This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected, used and protected when you visit www.peternemeth.com, contact me through the website, subscribe to email communications or otherwise interact with my online services.
I respect your privacy and aim to collect and use personal information only where it is necessary, appropriate and lawful.

For the purposes of applicable data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), I am the data controller for personal information collected directly through this website.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information through the website unless it is genuinely necessary for your enquiry.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the website, certain technical and usage information may be collected automatically, including:
IP address;
browser type;
device and network information;
approximate geographical location;
pages visited;

Personal information may be used for the following purposes:
to respond to enquiries and messages;

Depending on the circumstances, personal information may be processed on the basis of your consent, steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, or my legitimate interests in operating and improving my photography and publishing activities.
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
4. Contact Forms and Photography Enquiries
If you contact me through a form on this website, by email or through another communication channel, I will use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry and, where relevant, discuss or provide photography, editorial or other creative services.
Submitting an enquiry does not automatically subscribe you to marketing communications.
Information relating to an enquiry or client relationship may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to manage the enquiry, provide the requested service, maintain appropriate business records and comply with legal obligations.

If you choose to subscribe to my newsletter or other email communications, your email address and related subscription information may be processed using Squarespace's newsletter and email services.

Marketing communications are sent only where there is an appropriate legal basis to do so.
You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in marketing emails or by contacting me at peter@peternemeth.com.
Withdrawing your consent to marketing will not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before your consent was withdrawn.
6. Website Hosting and Squarespace
This website is hosted and managed through Squarespace. Squarespace provides the technical infrastructure required to display and operate the website and may process visitor information in connection with these services.
Squarespace may process information including browser, network and device information, IP addresses and information about visitors' interactions with the website.
Squarespace may also use necessary cookies and, depending on your consent choices and the website configuration, analytics and performance cookies.
The domain associated with this website is also managed through Squarespace.
7. Analytics
Squarespace Analytics
I may use Squarespace Analytics to understand how visitors use the website. This may include information about traffic sources, page views, visitor activity and interactions with the website.
Analytics information helps me understand which photography, articles, services and other content are useful or interesting to visitors and allows me to improve the website.
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics to understand website traffic and visitor behaviour.
Google Analytics may collect information such as:
website and page visits;
session information;
approximate geographical location;
browser and device information;
interactions with website content;
referral and traffic-source information.
Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies to distinguish visitors and understand website usage.
Where required, analytics technologies are activated according to visitors' cookie and consent preferences.
Google Search Console
I use Google Search Console to understand how this website performs in Google Search, including information about search queries, impressions, clicks, indexing and technical search performance.
Search Console is primarily used to analyse the website's visibility and technical performance in Google Search rather than to identify individual website visitors.
8. Meta and Facebook
This website and my photography activities may use services provided by Meta Platforms, including Facebook and Instagram.
Depending on the integrations and features active on the website, Meta technologies may receive information about interactions with the website or with embedded or linked Meta services.
If Meta Pixel or similar Meta tracking technologies are enabled, they may be used to measure website activity, understand the effectiveness of content or advertising, and create aggregated audience insights.
Where legally required, non-essential Meta tracking technologies will only be used according to your cookie and consent preferences.
Meta processes information in accordance with its own privacy policies and terms.
9. Cookies and Similar Technologies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your device that allow websites and services to function, remember preferences and understand how visitors use them.

Personal information may be shared with trusted service providers only where necessary to operate the website, communicate with you, analyse website performance or provide requested services.
These providers may include:
Squarespace;
Google;
Meta Platforms;
email and newsletter service providers;
other professional or technical service providers where reasonably necessary.
These organisations process information according to their own privacy policies, contractual obligations and applicable data protection laws.

11. International Data Transfers
Some service providers used by this website, including Squarespace, Google and Meta, operate internationally.
As a result, personal information may in some circumstances be processed or stored outside Hungary or the European Economic Area (EEA).
Where applicable, such transfers should be protected using appropriate legal safeguards required by applicable data protection legislation, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses or other recognised transfer mechanisms.
12. How Long I Keep Personal Information
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to meet applicable legal, accounting or regulatory requirements.
The retention period may depend on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
For example:
enquiry information may be retained while an enquiry or potential project remains relevant;
client and transaction-related information may be retained for periods required by applicable legal and accounting obligations;
newsletter information may generally be retained until you unsubscribe or the information is no longer required for the relevant communication purpose;

Information that is no longer reasonably required will be deleted, anonymised or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable law.

When you follow an external link, the privacy practices of that third party apply. I am not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of external websites or services.
