4. Access to the data and data security measures

4.1. Access to the data and data transfer

The personal data provided by the data subject will be accessible to the Data Controller’s assigned staff members, financial department staff, the Controller’s managing officers, as well as the staff of the assigned IT service provider.

Other than that, the Data Controller may only disclose the personal data to other persons or state bodies and authorities in cases governed by law. Thus, for example, in case

  • court proceedings are initiated in a case which involves the data subject, and the documents (also) containing the data subject’s personal data must be disclosed to the competent court,
  • an investigation authority contacts the Data Controller and requests transferring documents (also) containing the employee’s personal data for criminal proceedings.
  • any other authority acting within its scope of competence specified by law requests transferring documents (also) containing the data subject’s personal data.

The Data Controller relies on the services of a Data Processor in the following cases: 

  1. cases requiring a lawyer’s assistance and legal advice: Szűcs & Partners Attorneys-At-Law (registered office: 35 Madách utca, 5000 Szolnok);
  2. in IT issues also affecting personal data: W5 IT Services Ltd. (registered office: 12 Kossuth Lajos út, 7678 Abaliget, company registration No.: 02-09-072933), Webonic Ltd. (Registered office: 9-11 Budai út, 8000 Székesfehérvár, company registration No.: 07-09-025725)

4.2. Data security measures

The Data Controller stores the personal data provided by the data subject on the servers located at the registered office of Webonic Ltd. (9-11 Budai út, 8000 Székesfehérvár, company registration No.: 07-09-025725), in files located at the registered office of WebMedic Ltd. (14-18 Szép Juhászné út, F2 Building F, 1021 Budapest, company registration No.: 01-09-372820), as well as in a separate building dedicated to storing archives.

For processing personal data, the Data Controller relies on the services provided by Google (Analytics) and the Rocket Science Group (Mailchimp). In case the data transferred during the services are stored abroad, the place of processing is the United States of America. The security of processing is guaranteed by the Privacy Shield agreement concluded with the US. The Data Controller takes appropriate measures to ensure the protection of the personal data against, among others, unauthorised access or unauthorised alteration. Thus, for example, the server which stores personal data is in a locked room to which only reception staff, the managing officers of the Data Controller and the staff of the company contracted to provide IT services (“IT company”) have a key, the data stored on the servers is only accessible to staff members who have a unique identifier and a password, and in the case of dedicated data, access rights are also restricted, for example, only dedicated staff members and managing officers of the Data Controller have a right to access the e-mail list used for sending out newsletters. Besides, only the staff of the IT company can access the electronically stored data when necessary.

The IT company monitors the existence of the security conditions required to protect the data and backup storage on a daily basis.

5. Rights relating to data processing

5.1. Right to be informed

The data subject shall have the right to request information from the Data Controller via the contact details specified in Clause I about the following:

  • which personal data,
  • on what legal basis,
  • for what purpose,
  • from what source,
  • for how long the Data Controller processes,
  • to whom, when, on what legal basis and to which personal data
  • the Data Controller granted access or to whom it transferred the personal data.

The Data Controller shall comply with the data subject’s request within no more than 30 days via mail sent to the address provided by the data subject.

5.2. Right to rectification

The data subject shall have the right to request the Data Controller in writing, via the contact details specified in Clause I, to rectify any personal data (for example, the data subject may change his or her e-mail address at any time). Before complying with the request, the Data Controller may request proper verification of the change (e.g., change of address, change of name). The Data Controller shall comply with the data subject’s request within no more than 30 days, and notify the data subject thereof via mail sent to the address provided by the data subject.

5.3. Right to erasure

The data subject shall have the right to request the Data Controller in writing, via the contact details specified in Clause I, to erase his or her personal data. The Data Controller may reject the request for erasure in case the Data Controller is bound by law or an internal policy to continue to store the personal data. If, however, no such obligation exists, the Data Controller shall comply with the data subject’s request within no more than 30 days, and notify the data subject thereof via mail sent to the address provided by the data subject.

5.4. Right to restriction of processing

The data subject shall have the right to request the Data Controller in writing, via the contact details specified in Clause I, to restrict processing his or her personal data. The restriction shall continue to apply as long as the reasons justifying it remain applicable. The data subject may, for example, request restriction of the personal data in case he or she thinks that the processing of the data by the Data Controller was unlawful, but it is essential for the public or court proceedings initiated by the data subject that the data is not erased by the Data Controller. In this case, the Data Controller shall continue to store the personal data until further notice from the competent authority or court and then erase the data.

5.5. Right to data portability

The data subject shall have the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller, that is, to request the Data Controller to transfer the data to him or her written on a CD.

5.6. Right to object

The data subject shall have the right to object against processing in writing, via the contact details specified in Clause I, in case the Data Controller intends to transfer or use the personal data for purposes of direct marketing, opinion poll or scientific research. Thus, for example, the data subject may object to the Data Controller processing his/her personal data for the purposes of scientific research without his/her consent. The data subject may also object against processing if the data subject thinks that it is only necessary for the Data Controller to comply with a legal obligation or pursue its legitimate interests, except for processing permitted by law. Thus, for example, the data subject may not object to the Data Controller transferring his/her inquiry containing his/her personal data to an authority in ongoing proceedings instituted by a public authority.
