is physically separable from the contract – lasts until the business relationship between the parties ends, the individual's status as a representative ceases, or 30 days after receiving the individual's deletion request. However, if the contact person's data is included as an inseparable part of the contract (e.g., embedded in the text), it cannot be independently deleted without damaging the contract.In such cases, the data shares the legal fate of the contract, and the retention period for the contact person's data is five years from the end of the calendar year in which the contract terminates.He storage of physical, paper-based data carriers is conducted in the office and warehouse facilities owned by Gepida Online Kft. Electronically stored data is located within Gepida Online Kft.’s corporate system (a Hungarian-based system or cloud-based server). Personal data related to the performance of contracts is stored on Gepida Online Kft.'s server, on the secure personal computers and notebooks of employees, and on the servers and computers of authorized data processors (e.g., accountants). The retention period for paper-based contracts is two years. Recipients of personal data within the Data Controller's organization may include the management, the company, and relevant employees. Gepida Online Kft.’s contractual data, including personal data contained therein, may be lawfully accessed by authorized individuals, such as those handling client data in compliance with regulations:
-

DATA PROCESSING BASED ON THE DATA SUBJECT'S CONSENT
(VOLUNTARY DATA PROVISION)
The purpose of using voluntarily provided personal data at Gepida Online Kft. is multifaceted. These purposes may include ensuring high-quality customer service, operating a quality management system (e.g., complaint handling), providing necessary information to existing and prospective customers (e.g., website browsing, newsletters, surveys, sweepstakes, community events, information sharing on social media platforms), and performing direct marketing activities (e.g., newsletters, market research). The scope of data collected, processed, and utilized in this manner is limited to the extent necessary and is determined as narrowly as possible by the Data Controller. The specific data scope varies depending on the purpose, such as: name, contact information (e.g., residential or notification address, phone number, email address, online identifier, internet profile), customer habits, image and sound recordings, photographs.
At the time of data collection, Gepida Online Kft. provides the data subject with the following information:
-
The identity and contact details of the Data Controller and their representative, as well as the processors;
-
The purpose of the intended processing of personal data and the legal basis for processing;
-
In specific cases, the recipients of the personal data or the categories of recipients, if applicable;
-
The duration of personal data storage or, if it is not possible to determine at the time, the criteria used to establish that duration;
-
The rights of the data subject to request access to, rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing of their personal data from the Data Controller, as well as the right to object to such processing and the right to data portability;
-
The right to withdraw consent at any time, which does not affect the lawfulness of data processing based on consent before its withdrawal;
-
The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
The data subject may withdraw their explicit or implied consent to data processing at any time. The Data Controller also emphasizes that the withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of data processing based on consent before its withdrawal and does not necessarily and immediately result in the deletion of personal data if the Data Controller can process the data on another legal basis that replaces consent (e.g., for legitimate interests, claims arising from a breach of contract concluded in the meantime, or claims for damages caused outside of a contract). If the provision of personal data is not voluntary, the data subject will be informed about data processing based on legal or contractual obligations or that data collection is a prerequisite for entering into a contract. Furthermore, they will be informed whether they are required to provide personal data in such cases and the potential consequences of failing to provide such data.
SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS

Social media leverages the internet and online presence opportunities to enable users to transition from content consumers to content creators. Social media platforms are online applications that feature user-generated content, such as Facebook, Google+, Twitter, etc. The forms of social media presence may include public speeches, presentations, demonstrations, or the introduction of products or services. Information shared on social media may take the form of forums, blog posts, images, videos, audio files, message boards, email messages, etc. Accordingly, the scope of processed data, in addition to personal data, may also include the user's public profile picture.

