Operating the BMM Consulting business unit.

Website: bmmconsult.eu
Email: hello@bmmconsult.eu

For questions about this Privacy Policy or the way we process your personal data, please contact us at the email address above.

2. Personal Data We Collect

Information you provide to us

When you contact BMM Consulting through the contact form on this website, we may collect:

• your name;
• your company name, if provided;
• your email address;
• the contents of your message; and
• any other information you voluntarily include in your enquiry.

If you contact us directly by email, we may also process the information contained in your email and subsequent correspondence.

Please avoid including sensitive personal data in your message unless it is genuinely necessary for your enquiry.

Technical information

When you access the website, our hosting infrastructure may process limited technical information necessary to operate and secure the website, such as:

• IP address;
• browser and device information;
• date and time of requests;
• requested pages or resources;
• technical error information; and
• server and security logs.

Optional analytics information

If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics may process:

• pseudonymous browser and session identifiers;
• pages viewed, referral information, timestamps and general interaction events;
• browser, device, operating-system and screen information;
• approximate geographic information derived from the IP address; and
• your analytics consent state.

Google Analytics uses the IP address transiently to derive location information, but Google states that individual IP addresses are not logged or stored by Google Analytics. We do not send names, email addresses, contact-form contents or other directly identifying information to Google Analytics.

3. How and Why We Use Your Personal Data

We process personal data only where we have a lawful reason to do so.

Responding to enquiries

We use the information submitted through the contact form or sent to us by email to:

• respond to your enquiry;
• understand your business needs;
• discuss potential BMM Consulting services;
• arrange introductory discussions or meetings; and
• take steps requested by you before potentially entering into a business relationship.

Where your enquiry relates to potentially engaging our services, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, which allows processing necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

For general business correspondence that does not fall within pre-contractual processing, we may process the information on the basis of our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, including communicating with people and organisations that contact us and operating our business effectively.

Website operation and security

Technical data and server logs may be processed for purposes including:

• operating and maintaining the website;
• detecting and investigating technical problems;
• preventing abuse, fraud, spam or security incidents; and
• protecting the security and availability of our systems.

The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in operating a reliable and secure website.

Website analytics

If you choose “Accept analytics”, we use Google Analytics to understand which pages are visited and how the website is used, so that we can evaluate and improve the website. The legal basis is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Storage of or access to analytics information on your device also occurs only with your consent under the applicable electronic-communications rules.

You can reject analytics without losing access to the website. You can also withdraw consent at any time through “Cookie settings” in the footer. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Legal obligations

Where necessary, we may process personal data to comply with legal, regulatory, accounting or other obligations applicable to Solid Science Kft.

The legal basis for such processing is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

4. Service Providers and Recipients of Personal Data

We may share personal data with selected service providers where this is necessary to operate our website, manage business communications, or provide our services.

These may include providers of:

• website hosting and technical infrastructure;
• email delivery and business communication services;
• IT and security services; and
• professional services, such as legal or accounting support.

Personal data may also be disclosed to public authorities or other third parties where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Where third-party service providers process personal data on our behalf, we require them to process the data in accordance with applicable data-protection requirements.

If you consent to analytics, Google Ireland Limited provides Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics. Google acts as our processor for the relevant analytics services, subject to Google’s data-processing terms. Google may also process limited data for its own purposes where described in its terms and privacy documentation.

We do not sell or rent personal data.

5. International Data Transfers

Some service providers may process personal data outside Hungary or the European Economic Area, depending on their infrastructure and service configuration.

Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, appropriate safeguards are used in accordance with applicable data-protection law.

These safeguards may include:

• an adequacy decision adopted by the European Commission;
• European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses;
• participation in an applicable recognised data-transfer framework; or
• another lawful transfer mechanism permitted under the GDPR.

Google may use infrastructure or subprocessors outside the European Economic Area. Depending on the recipient and circumstances, transfers may rely on an adequacy decision, including the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, or European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses. Further information is available in Google’s data-processing terms.

6. How Long We Keep Personal Data

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

The appropriate retention period may depend on factors such as:

• the nature and purpose of the communication;
• whether an enquiry develops into a business relationship;
• the need to maintain relevant business correspondence;
• applicable contractual, accounting, tax or legal obligations;
• applicable limitation periods;
• the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and
• technical, security or operational requirements.

Personal data that is no longer required for a legitimate purpose will be deleted or anonymised where appropriate.

Technical information and logs generated in connection with the operation and security of the website may be retained for periods determined by operational, security and service-provider requirements.

Google Analytics event-level and user-level data is configured for a retention period of 2 months. Aggregated reporting data may remain available for longer. Analytics cookies are configured to expire no later than 13 months after being set, unless you withdraw consent earlier.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website uses one necessary preference cookie and, only if you consent, Google Analytics cookies. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are not loaded before you accept analytics.

Necessary preference cookie

• Name: bmm_cookie_consent
• Provider: Solid Science Kft. / bmmconsult.eu
• Purpose: remembers whether you accepted or rejected optional analytics so that the website can respect your choice.
• Duration: 180 days.

This cookie is necessary to remember and apply your privacy choice. It does not contain a Google Analytics identifier.

Optional Google Analytics cookies

• Names: _ga and _ga_<property-id> (Google may change or add cookies as its service develops).
• Provider: Google Ireland Limited / Google Analytics.
• Purpose: distinguishes pseudonymous browsers and sessions and supports aggregated website-usage statistics.
• Duration: up to 13 months.

These cookies and Google’s analytics scripts are used only after you choose “Accept analytics”. Choosing “Reject analytics” prevents them from loading. If you later withdraw consent, the website stops analytics collection and attempts to remove existing Google Analytics cookies for this domain.

You can change your choice at any time using “Cookie settings” in the website footer. For more information about Google’s practices, see Google’s Privacy Policy.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against:

• unauthorised access;
• accidental loss;
• misuse;
• alteration;
• disclosure; and
• destruction.

Access to personal data is limited to people and service providers who require it for legitimate business purposes.

No internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted electronically.

9. Your Data Protection Rights

Subject to the conditions and limitations set out in applicable data-protection law, you may have the right to:

Access

Request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

Rectification

Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

Erasure

Ask us to delete your personal data where there is no longer a lawful reason for us to retain it.

Restriction

Ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.

Objection

Object to processing based on our legitimate interests.

Data portability

Where applicable, request personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or request that it be transferred to another controller.

Where you object to processing based on legitimate interests, we will stop processing the relevant personal data unless we have compelling legitimate grounds for continuing the processing or the information is required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.

Not all of these rights apply in every circumstance.

To exercise your rights, contact hello@bmmconsult.eu. We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request. We will respond within the time limits required by applicable data-protection law.
