For Facebook Page Insights and LinkedIn Page Insights, the Company acts as joint controller, respectively, with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited and LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company under the providers’ applicable Page Insights joint-controller terms. Meta and LinkedIn take primary responsibility under those terms for providing information about Page Insights processing and facilitating data-subject rights. You may nevertheless exercise your rights against either joint controller. Privacy questions and requests may be sent to privacy@helpers.hu.

2. Purposes and legal bases

We process your personal data for the following main purposes:

  • Enquiries and pre-contractual communication based on steps taken at the request of a prospective individual client or the Company’s legitimate interest when communicating with a corporate contact person, agent or representative;
  • Online eligibility tools, appointment booking and consultations based on pre-contractual steps requested by you; any automated preliminary result is informational and has no legal or similarly significant effect;
  • Newsletter and service marketing only based on separate consent;
  • Client onboarding, contracting, service coordination and customer administration based on the relevant contract, pre-contractual steps, legal obligations and, for representatives and related persons, the Company’s legitimate interests;
  • Company formation, business establishment, immigration, relocation, citizenship, genealogy, registered-office, mail-forwarding and related support services , based on steps taken at your request before entering into a contract and on the performance of the contract; for corporate contacts, representatives and other persons who are not parties to the contract, on the Company’s legitimate interests; where applicable, on compliance with legal obligations; and, where relevant, on the additional legal conditions applicable to special-category and criminal-offence data.
  • Compliance, sanctions, politically exposed person and customer due-diligence screening based on a legal obligation where applicable and otherwise the Company’s legitimate interest in preventing unlawful, fraudulent or unacceptably risky engagements;
  • Payments, invoicing, accounting and tax administration based on the contract and applicable legal obligations;
  • Customer support, complaints, social-media communication, Page Insights and service-quality administration based on the contract, applicable legal obligations or the Company’s legitimate interests;
  • IT operation, security, incident management and recovery based on the Company’s legitimate interest in secure and continuous operation;
  • Establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and binding official disclosures based on the Company’s legitimate interests or the specific legal obligation applicable to the matter.

Depending on the service, recipients may include approved technology, communications and payment providers, Helpers Finance Kft., external lawyers, registered-office and postal providers, banks, translators, genealogists, insurers, corporate clients, agents and competent Hungarian or foreign authorities.

Transfers rely on an adequacy decision, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where applicable, or an Article 46 GDPR safeguard, normally the European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses together with a transfer assessment and supplementary measures. Article 49 GDPR derogations are used only exceptionally. The Full Notice identifies the principal arrangements.

4. Your rights, including the right to object

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent freely at any time; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. You may request access to and rectification of your personal data and, within the applicable limits, erasure, restriction and data portability. For Facebook and LinkedIn Page Insights, you may exercise your rights against either the Company or the relevant joint-controller provider; requests sent to the Company will be forwarded in accordance with the applicable arrangement. The exercise of these rights is free of charge.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO PROCESSING BASED ON THE COMPANY’S LEGITIMATE INTERESTS. WHERE YOU VALIDLY OBJECT, WE WILL STOP THE PROCESSING UNLESS WE DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR LEGAL CLAIMS.

You may seek judicial remedy and lodge a complaint with the Hungarian National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (NAIH; address: 1055 Budapest, Falk Miksa utca 9-11.; email: ugyfelszolgalat@naih.hu; website: www.naih.hu).

Last updated: v2.0, October 6, 2026.

This Customer and Online Privacy Notice explains how Helpers Hungary Kft. processes personal data relating to prospective and current clients, former clients, corporate contact persons, agents, representatives, family members and other persons whose information is supplied for a requested service, as well as visitors to websites operated by Helpers Hungary, newsletter subscribers and users of the Company’s social-media pages. It covers helpers.hu, hungariancitizenship.eu, companyformation.hu and goldenvisa.hu, together with forms, booking tools, payment links and other online features made available through those websites, unless a service-specific notice states otherwise. This Notice covers Helpers Hungary’s own client-contact, contracting, billing, security and compliance processing and its participation in the Page Insights joint processing described below.

1. Controller, joint controllers and privacy contact

The controller is Helpers Hungary Kft. (registered office: 1094 Budapest, Tompa utca 9, 5th floor, door 3; company registration number: 01-09-869492; tax number: 13715065-2-43; “Helpers Hungary”, the “Company” or “we”). Questions, requests and complaints concerning personal-data processing may be sent to privacy@helpers.hu.

