személyadatok

Személyadatok refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes a wide range of data, such as names, addresses, identification numbers, location data, online identifiers, and factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that person. The key principle is that the information must be capable of identifying a specific individual, either directly or indirectly when combined with other data.

The processing of személyadatok is governed by strict legal frameworks, most notably the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union. These regulations aim to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals, particularly their right to privacy. Organizations that collect, store, or process személyadatok must adhere to principles such as lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity, and confidentiality.

Consent is a crucial aspect of processing personal data. Individuals generally have the right to be informed about how their data is being used and often need to give their explicit consent for certain processing activities. Furthermore, individuals have several rights concerning their personal data, including the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object to processing, and the right to data portability. Failure to comply with data protection regulations can result in significant penalties for organizations.
