Measures to ensure data security:   

Data Controller is obliged to ensure data security, it must take technical and organizational measures and establish procedural rules which ensure that the recorded, stored and processed data are protected, and which prevent their destruction, unauthorized use or unauthorized alteration. Data Controller also draws the attention of third parties – which the data subject’s data have been transferred to – to the fact that they have to comply with the data security requirements.

The above obligation is also prescribed by Data Controller for the employees participating in its data processing activities and for the data processors acting on its behalf.

In order to prevent unauthorized access to the data, Data Controller ensures the protection of personal data and prevents unauthorized access to them on its tools as follows: the access to the server and to the computers is protected by passwords and a firewall and antivirus software is applied.

Communication of a personal data breach to the data subject

In the following, the regulation of some general issues shall be presented. Thus, the procedure used to ensure the security of the data, the action to be taken in the event of a personal data breach, as well as the rights of the data subject and the means of redress.

Personal data breach: a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.

If the personal data breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, Data Controller shall communicate the personal data breach to the data subject without undue delay in clear and plain language.

The communication to the data subject shall not be required if any of the following conditions are met:

• Data Controller has implemented appropriate technical and organizational protection measures, and those measures were applied to the personal data affected by the personal data breach, in particular those that render the personal data unintelligible to any person who is not authorized to access it, such as encryption;
• Data Controller has taken subsequent measures which ensure that the high risk to the rights and freedoms of the data subject is no longer likely to materialize;
• it would involve disproportionate effort. In such a case, there shall instead be a public communication or similar measure whereby the data subjects are informed in an equally effective manner.

The right to data portability shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

Right to object:

The data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her, if the legal ground of data processing is to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in Data Controller, or the data processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Data Controller or by a third party, including profiling based on these provisions.

If personal data are processed for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes, the data subject, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, has the right to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

Right to withdraw the given consent: 

If the data processing of Data Controller is based on the data subject’s consent, the data subject has the right to withdraw his or her consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of data processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Data Controller shall provide information to the data subject on action taken on the data subject’s request related to the rights defined in the present Policy without undue delay and in any event within one month of receipt of the request.

In this case, Data Controller may either charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or communication requested or refuse to act on the request.

Data Controller shall communicate any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of data processing carried out by Data Controller to each recipient to whom the personal data have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Data Controller shall inform the data subject about those recipients if the data subject requests it.

Personal data related to children and third parties 

Persons under the age of 16 may not provide their personal data unless consent is given by the holder of parental responsibility. By making the personal data available to Data Controller, the parent, as a data subject, declares and guarantees that he or she will act in accordance with the above, and his or her capacity to act is not limited in connection with the provision of these information.

If you are not legally entitled to make any personal data available on your own, you must obtain the consent of the third parties concerned (e.g. legal representative, guardian, other person acting as representative of the consumer) or provide another legal ground for making the data available. In this context, you must consider whether the consent of a third party is required in connection with the provision of the personal data in question. It can happen that Data Controller does not get into personal contact with you, so you are obliged to ensure compliance with the present section and Data Controller is not liable in this aspect. Regardless of this, Data Controller is always entitled to check whether the appropriate legal ground for the processing of any personal data is available. For example, if you are acting on behalf of a third party, such as a consumer, we are entitled to request your authorization and / or the data subject’s appropriate consent to the data processing in question.

Data Controller makes its best effort to delete any personal data which has been made available to Data Controller without authorization. Data Controller ensures that if it becomes aware of the non-authorized availability of any personal data, this personal data shall not be transferred to another person or used by Data Controller. Please, let Data Controller know immediately by any of the contacts indicated in the Contact Details section if you become aware of the fact that a third party has unauthorizedly provided any personal data to Data Controller.

The court is acting immediately in this case (these actions have priority). Data Controller is obliged to prove that the data processing complies with the provisions of the law. The trial falls into the jurisdiction of the Regional Courts of Hungary. At the discretion of the data subject, the action may be brought before the regional courts having jurisdiction based on the place of residence or the place of stay of the data subject.

The purpose of the cookie is to facilitate the given infocommunication and internet service, to make it more convenient, and to provide the owner of the website with information. There are many varieties of cookies, but they can generally be classified into two major groups.

These safeguards shall ensure that technical and organizational measures are in place in particular in order to ensure respect for the principle of data minimization. These measures may include pseudonymization provided that these purposes can be fulfilled in that manner. If these purposes can be fulfilled by further data processing which does not permit or no longer permits the identification of data subjects, these purposes shall be fulfilled in that manner.
