adatkezeli

Adatkezeli is a Hungarian term that translates to data processing or data handling in English. It encompasses the entire lifecycle of data, from its collection and storage to its use and deletion. In the context of privacy and legal frameworks, adatkezeli refers to any operation performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means. This includes, but is not limited to, recording, organizing, structuring, storing, adapting or altering, retrieving, consulting, using, disclosing by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

The concept of adatkezeli is central to data protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union, which has influenced Hungarian data protection laws. These regulations aim to ensure that personal data is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently, with respect for the rights of individuals. Key principles governing adatkezeli include data minimization, purpose limitation, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity, and confidentiality. Organizations that handle personal data must implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard it against unauthorized access, loss, or destruction. Understanding adatkezeli is crucial for both individuals whose data is being processed and for organizations responsible for its management.
