8. Children’s Privacy
Our bistro welcomes families for dining; however, our poker lounge and card tournaments are intended only for individuals who meet the legal age requirements for participation in such activities in Hungary. We do not intentionally promote poker events to minors or knowingly collect personal data from children in connection with poker or bar services.
If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a child has provided us with personal data in a context where this is not appropriate (for example, by signing up for poker tournaments while under the permitted age), please contact us using the details in section 11. We will review the situation and, where appropriate, delete the information and adjust our records.
9. Security Measures
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration, both online and within our physical venue.
9.1 Online safeguards
- use of secure connections (HTTPS) where appropriate;
- access controls and authentication for administrative tools;
- restricted access to personal data to staff and service providers who need it for their role;
- reasonable measures to keep our website and related systems up to date and protected.
9.2 On-site and organizational safeguards
- training staff on respectful, confidential handling of guest information;
- secure storage methods for any paper-based reservation logs or tournament lists;
- limiting physical access to areas where personal data may be stored.
While we take these precautions, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please notify us immediately using the contact details in section 11.
10. International Data Transfers
Kozosseghub365 is based in Hungary, and our primary operations are conducted at our physical venue in Hungary. Personal data may, however, be processed or stored on servers located in other countries if we engage third-party service providers (for example, website hosting or email platforms) that operate internationally.
Where such transfers occur, we take steps to ensure that your personal data continues to benefit from an adequate level of protection, consistent with applicable data protection laws. This may include using providers located in countries recognized as providing adequate protection, or implementing contractual safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
11. Contact & Complaints
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our handling of your personal data, you can reach the Kozosseghub365 team using the contact options provided on our Contact Us page.
When you contact us about privacy matters, please include enough detail for us to understand and respond to your request. We may ask for additional information to verify your identity before processing certain rights requests.