NEWSLETTER
Visitors to the Company's website at https://gepida.hu can register for the newsletter service. To do so, they must provide their email address explicitly and clearly, which will be stored by the Data Controller. Furthermore, to activate the newsletter, the prospective recipient must review and accept the current Privacy Policy of Gepida Online Kft. Acceptance is completed by checking the designated checkbox. The user must fill out the checkbox, ensuring that the consent is always given explicitly and directly, without implied behavior. The data subject may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by using the "Unsubscribe" feature in the newsletter or by submitting a written statement or email to the Company. Unsubscribing also constitutes the withdrawal of their consent to data processing. The Data Controller will promptly delete all data of the unsubscribed individual from the recipient list and its electronic system within a reasonable processing time for the deletion request, provided it is technically feasible (see the section on saved databases). The "Unsubscribe" link is located at the bottom of the newsletter, and its functionality is continuously monitored by the Data Controller. The purpose of processing personal data is to send newsletters about the Company’s products and services, as well as to distribute promotional materials and advertisements to existing and potential customers. The legal basis for data processing is the consent of the data subject. The data subject may withdraw their consent at any time, but such withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of data processing carried out based on consent before its withdrawal. Gepida Kft. uses the Mailchimp newsletter system and conducts related analytics (e.g., determining which subpages of the website were visited by a user associated with a specific IP address). Personal (corporate contact) data required for sending newsletters is stored in the Mailchimp system, whose servers are located in the United States, operated by various local data centers.
The scope of personal data that may be processed in connection with the newsletter service includes the natural person's name (surname, first name), email address, and the subscription date.
Recipients of the personal data are Gepida Online Kft.'s employees responsible for customer service and marketing activities. Data may be transferred to data processors (the Company’s IT service provider, hosting provider, and newsletter system provider).

SOCIAL MEDIA GUIDELINES (FACEBOOK, LINKEDIN)
Gepida Online Kft. operates a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/GepidaBikes/ and a LinkedIn profile at https://www.linkedin.com/company/gepida-bicycles-olimpia-kerékpár-kft to introduce and promote its products, services, business policies, events, and projects. On the Facebook social media platform, Gepida Online Kft. does not process personal data posted by visitors and cannot assume responsibility for such data, as the platform is used as a free service accessible to anyone. The data controller is the operator of the Facebook website. Consequently, visitors are subject to Facebook's own privacy and service terms, available at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation. Questions or notifications submitted on Gepida Online Kft.'s Facebook page do not qualify as officially filed complaints. Therefore, Gepida Online Kft. explicitly and consistently requests that such communications be made through other channels. In cases of unlawful or offensive content publication, Gepida Online Kft. reserves the right to exclude the individual from the group of members (profile followers) or delete their comment without prior notice. Gepida Online Kft. assumes no responsibility for any content or comments posted by Facebook users that violate legal regulations, as it has no influence over such posts. Upon becoming aware of such content, Gepida Online Kft. will promptly remove it from its Facebook page, provided the technical capability exists.
Gepida Online Kft. is not liable for any errors, malfunctions, or issues arising from changes in the Facebook platform’s operation, such as data loss, data theft, or similar incidents.
JOB APPLICATIONS, RESUMES
For job applications containing personal data, Gepida Online Kft. does not differentiate between the methods of submission: resumes submitted on paper and those sent electronically are treated equally. The purpose of processing the data of applicants is to evaluate the application, organize a multi-stage selection process, fill vacant positions, potentially establish future employment relationships, select a suitable candidate, and conclude an employment contract with the selected individual. The legal basis for data processing in this case is the consent of the applicant to allow their data to be reviewed and recorded. Gepida Online Kft. collects and processes the following personal data—provided voluntarily—in connection with job postings, always adhering to the principles of necessity and proportionality: name, title, date of birth (year is sufficient), home or correspondence address, qualifications, certifications, previous employment details, photo (optional), phone number, email address, and employer notes taken during the job interview. Beyond the above data, any additional personal data voluntarily provided by the applicant without being requested or against explicit employer instructions is treated confidentially by the Data Controller, and any media containing such data is destroyed as soon as possible. The recipients of the personal data are the manager exercising employer rights at Gepida Online Kft., the prospective immediate workplace supervisor, and other employees performing HR-related tasks. Personal data is stored in both paper and electronic formats until the application process concludes and the applications are evaluated. The Data Controller deletes the personal data of applicants not selected for the position from its records. Similarly, the personal data of applicants who withdraw their application before the conclusion of the process is also deleted.
ACCIDENTAL DATA PROVISION AND UNINTENTIONAL DATA DISCLOSURE
Gepida Online Kft. does not primarily aim to process or handle the personal data of individuals. If personal data is acquired without a legal basis as a result of intentional or negligent behavior, omission, error, or for any other reason, the company will destroy the data and, if possible, notify the data subject of the incident. (For example, in cases where an email is received due to incorrect addressing.)
INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER
Gepida Online Kft. transfers data abroad through its chat service, ensuring the protection of personal data in accordance with the rules outlined by the service provider at https://molin.ai/terms-privacy?utm_source=chatgpt.com.
DATA TRANSFER TO BICYCLE SHOPS