For personal data processed to generate Facebook Page Insights, Helpers Hungary and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland) act as joint controllers under Meta’s Page Insights Controller Addendum. Meta takes primary responsibility for the GDPR obligations allocated to it under that arrangement, including providing information about the processing and enabling data-subject rights. For personal data processed to generate LinkedIn Page Insights relating to members in the EEA or Switzerland, Helpers Hungary and LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company (Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland) act as joint controllers under LinkedIn’s Page Insights Joint Controller Addendum. LinkedIn takes responsibility for the provision of Page Insights and the GDPR obligations allocated to it under that arrangement, including information and support for data-subject rights. You may exercise your rights against either joint controller. Requests received by Helpers Hungary in relation to Page Insights will be forwarded promptly to the relevant provider and Helpers Hungary will cooperate as required by the applicable arrangement. Meta and LinkedIn remain independent controllers for their own further platform processing outside the relevant Page Insights joint processing.

2. Purposes of processing

  • Enquiries and pre-contractual communication: The Company receives and answers enquiries submitted through its communication channels or through agents or authorized representatives. It uses the information needed to understand the request, identify the relevant service, assess broad feasibility, prepare an offer and communicate about timing, scope and fees.
  • Online eligibility tools, appointment booking and consultations: The Company provides online questionnaires, booking tools and consultations for certain citizenship, immigration and business-establishment services. The answers may generate an automated preliminary indication, but the result is informational, does not determine legal eligibility and does not replace a professional or authority assessment.
  • Optional meeting recording, transcription and AI-assisted notes: Where a consultation or meeting would be recorded, transcribed or summarized by an AI-assisted tool, the Company informs participants and requests separate consent before the feature is activated. Refusal does not prevent the consultation from taking place without that feature.
  • Newsletter and service marketing: The Company sends newsletters, service updates and promotional messages only to persons who have separately subscribed. Subscription preferences, consent and unsubscribe requests are recorded so that marketing choices are respected.
  • Client onboarding, contracting and service administration: When a prospective client proceeds, the Company collects the identification, contact, invoicing, signature and case-initiation information required to open the matter, conclude and administer the service agreement, allocate the matter internally, coordinate the work, provide status updates and close the engagement.
  • Company formation, business establishment and corporate support: The Company assesses and coordinates company-formation and related business-establishment services, prepares onboarding and corporate information, works with the external lawyer handling registration, supports tax-number, social-security, chamber, statistical-office, banking, registered-seat and post-registration steps, and provides other requested business-support assistance.
  • Immigration, relocation and related administrative services: The Company prepares and coordinates residence, work, registration, tax-card, social-security, health-insurance and related applications; manages documents and authority communications under a power of attorney where applicable; supports family members; and forwards decisions or permits to the client or the authorized corporate contact.
  • Citizenship advice, genealogy and application support: The Company assesses potential eligibility, organizes consultations, coordinates genealogy and document research, prepares citizenship and civil-status application packages, assists with submissions and deficiency responses, and communicates with archives, registries, genealogists, notaries, translators, authorities and consulates where required.
  • Registered-office, mail-forwarding and delivery-agent services: The Company or its registered-office partners receive, record, scan, store and forward physical or electronic company mail, manage delivery-agent communications and provide related administrative support in accordance with the selected service.
  • Compliance, sanctions and customer due diligence: The Company verifies identity and ownership information and may screen prospective or current clients, beneficial owners and related persons against sanctions, politically exposed person and risk databases. It uses the result to comply with applicable law and to decide whether it can lawfully and responsibly establish or continue the business relationship.
  • HR and labor-law consultation for business clients: The Company receives and qualifies client enquiries, prepares proposals, organizes and conducts HR consultations, and, where relevant, refers a matter to an external labor-law lawyer. If a corporate client supplies employee records and Helpers Hungary processes them solely on that client’s instructions, the client remains the controller and its privacy notice applies to that processing.
  • Payments, invoicing, accounting and tax administration: The Company issues payment links and invoices, records the amount, currency, payment status and transaction reference, processes refunds where necessary, and fulfils accounting, tax and financial-reporting duties. Full payment-card credentials are processed by the payment provider and are not ordinarily received by Helpers Hungary.
  • Social-media pages, public interactions and Page Insights: The Company operates social-media pages, answers messages and comments, moderates public interactions and uses aggregated Page Insights generated by Meta and LinkedIn to evaluate page and audience performance. The joint-controller arrangements apply only to the generation and provision of the Page Insights covered by the relevant provider terms. Public posts remain visible according to the user’s and platform’s settings.
  • Customer support, complaints and service-quality administration: The Company responds to operational questions, corrects case information, handles complaints and service issues, documents the outcome and takes appropriate follow-up steps. Telephone calls are not routinely recorded.
  • IT operation, security, backups and incident management: The Company processes account, device, log, support-ticket and technical information in its business systems to provide targeted support, detect and investigate security events, protect information, maintain business continuity and restore data from authorized backups. Access to customer content is limited to what is necessary for the defined support or security purpose.
  • Establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims: Where a concrete complaint, dispute, investigation or claim exists or is reasonably foreseeable, the Company identifies, preserves, reviews and discloses only the information necessary to establish facts, obtain legal advice, enforce rights or defend itself. It does not retain all customer data merely because a future dispute is abstractly possible.
  • Binding official requests and statutory disclosures: The Company verifies and responds to legally binding requests, orders and disclosure duties and provides only the personal data required by the specific law, authority request, court order or other binding measure.
  • Website operation and language settings: The Company delivers the pages and forms requested by visitors and remembers the selected language and consent preferences. It uses only the personal data and technologies technically indispensable for these requested website functions, and only to the extent and for the period necessary.
  • Website and information security: The Company processes limited technical and security information to protect its websites and forms, detect and prevent misuse, investigate security events, maintain availability and resolve technical errors.
  • Consent-based analytics, conversion measurement and third-party website features: After the visitor has made an affirmative choice in the consent panel, the Company may use Google Analytics, Google Ads conversion measurement, Google Tag Manager, Google Maps, Google reCAPTCHA, Trustindex and similar technologies to measure visits and campaign performance, protect forms, display third-party content and understand how visitors use the websites. Non-essential technologies must not be activated before consent and can be disabled later through the consent settings.

