célalkalmazástól

célalkalmazástól is a Hungarian prepositional phrase that literally means “from the purpose application.” It is used primarily in legal and regulatory documents to refer to the concept of purpose limitation in data processing. In the context of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Hungarian national law (e.g., the Act on Personal Data Protection), “célalkalmazás” denotes the specific purpose for which personal data was originally collected. Workers, organizations, and data controllers are required to process data only in ways that are compatible with that stated purpose.

The phrase is often found in data protection impact assessments and privacy notices: for example, “adatgyűjtés célalkalmazástól meghatározott” indicates that data collection is defined by the intended purpose. This requirement underpins the principle of data minimization and restricts secondary uses of data that would violate the original purpose.

In practice, céalkalmazástól is applied in various sectors. In marketing, it limits the use of customer data to campaigns that align with the consent obtained. In public administration, it ensures that citizen data used in social services is not repurposed for unrelated bureaucratic functions. The concept also plays a role in the technical design of systems, where purpose‑specific data compartments are often established.

Legal scholars discuss céalkalmazástól as part of a broader debate about consent, transparency, and the balance between innovation and privacy. It is cited in court decisions interpreting national privacy law and is considered indispensable for compliance with both Hungarian legislation and the overarching EU framework.