DATA STORAGE METHOD AND DATA PROCESSING SECURITY
Gepida Online Kft., as a responsible Data Controller, has implemented the necessary technical and organizational measures and established procedural rules to ensure the security of personal data processed for any purpose and legal basis, in compliance with the provisions of the GDPR and the Hungarian Info Act.
Gepida Online Kft. protects personal data in its possession with appropriate measures against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, damage, unauthorized disclosure, or unauthorized access, as well as against unavailability caused by changes in the applied technology. The same level of care is required from natural or legal persons processing the data, with obligations formalized in contracts.
Gepida Online Kft.'s IT systems and other data storage locations are hosted on the servers of Shoprenter Kft. (address: 4028 Debrecen, Kassai út 129.), which acts as a web content provider.
Gepida Online Kft. selects and operates the IT tools and processes used for handling and processing personal data to ensure that the data:
-
is accessible only to authorized individuals;
-
its authenticity and verification are ensured;
-
its integrity is guaranteed;
-
is protected against unauthorized access.
The Data Controller protects the IT systems it uses to process personal data with firewalls and antivirus software. Taking into account the current state of technology, it ensures the security of data processing through technical, organizational, and structural measures that provide a level of protection appropriate to the risks associated with data processing. The components of Gepida Online Kft.'s IT system, configurations, IT equipment manufacturers, software details, security settings, and firewall types constitute business secrets and are considered confidential information. For this reason, their specific details cannot be disclosed in this Privacy Policy. In the case of a justified and reviewed request or related legal dispute, Gepida Online Kft. will provide the relevant information to the data subject or an official body. Gepida Online Kft. explicitly informs its customers and other data subjects that electronic messages transmitted via the internet—regardless of protocol (email, web, FTP, etc.)—are vulnerable to network threats that may lead to unfair activities, disputes over agreements, or the disclosure or alteration of information. The company takes all reasonable precautions to mitigate such threats. To protect personal data, Gepida Online Kft. ensures the monitoring of incoming and outgoing electronic communications (emails), as well as spam filtering. Access to personal data is restricted within the organization by assigning specific authorization levels and establishing rights to access and use data based on job roles. For instance, documents being processed during daily work are accessible only to authorized personnel. Personal data processed by Gepida Online Kft. is primarily accessible to authorized internal employees. The company does not share this data with third parties except based on a legitimate interest (e.g., debt management), legal obligations, or with the explicit prior consent of the user/data subject. Beyond physical and IT protection, the human factor is also critical. Employee awareness is cultivated and maintained through careful selection, training, information sharing, supervision, and regular updates on best practices—all in the interest of data protection. Backup Databases: Maintaining backup copies of electronic databases is both a legal obligation and a legitimate interest. It is essential for fulfilling obligations towards third parties and for restoring old data in the event of damage or data loss. Data cannot be deleted from backups, only from the active database. Access to backups is restricted to the system administrator, who may only use them for restoration purposes in case of system failure.
RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT AND THE EXERCISE OF RIGHTS
A data subject entering into a data processing relationship with Gepida Online Kft. has the right to:
receive confirmation from the Data Controller as to whether their personal data is being processed, and if so, access their personal data and the following information;
request that the Data Controller rectify inaccurate personal data concerning them without undue delay; considering the purposes of data processing, the data subject may also have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement;
request that the Data Controller erase their personal data without undue delay, and the Data Controller is obliged to erase the personal data without undue delay under certain conditions;
request that the Data Controller restrict the processing of their data if one of the following conditions is met:
-
the data subject contests the accuracy of the personal data, in which case the restriction applies for a period that allows the Data Controller to verify the accuracy of the data;
-
the processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the data and instead requests the restriction of their use;
-
the Data Controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or
-
the data subject has objected to processing; in this case, the restriction applies until it is determined whether the Data Controller's legitimate reasons override those of the data subject.
receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a Data Controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format (e.g., WORD, PDF, EXCEL, etc.), and have the right to request the direct transfer of these personal data to another Data Controller, if technically feasible;
object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for direct marketing purposes, including profiling to the extent that it is related to direct marketing.
The Data Controller informs all recipients to whom personal data have been disclosed of any rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing unless this proves impossible or requires disproportionate effort. Upon request, the Data Controller shall provide the data subject with information about these recipients. The data subject, in cases of consent-based data processing, may withdraw their previous consent at any time. However, this withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal based on the consent given. If the data subject objects to the processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes, these personal data can no longer be processed for this purpose. For requests regarding the provision of information, deletion, or rectification of personal data, the Data Controller has 30 days to respond. If the Data Controller does not fulfill such a request, it must provide the reasons for refusal in writing within 30 days. The company strives—through the establishment of physical and personnel resources—to fully comply with the deletion requests justified by the data subject. However, the data subject should note that even after the withdrawal of consent (or the termination of another legal basis), the company may retain data required for fulfilling legal obligations or asserting its legitimate interests. This retention depends on individual consideration and the feasibility of implementation. For example:
Legal obligations include compliance with financial audits, which require payment data stored in the database.
Legitimate interest may involve maintaining the integrity of the database. For technical reasons (due to the structure of the databases), it may not be possible to delete data that is closely tied to other data (e.g., foreign keys).
Legal obligation and legitimate interest, as well as obligations to third parties, include retaining backup copies to ensure the database can be restored in case of damage. Data cannot be deleted from backup copies, only from the live database. Backup copies are accessible only to the system administrator and may only be used for restoration in case of a system failure.
Legitimate interest may also include the extraction of statistical data from the database.
If the data subject disagrees with the circumstances of data processing (including its legal basis, purpose, method, etc.) or with any potential refusal, they may submit a complaint to the supervisory authority (see below). In the event of a data protection incident within the Gepida Online Kft. system that is likely to pose a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the Data Controller shall inform the data subject about the data protection incident without undue delay.
INCIDENT MANAGEMENT
A data protection incident refers to a breach of the integrity and confidentiality of personal data. Such risky or harmful situations pose a threat to the Data Controller, just as they do to any other data owner. Gepida Online Kft. strives to minimize risks that may affect customer data. Gepida Online Kft. respectfully requests that if data subjects detect a data protection incident or an event suggesting such an incident related to the Data Controller’s operations, involving their own or others' personal data, they notify the company's management without delay.
Channels for reporting data protection incidents:
Company's central email address: support@gepida.hu
Company's central phone number: +36 (1) 400 6065
In the event of a data protection incident, the Managing Director of Gepida Online Kft. identifies and isolates the affected systems, individuals, and data. The next step involves collecting and preserving evidence supporting the occurrence of the incident. Following this, efforts are directed toward damage remediation and restoring lawful operations. Gepida Online Kft. maintains a record of data protection incidents. The data protection incident is reported to the supervisory authority without undue delay and, where feasible, no later than 72 hours after becoming aware of it, unless the incident is unlikely to pose a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. Where required by law, the data subject is also clearly and comprehensibly informed about the nature of the incident, any potential harm, and the measures taken to address it.
THE DATA PROTECTION AUTHORITY
The data subject may contact the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information with any complaints: Address: 1125 Budapest, Szilágyi Erzsébet fasor 22/C., Mailing address: 1530 Budapest, Pf.: 5. Phone: +36 1 391 1400, Fax: +36 1 391 1410, Email: ugyfelszolgalat@naih.hu, Website: http://www.naih.hu

