Pályaadatok

Pályaadatok are data describing an individual’s professional track, including education, training, employment history, qualifications, and other elements relevant to career development or admissions. In Hungarian usage, the term is often applied in contexts such as recruitment, educational admissions, vocational guidance, and workforce analytics. Pályaadatok can be collected directly from the person or obtained from schools, employers, professional registries, certification bodies, or portfolio materials.

Typical elements of pályaadatok include identifying information, educational background, work experience, licenses and certifications, languages and skills, training and projects, memberships in professional bodies, references, and career objectives, along with metadata about data sources and collection dates. The exact content depends on the purpose, such as a job application, a student dossier, or a career-planning service.

Pályaadatok are used to evaluate suitability for programs or positions, to support admission decisions, to tailor career guidance, and to enable labor market analyses or program monitoring. They may contribute to creating or updating a résumé, CV, or student file and can be shared with relevant authorities, employers, or educational institutions under defined access rules.

Data protection and governance are central to handling pályaadatok. As personal data, they fall under general data protection rules (GDPR) and national laws in Hungary, requiring lawful processing, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, and appropriate security. Retention periods should align with purpose and legal obligations, with clear rights for individuals to access, rectify, restrict processing, or request erasure, and to receive data portability where applicable. Organizations should provide clear notices on purpose, recipients, retention, and rights, and minimize the collection of highly sensitive information.
