Privacy and data

What the form sends

When you send the form, it passes on the name you typed, the contact details you chose to give and your message: which place, what should change, where it can be checked and how you know the place. The address and language of the page you wrote from are added. A hidden field that people do not see is there only to stop automated spam.

How messages are used

Messages are kept by a form service and read together at the next revision of the directory. They are used only to check and apply what you report, and you get a reply only if you ask for one and leave a contact. Names and contact details are never published, sold or passed on to the club, school or organiser concerned; a correction shown on the site describes the change, not the person who sent it.

Counting visits

Visits are counted by a script served from this site’s own domain. It sets no cookie and does not follow anyone across other sites. For each page view it records the page, the page that linked to it, and the browser, device type and country derived from the request; these figures are only ever looked at in total.

No outside services

Budapest Chess pages pull in nothing from outside: no adverts, no social media buttons, no tracking code of other companies, no web fonts, map tiles or images hosted elsewhere. Following a source link or the map button takes you to a different website, which has privacy rules of its own. The hosting provider that serves these pages handles technical data such as IP addresses only to the extent that delivering a page needs it.

Your rights under the GDPR

You can ask for a message you sent to be erased or corrected, or for information about what is stored: write again through the form with the same name and contact and say what you would like done. The request is carried out in the form service when messages are next read. You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority, in Hungary the Nemzeti Adatvédelmi és Információszabadság Hatóság (NAIH), or the one of the country where you live.