Dear Interested Party! For data processing activities not listed in this Privacy Policy, Gepida Online Kft. provides information to the data subject at the time the data is collected—upon the establishment of the legal relationship forming the basis of the data processing—for example, in the case of processing the data of contractual partners, contact persons, or employees. Gepida Online Kft. does not always verify the personal data it receives or collects. Therefore, the responsibility for the appropriateness and accuracy of the provided personal data lies with the individual who supplies the data.

If Gepida Online Kft. plans to share the personal data it lawfully possesses with recipients other than those listed in this Privacy Policy, the company will inform the data subject about the fact, legal basis, recipient's name, and other essential details of the data processing or transfer no later than the first disclosure or transfer of the personal data. Administrative bodies, investigative authorities, the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, or other organizations authorized by law may contact Gepida Online Kft. to request information, disclose data, transfer data, or provide documents. In such cases, the company's employees act in compliance with applicable legal regulations. As the Data Controller, Gepida Online Kft. reserves the right to unilaterally modify the content of this Privacy Policy and its mandatory provisions, with simultaneous notification to the data subjects. This is particularly necessary if the range of services expands, the technical system changes, or the law requires such modifications. However, such changes cannot lead to the processing of personal data for purposes other than the original intent.
Dear Interested Party, If you did not find the necessary information regarding the data processing or data handling affecting you in this Privacy Policy, please do not hesitate to contact Gepida Online Kft. with confidence!