3. Categories and sources of personal data

We generally obtain personal data directly from you through the Company’s websites and communication channels, including forms, email, telephone and WhatsApp Business, as well as through meetings, documents and service interactions. We may also receive data from a corporate client or employer, agent, affiliate partner, authorized representative, family member, lawyer, genealogy researcher, registered-office provider, bank, translator, public register, archive, authority or other person involved in the requested service. Depending on the service, we process the following categories:

  • Identification and contact data, including name, birth details, mother’s name, nationality, citizenship, address, telephone number, email address, signature and identification-document details or copies where required.
  • Corporate and representative data, including employer or represented organization, position, authority to act, ownership and beneficial-ownership information, managing-director or officer data, planned company details and company-register information.
  • Enquiry, service and communication data, including service interests, eligibility background, appointment and scheduling information, offers, contracts, instructions, correspondence, call or meeting metadata, case status and service-delivery records.
  • Immigration, relocation and travel data, including passport, visa and residence-permit data, accommodation, travel, family, marital-status, employment, education, income, bank-statement, health-insurance and authority-decision information where required for the requested procedure.
  • Citizenship, civil-status and genealogy data, including family trees, relatives’ identities and life events, birth, marriage and death records, historical archive and church-record information, photographs and supporting documents.
  • Financial, payment and invoicing data, including billing name and address, tax number, bank-account or refund details, transaction amount, currency, status and reference. Full card details are handled by the relevant payment provider.
  • Compliance and screening data, including identification and ownership data, sanctions or politically exposed person indicators, public-source risk information, screening result and the decision or follow-up taken.
  • Website and device data, including IP address, online or cookie identifiers, browser, device and operating-system information, language, page URL, referral source, visit and interaction events, consent choices, security data and local-storage information.
  • Newsletter and social-media data, including subscription and preference data, public profile details, messages, comments, reactions and aggregated engagement statistics.
  • Optional recording and transcription data, including meeting audio or video, transcript, summary and related metadata, only where the feature has been separately accepted.
  • Special-category and criminal-offence data, only where strictly necessary for the requested immigration, citizenship, genealogy, compliance or legal process and where an applicable Article 9 or Article 10 GDPR condition and national-law basis permits the processing.

Where data are required by law, necessary to enter into or perform the requested service, or needed to make a payment, failure to provide them may prevent or delay the relevant assessment, contract, application or transaction. Optional marketing, non-essential website technologies and meeting recording or transcription may be refused without affecting the underlying service.

4. Legal bases and detailed processing information

We process personal data only for a defined purpose and on the legal basis identified for that purpose. Depending on the processing, the legal basis is steps taken at your request before entering into a contract or performance of the contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR), compliance with a legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR), the Company’s legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or your freely given consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). Personal data technically indispensable for providing a website function requested by the visitor are processed under Section 13/A(3) of Act CVIII of 2001, only to the extent and for the period strictly necessary; that strictly necessary processing is not based on the Company’s legitimate interests. Special-category and criminal-offence data are processed only where the additional conditions of Articles 9 or 10 GDPR and applicable law are met.

The table links each purpose to the relevant data subjects and data categories, legal basis, retention rule and recipients. Where the Company relies on legitimate interests, the specific interest is named in the table and explained in the following section.

