adatvédelemmel

Adatvédelem refers to the legal framework and practices designed to protect personal data. In Hungary, this concept is primarily governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union, which is directly applicable, and supplemented by national legislation. The core principle of adatvédelem is to ensure that individuals have control over their personal information and that it is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently.

Key aspects of adatvédelem include obtaining consent for data processing, limiting data collection to what is necessary for a specific purpose, ensuring data accuracy, storing data only for as long as required, and implementing appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, loss, or destruction. Individuals have rights such as the right to access their data, the right to rectification, the right to erasure (the "right to be forgotten"), and the right to object to processing.

The Hungarian National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (Nemzeti Adatvédelmi és Információszabadság Hatóság, NAÜIH) is the supervisory authority responsible for enforcing data protection laws in Hungary. They handle complaints, conduct investigations, and impose sanctions for non-compliance. Organizations that process personal data must adhere to these regulations, which can significantly impact their operations, requiring them to implement robust data protection policies and procedures.
