In short

• No registration, comments, newsletter or forms.
• No cookies, third-party analytics, tracking code, advertising, social-media plugins, external fonts or external scripts.
• We collect no personal data and share none with anyone.

The setting stored in your browser

If you choose the “Family-friendly” or “General” version, your browser remembers it in local storage (localStorage, key jh-mode). This is not a cookie, contains no personal data and is never sent to us. It is strictly necessary for a feature you explicitly requested, so no consent is required. You can remove it at any time by clearing your browser data.

Server logs

Our hosting provider (Rackhost Zrt.) may keep technical logs (IP address, time, requested page, browser type) to run and secure the service. Legal basis: legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). We do not use these logs to identify or analyse visitors; retention follows the hosting provider's rules.

If you email us

We use your email address and message only to reply, and keep them for at most 1 year after the matter is closed. Legal basis: your consent given by sending the email (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). Emails are handled by the email provider of our contact address as a processor.

Donations

The support button is a plain link to PayPal; no data reaches PayPal unless you click it. If you donate, payment is handled by PayPal under its own privacy policy. We only see what PayPal shows us (e.g. the name, message and amount you give); we keep it only as long as the law requires. The Support page shows each donation's date and amount; a name appears only if the donor explicitly asks for it (in the PayPal note: “Megjelenhet: Name”). Legal basis: performance of a contract and legal obligation (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) and (c)); for publishing a name, your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw any time by email, and we then change the name to “Anonymous”.

Visitor counter

The visitor numbers at the bottom of the page come from our own simple counter on our own hosting; no third-party service, no cookies, and nothing is stored in your browser. When you open a page, the server turns your IP address and browser type into a one-way ID using a random key that is discarded every day, so you are counted only once per day. Your IP address is not stored; the IDs are deleted at midnight together with the key, so visits cannot be linked across days or traced back to you. Only the daily total is kept (for up to 3 years). Legal basis: legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) – simple measurement of how many people use the site.

Nearby news (county picker)

We collect no data for this at all. You can pick a county from the list above the Hungarian news, and your browser then shows the stories near it first. No location lookup is used, your choice is never sent anywhere, and we never see it. Your browser only remembers the chosen county on your own device (localStorage, key jh-county) so you don't have to pick it again; choosing “Choose a county” in the list clears it.

Images from news sources

Photos shown next to news items load directly from the original publisher's server, so your browser contacts that news source. The source can see your IP address and browser type, but not which joohirek.hu page the request came from (we send no referrer). If a source has no image, or the image doesn't pass our filters, we show our own illustration, which loads only from our server.

External links

News items link to the original publishers. When you click one, their privacy policies apply. Your browser sends them only our domain name, not the exact page.

Your rights

You can request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, object, or exercise data portability: joo268470@gmail.com. You may lodge a complaint with the Hungarian National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (NAIH, 1055 Budapest, Falk Miksa utca 9–11; postal: 1363 Budapest, Pf. 9; naih.hu; ugyfelszolgalat@naih.hu), or go to court.
