12. Your rights and remedies

 What rights do you have as a data subject in relation to your data?

Right to information and access

You have the right to receive, at the Agency’s request, feedback on whether your personal data are being processed and, if such data processing is ongoing, the right to access your personal data and the following information:

  • purposes of data processing;
  • categories of personal data concerned;
  • the recipients to whom the personal data are or will be disclosed (including in particular data processors);
  • the envisaged storage period of the personal data;
  • your rights regarding the processing of your personal data;
  • the source of the data, if not collected from you;
  • information on automated decision-making.

We will provide you with information about your personal data free of charge in accordance with applicable law. We will respond to your request in writing within one month.  However, where the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of its repetitive nature, the Agency may, having regard to the administrative costs entailed in providing the information or information requested or in taking the action requested:

  • charge you a reasonable fee, or
  • may refuse to act on the request.

If you have already paid a fee but your data has been processed unlawfully or we need to correct your data as a result of your request, we will refund this fee to you.

If, despite our efforts to protect your personal information through our advanced data security measures, anyone unauthorisedly accesses, changes, transfers, discloses, deletes, destroys, causes accidental destruction or damage to, or otherwise unlawfully interferes with your personal information, we will, upon your request, inform you of the circumstances of such an incident, including when it occurred, what the effects may be, and what we have done to prevent or mitigate the consequences.

Right to rectification

If the personal data we process is inaccurate, we will correct it without undue delay at your request. You also have the right to ask us to complete your incomplete personal data by means of a declaration to that effect.

Right to erasure

The Agency will delete your personal data without delay where:

  • the personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes of carrying out the specific data processing operations;
  • the processing of personal data is unlawful;
  • deletion is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which the Agency is subject;
  • consent to the processing of the data of a child under the age of 16 has not been given or authorised by the person having parental authority over the child;
  • the Agency has disclosed the personal data.

You can also ask us to delete your personal data by withdrawing the consent you have previously given to us. In this case, however, we may refuse to continue to provide our services to you or certain services may no longer be available to you.

We will block your personal data instead of deleting it if you request it or if we have reason to believe that deletion may affect your legitimate interests.

Right to restriction

Restriction of data processing may take place if:

  • you contest the accuracy of your data; in this case, the Agency will restrict the processing of your personal data for a period of time until the accuracy of the data is established;
  • the data processing is unlawful and you request restriction of use instead of erasure;
  • the Agency no longer needs the data, but you need them to bring a legal claim;
  • you have objected to the processing of your personal data, until such time as the objection has been considered.

The Agency will suspend the processing of your personal data for the duration of its assessment of your objection to the processing of your personal data, but for a maximum of 5 days, and will examine the grounds for the objection and take a decision, which it will inform you of without delay.

If the objection is justified, the Agency will restrict the data, i.e. only storage as data management can take place as long as

  • you consent to the data processing;
  • the processing of your personal data is necessary to pursue legal claims;
  • processing of personal data becomes necessary in order to protect the rights of another natural or legal person; or
  • a law requires data processing in the public interest.

If you have requested the restriction of data processing, you will be informed in advance by the Agency of the lifting of the restriction.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive personal data concerning you provided to the Agency in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (such as .doc or .pdf) and the right to transmit such data to another data controller without the Agency’s hindrance.

What happens and what can you do if your request is rejected?

If the Agency refuses your request for rectification, restriction or erasure, we will inform you in writing within one month of receipt of the request why we have been unable to comply with your request and inform you of your legal remedies and that you can lodge a complaint with the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information. Our response will be sent by email if you agree to this.

What are your rights if you consider the data processing unlawful?

If you have concerns about the lawfulness of the data processing, you have the right to object to the data processing. The objection must include a request that we stop processing your data and delete your data.

If you object to the processing of your personal data, the Agency will examine the grounds for your objection within one month, take a decision on the merits and notify you in writing of its decision.

What remedies are available to you?

If you believe that our Agency is processing your personal data in breach of the provisions of the GDPR, you as the data subject have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (i.e. a public authority established by any EU Member State under Article 51 of the GDPR) – in particular in the Member State where you are habitually resident, employed or where the alleged breach occurred. In Hungary, the supervisory body established in accordance with the criteria set out in Article 51 of the GDPR is the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (hereinafter “NAIH” or “the Authority”). Accordingly, the following section provides details of the possibility to lodge a complaint with the NAIH. Please note, however, that you are not only entitled to lodge a complaint with the Authority, as set out above, but also with any supervisory authority established in an EU Member State.

Notification to the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information

If the personal data breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, the Agency shall inform you, as the data subject, of the personal data breach without undue delay.
