Privacy Policy

Last updated: 4tth of October 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data Happy Parents Today (happyparentstoday.com) collects, why, how long it is kept, and what rights you have. It applies to this website, the online store, and the newsletter.

1. Who is responsible for your data

The data controller is:

Gizella Nagyne Palinkas, sole trader (egyéni vállalkozó)

Address: 1238 Budapest, Lang Endre utca 6

Tax number: HU909100056

For any privacy question or request, email hello@happyparentstoday.com. I aim to reply within 30 days, as the GDPR requires.

2. What data is collected

Data you give me:

• Contact form: your name, email address and message.

• Newsletter sign-up: your email address.

Data collected automatically:

• Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type and pages visited, recorded by the hosting provider in server logs.

I don't ask for health information about you or your children. If you choose to include it in a message, it is used only to reply to you.

I don't sell your personal data. It is shared only with service providers who process it on my behalf:

• Website hosting and store: Hostinger.

• Payment processing: Stripe

• Newsletter and email: Hostinger reach

• Social media keyword replies: Blotato, which sends the requested link through Instagram or Facebook messages.

• Advertising: Google, as described in section 5.

• Authorities: only where the law requires it.

Some of these providers may process data outside the EEA. Where they do, transfers rely on safeguards recognised by the GDPR, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

5. Cookies and advertising

The site uses cookies that are needed for it to work, such as keeping items in your shopping bag. These don't require consent.

This site uses Google AdSense to show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website or to other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.

If you are in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, advertising cookies are only set after you agree through the cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time.

6. How long data is kept

• Messages: up to 2 years after the conversation ends.

• Newsletter: until you unsubscribe. Every email has an unsubscribe link.

• Orders and invoices: 8 years, as required by Hungarian accounting law.

• Server logs: as set by the hosting provider, usually a few months.

7. Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to its use, and to receive it in a portable format. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier processing.

To use any of these rights, email hello@happyparentstoday.com.

You can also complain to the Hungarian data protection authority: Nemzeti Adatvédelmi és Információszabadság Hatóság (NAIH), naih.hu. If you live in another EU country, you can contact your local authority instead.

8. Children

This website is written for parents and carers. It is not directed at children under 16, and I don't knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has sent me personal data, email me and I will delete it.

9. Security

Data is stored with reputable providers that use encryption and access controls. No online service is completely secure, so please don't send sensitive information by email.

10. Links to other websites

Articles sometimes link to research and other websites. Their privacy practices are their own, so please read their policies.

11. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new "Last updated" date. Significant changes will also be announced in the newsletter.
