Privacy Policy

Last updated: 17 June 2026

This policy explains what personal data huntech.dev processes, for what purpose and on what legal basis, who the processors are, and what rights data subjects have under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, Regulation (EU) 2016/679).

1. Data controller

The data controller is Mihály Tari, a natural person and the operator of huntech.dev.

• Contact (data requests): contact@huntech.dev

The controller is not required to appoint a Data Protection Officer and has not appointed one.

2. Overview of processing activities

2.1. Newsletter

• Data processed: email address and the chosen language edition (Hungarian or English).
• Purpose: delivering the monthly bilingual newsletter.
• Legal basis: the data subject's consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)), given by submitting the signup form.
• Processor: MailerLite (UAB "MailerLite", Lithuania, EU) — data is stored within the European Union.
• Retention: until consent is withdrawn (unsubscribe).
• Withdrawing consent: via the unsubscribe link in every email, or at contact@huntech.dev. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

2.2. Developer and project leaderboard

• Data processed: data from public GitHub profiles — username, display name, avatar, publicly stated location, the number of public contributions over the last 90 days, and public repository data.
• Source of data: the public GitHub API. The data is not obtained directly from the data subject (GDPR Art. 14).
• Purpose: showcasing active Hungarian developers and Hungarian-founded open-source projects.
• Legal basis: the controller's legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) — increasing the visibility of the Hungarian developer community. Processing is limited to already-public, non-special-category data.
• Objection and removal: anyone may request removal from the leaderboard at contact@huntech.dev. On request the entry is set to "not public" or removed, and added to a blocklist so that later refreshes do not re-list it.
• Retention: the leaderboard is refreshed weekly and only holds current public data.

2.3. Analytics (Umami)

• Data processed: aggregated, anonymous usage data (page views, referrer, approximate region, device type) and events (e.g. starting a newsletter signup).
• Purpose: understanding site usage and improving the content.
• Legal basis: the controller's legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
• Tool: self-hosted Umami. It uses no cookies, builds no cross-person identifying profile, and does not store IP addresses. For this reason the site shows no cookie-consent banner.

2.4. Hosting and operation (Vercel)

• Data processed: server technical logs (IP address, user agent, request metadata) generated transiently for operational and security purposes.
• Purpose: serving the site, operational security, abuse prevention.
• Legal basis: the controller's legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
• Processor: Vercel Inc. (United States) — see section 3 on transfers outside the EU.

3. Transfers to third countries

The hosting provider (Vercel Inc.) is located in the United States. Any transfer takes place under appropriate safeguards (the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, or the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission). The newsletter processor (MailerLite) stores data within the European Union.

4. Automated decision-making

The site performs no automated decision-making or profiling within the meaning of GDPR Art. 22.

5. Children

The site is not directed at children under 16, and does not knowingly collect personal data from them.

6. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the following rights:

• access to your processed data (Art. 15);
• rectification (Art. 16);
• erasure / "right to be forgotten" (Art. 17);
• restriction of processing (Art. 18);
• objection to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21);
• data portability, where applicable (Art. 20);
• withdrawal of consent (for the newsletter).

To exercise these rights, write to contact@huntech.dev. Requests are answered without undue delay, and within one month at the latest.

7. Complaints