5. Legitimate interests

Before relying on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, the Company assesses the interest pursued, whether the processing is necessary, the individual’s reasonable expectations and the impact on the individual’s rights. The principal legitimate interests are:

  • Corporate contact persons, agents, representatives and related persons: The Company has a legitimate interest in communicating with organizations and delivering requested services where the individual whose data are needed is not personally the contracting party. Processing is limited to role-relevant identity, contact, authority and service information.
  • Enquiry handling and customer administration: The Company has a legitimate interest in routing enquiries, keeping an accurate communication record, following up an active request and coordinating services. Unsuccessful enquiries are not kept indefinitely.
  • IT and information security: The Company has a legitimate interest in protecting its websites and business systems, detecting misuse, providing targeted support, maintaining backups and responding to incidents. Logs and access are purpose-limited and subject to retention controls. This interest does not cover processing technically indispensable solely to provide requested website functions or remember language and consent preferences, which is described separately under Section 13/A(3) of Act CVIII of 2001.
  • Compliance and risk prevention: Where no specific legal obligation applies, the Company has a legitimate interest in preventing sanctions breaches, fraud, identity misuse and other unlawful or unacceptably risky engagements. Screening is limited, reviewed by authorized personnel and subject to the additional restrictions applicable to criminal-offence information.
  • Social-media communication and Page Insights: The Company has a legitimate interest in operating public pages, responding to users and evaluating aggregated page performance. For Facebook and LinkedIn Page Insights, the Company participates in joint processing with the relevant provider only within the scope of the applicable joint-controller addendum. The Company does not receive the underlying event-level data used to generate Page Insights. Optional campaigns or further marketing uses require consent where applicable.
  • Legal claims: The Company has a legitimate interest in protecting and enforcing its legal rights and defending itself against a concrete or reasonably foreseeable claim. Only data relevant to the matter are used and retention is linked to that matter rather than an abstract possibility of litigation.

Further information about the relevant balancing assessment may be requested at privacy@helpers.hu.

6. Retention of personal data

Personal data are retained only for the period linked to the relevant purpose and data category, as specified in the detailed table. In particular:

  • unsuccessful enquiries, online assessments and private social-media messages are normally deleted within six months after the last substantive contact or closure;
  • temporary immigration and citizenship working folders are reviewed and deleted or minimized after completion, normally within six months, while core citizenship, company-formation and other service records may be kept for the specific period stated in the table;
  • accounting documents are retained for eight years and tax records for the applicable tax-assessment limitation period, ordinarily five years;
  • consumer-complaint records are normally retained for three years;
  • newsletter data are retained until withdrawal, with a minimal suppression record kept only to prevent further messages;
  • cookie and similar-technology periods are stated in the separate Cookie Notice;
  • raw optional meeting recordings or transcripts are normally deleted within 30 days after validated notes are prepared; and
  • where a concrete complaint, dispute, investigation or claim exists or is reasonably foreseeable, relevant information may be retained until the applicable limitation period and any related proceeding end.

After the applicable period ends, personal data are securely deleted, destroyed or anonymiszed, unless continued retention is required by law. The Company maintains version and publication records for its privacy notices and consent information so that it can demonstrate which information was available at a particular time.

7. Recipients and international transfers

Internal access is limited on a need-to-know basis to authorized Sales, Citizenship, Immigration, Business Services, Accountancy, Operations, HR Services, Finance, IT/Marketing, management and other personnel involved in the relevant purpose. The detailed processing table links external recipients to each purpose. Depending on the requested service, external recipients may include:

  • Helpers Finance Kft. and duly engaged accounting, tax or financial-administration providers;
  • Microsoft, Salesforce, FormAssembly, Typeform, monday.com, Slack, DocuSign, Zoom, ReloTalent, Google, Mailchimp and other approved technology providers;
  • WhatsApp Ireland Limited, which processes customer contact information on the Company’s behalf under the WhatsApp Business Data Processing Terms when WhatsApp Business is used;
  • Meta Platforms Ireland Limited and LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company as joint controllers for the Page Insights processing described above, and Meta, LinkedIn and X Internet Unlimited Company as independent controllers for their separate platform processing;
  • Stripe, Revolut, banks and other payment or financial institutions;
  • External lawyers, genealogists, translators, notaries, archives, civil or church registries, registered-office, postal and courier providers, insurers, landlords and other service partners;
  • Corporate clients, employers, agents, affiliate partners and authorized representatives where they participate in the matter;
  • World-Check / London Stock Exchange Group and authorized compliance advisers; and
  • Hungarian and foreign immigration, citizenship, consular, tax, company-registration, police, court and other legally competent authorities.

Because the Company provides international services, personal data may be communicated to authorities, professional partners, agents or clients in countries worldwide where this is necessary for the requested matter. Only the information necessary for the specific service or disclosure is shared.
