This Privacy Policy explains how Econtutor (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you visit econtutor.hu (the “Website”) or use our tutoring services.
We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

4. Third-Party Services We Use
To operate the Website and deliver our services, we share limited data with the following third-party service providers, each acting as a data processor on our behalf:
- MailPoet — manages our email newsletter/course-update signup list

6. International Data Transfers
Some third-party providers (e.g. Zoom, WhatsApp/Meta) may process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this occurs, these providers are expected to have appropriate safeguards in place (such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses).
7. Data Concerning Minors
Many of our tutoring services are provided to secondary school and IB/A-Level students, some of whom may be under 18 (and in some cases under 16). Where a student is below the age of digital consent applicable in their country, we ask that a parent or guardian provide consent on their behalf before personal data is submitted to us.
Parents/guardians may contact us at any time to review, amend, or request deletion of their child’s personal data.
8. Your Rights Under GDPR
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data
- Erase your data (“right to be forgotten”), where applicable
- Restrict or object to processing
- Data portability
- Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent
To exercise these rights, contact us at evelin.herbert@econtutor.hu. We will respond within one month, as required by GDPR.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Hungarian National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (NAIH).
9. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above indicates the most recent revision.
