Information used to operate the website

This website is hosted by Squarespace. When you visit, Squarespace processes technical information such as your IP address, browser, device and network details, referring pages and pages accessed.

This information is used to deliver the website, maintain its operation and protect its security. Where we are responsible for this processing, our legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing a functioning and secure professional website under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

Squarespace also processes certain information for its own purposes, as explained in its Privacy Policy.

Cookies and your choices

Cookies and similar technologies store or access information on your device.

Essential cookies support functions needed to operate the website securely. These do not require your consent where they are strictly necessary.

Optional cookies, including analytics and performance cookies, are subject to your choices in the cookie banner. Where personal information is processed through these optional technologies, we rely on your consent under Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

You can select “Accept all”, “Decline all” or “Manage cookies”. You can change your preferences or withdraw consent at any time using the cookie-preferences control on the website. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place lawfully before withdrawal.

Squarespace’s visitor activity log is disabled. This does not prevent the technical processing needed to host and secure the website.

For details of Squarespace cookies and their durations, see The cookies Squarespace uses.

YouTube videos

The Press & Media page includes videos embedded from YouTube, a Google service.

Loading or playing embedded videos can involve Google receiving information such as your IP address, device and browser details, and information about your interaction with the player. YouTube may also use cookies or similar technologies, subject to the player configuration and your consent choices.

Google’s handling of this information is explained in its Privacy Policy.

You can decline optional cookies and continue browsing the website, although some video features may be unavailable.

Contacting Ben or his management

If you email Ben, he receives the information you provide, such as your name, email address and message. This is used to respond to your enquiry.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in handling professional correspondence, or taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, where applicable.

Enquiries sent directly to a management company listed on the Contact page are handled by that company under its own privacy arrangements.

Service providers and international processing

Personal information is processed by providers involved in operating the website, including Squarespace and, when embedded videos are used, Google/YouTube.

These providers may process information outside the European Economic Area. Where required, transfers must be covered by an applicable adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

Further information about Squarespace’s transfer arrangements is available in its Data Processing Addendum. You may contact us for information about safeguards applicable to processing for which we are responsible.

How long information is kept

We retain personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this notice.

Technical information is retained according to the relevant service provider’s retention arrangements. Cookie durations vary by cookie and are described in the provider information linked above.

Routine enquiries are kept for up to 12 months after the correspondence ends. Correspondence relating to professional engagements may be retained longer for contractual, accounting or legal purposes.

Information may be retained longer where required by law or necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may request access to your personal information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing or data portability. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests and withdraw consent where processing relies on it.

To exercise your rights, contact benjaminbayl@gmail.com. We will normally respond within one month.

You may complain to Hungary’s National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (NAIH), at naih.hu, or to another competent supervisory authority, including in the EU/EEA country where you live or work.
