4. Other data processing issues

Your data may only be transferred within the limits set by law, and in the case of our data processors, we ensure through contractual terms that they cannot use your personal data for purposes contrary to your consent. Further information is available in section 2.

Our website operates in several languages, the same privacy policy applies to our foreign visitors.

The courts, the prosecutor’s office and other authorities (e.g. police, tax authority, National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information) may contact our company for the provision of information, disclosure of data or the making available of documents. In such cases we must fulfil our obligation to provide data, but only to the extent strictly necessary to achieve the purpose of the request.

Employees and contributors involved in our company’s data processing and/or data handling are entitled to access your personal data to a predetermined extent – subject to confidentiality obligations.

We protect your personal data with appropriate technical and other measures and ensure the security and availability of the data, as well as protect them from unauthorised access, alteration, damage, disclosure or any other unauthorised use.

As organisational measures we control physical access to our buildings, continuously train our employees and store paper-based documents securely. As technical measures we use encryption, password protection and antivirus software. However, please note that data transmission over the Internet cannot be considered completely secure. Our company does everything to make processes as secure as possible, but we cannot take full responsibility for data transmission through our website, though we strictly comply with regulations regarding the security of the data received by our company and the prevention of unlawful access.

  • seek remedy in court,
  • lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority or initiate proceedings (https://naih.hu/panaszuegyintezes-rendje.html).

Upon your request we provide information about the personal data we process about you, or processed by our commissioned data processor,

  • about your data,
  • their source,
  • the purpose and legal basis of processing,
  • its duration, or if this is not possible, the criteria for determining that duration,
  • the name, address and activity related to data processing of our data processors,
  • the circumstances and effects of data protection incidents and the measures taken to remedy and prevent them, and
  • in the case of transfer of your personal data, the legal basis and the recipient of the transfer.

We provide our response within 15 days (but no later than 1 month) from the submission of the request. The information is free of charge except when you have already submitted a request concerning the same set of data in the current year. We will refund the fee already paid if the data was processed unlawfully or the request for information led to correction. We may only refuse information in cases provided by law, indicating the legal provision, and informing you about judicial remedy and the possibility to contact the Authority.

Our company notifies you and all those to whom we have previously transmitted the data for processing purposes about the rectification, blocking, marking or deletion of personal data, except where such notification would not harm your legitimate interest.

If we do not fulfil your request for rectification, blocking or deletion, within 15 days (but no later than 1 month) from the receipt of the request, we will provide you with the reasons for refusal in writing or – with your consent – electronically, and inform you about the possibility of judicial remedy and contacting the Authority.

If you object to the processing of your personal data, we will examine your objection within 15 days (but no later than 1 month) from the submission of the request and inform you in writing about our decision. If we decide that your objection is well-founded, we will terminate data processing – including further data collection and transfer – and block the data, and notify all those to whom we previously transferred the personal data affected by the objection and who are obliged to act in order to enforce the right to object.

We will refuse to comply with the request if we prove that the data processing is justified by compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or that relate to the submission, enforcement or defence of legal claims. If you do not agree with our decision or if we fail to meet the deadline, you may go to court within 30 days from the notification of the decision or from the last day of the deadline.

Data protection lawsuits fall within the jurisdiction of the tribunal. The lawsuit may also be brought before the tribunal of the data subject’s domicile or place of residence, at the choice of the data subject. A foreign citizen may also lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority of his/her residence.

Please, before turning to the supervisory authority or court with your complaint – in order to resolve the problem as quickly as possible – contact our company.
