11. Rights of data subjects and legal remedies

The data subject may request information about the processing of their personal data, and may request the rectification of their personal data and, with the exception of mandatory processing, their erasure or withdrawal, and may exercise their right to data portability and to object in the manner indicated when the data was collected, or via the data controller's contact details above.

The rights of data subjects and their legal remedies are set out below and communicated to data subjects on the basis of Act CXII of 2011 and Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

The right to information, also known as the data subject's “right of access”: under Act CXII of 2011 and Article 15 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, at the data subject's request, the Data Controller provides information on

  • the data it processes and the categories of personal data,
  • the purpose of processing,
  • the legal basis of processing,
  • the duration of processing,
  • where applicable, the period for which the data will be stored, or if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period,
  • where applicable, if the data was not collected from the data subject, all available information about its source,
  • where applicable, automated decision-making, including profiling, and meaningful information about the logic involved and the significance of such processing, and
  • the envisaged consequences for the data subject,
  • the details of the data processor, if one was used; the circumstances and effects of any personal data breach and the measures taken to remedy it; and
  • in the case of transfer of the data subject's personal data, the legal basis, purpose and recipient of the transfer.

The information is free of charge if the person requesting it has not yet submitted a request for information on the same set of data to the Data Controller in the current year. In other cases, a fee may be charged. A fee already paid must be refunded if the data was processed unlawfully or if the request for information led to rectification.

The Data Controller draws data subjects' attention to the fact that, under Act CXII of 2011, information must be refused

  1. if, on the basis of a law, an international treaty or a binding legal act of the European Union, the Data Controller receives personal data in such a way that the transferring controller indicates, at the time of transfer, a restriction of the rights of the data subject under the said Act or another restriction of its processing;
  2. in the interest of the external and internal security of the state, such as national defense, national security, the prevention or prosecution of criminal offenses, the security of the enforcement of sentences, as well as in the economic or financial interest of the state or local governments, significant economic or financial interests of the European Union, and for the prevention and detection of disciplinary and ethical offenses related to the practice of professions and breaches of labor law and occupational safety obligations (including in all cases inspection and supervision), and for the protection of the rights of the data subject or others.

The Data Controller is obliged to notify the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of rejected requests for information annually, by January 31 of the year following the year concerned.

Right to rectification: the data subject is entitled to have the Data Controller rectify inaccurate personal data concerning them without undue delay at their request. Taking into account the purpose of processing, the data subject is entitled to request that incomplete personal data be completed, including by means of a supplementary statement. At the same time, if the personal data does not correspond to reality and the correct personal data is available to the Data Controller, the Data Controller rectifies the personal data as a matter of obligation, even without the data subject's request.

Right to erasure, also known as the “right to be forgotten”: the data subject is entitled to have the Data Controller erase personal data concerning them without undue delay at their request, and the Data Controller is obliged to erase personal data concerning the data subject without undue delay, unless this is precluded by mandatory processing.

In addition to the above case, the Data Controller is obliged to erase the data under Act CXII of 2011 and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council if

  • the processing of the data is unlawful;
  • the data is incomplete or incorrect, and this cannot be lawfully remedied, provided that erasure is not precluded by law;
  • the purpose of processing has ceased, or the statutory time limit for storing the data has expired;
  • it has been ordered by a court or the Authority;
  • the personal data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or otherwise processed;
  • the data subject objects to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing;
  • the personal data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation under the law applicable to the Data Controller;
  • the personal data was collected in connection with the offer of information society services offered directly to children, as referred to in Article 8(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

If the Data Controller has made the personal data public for any reason and is obliged to erase it under the above, it takes reasonable steps, including technical measures, taking into account available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform other controllers processing the data that the data subject has requested the erasure of any links to, or copies or replications of, the personal data in question.

The Data Controller draws data subjects' attention to the limitations of the right to erasure, or “right to be forgotten”, arising from the EU regulation, which are as follows:

  1. exercising the right to freedom of expression and information;
  2. compliance with an obligation under Union or Member State law applicable to the controller that requires the processing of personal data, or the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  3. public interest in the area of public health;
  4. archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, insofar as the right to erasure is likely to render impossible or seriously impair such processing; or
  5. the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Right to restriction of processing, also known as the right to blocking: the data subject is entitled to have the Data Controller restrict processing at their request.
If, based on the information available, it can be assumed that erasure would harm the legitimate interests of the data subject, the data must be blocked. Personal data blocked in this way may only be processed for as long as the processing purpose that precluded the erasure of the personal data exists.

If the data subject contests the accuracy or correctness of the personal data, but the incorrectness or inaccuracy of the contested personal data cannot be clearly established, the Data Controller blocks the data. In this case, the restriction applies for a period enabling the Data Controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.

Under the EU regulation, data must be blocked if

  1. the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the data and requests the restriction of its use instead;
  2. the Data Controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or
  3. the data subject has objected to the processing; in this case, the restriction applies until it is established whether the Data Controller's legitimate grounds override those of the data subject.

Where processing is restricted (blocked), such personal data may, with the exception of storage, only be processed with the data subject's consent, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

The Data Controller hereby expressly draws data subjects' attention to the fact that the data subject's right to rectification, erasure and blocking may be restricted by law in the interest of the external and internal security of the state, such as national defense, national security, the prevention or prosecution of criminal offenses, the security of the enforcement of sentences, as well as in the economic or financial interest of the state or local governments, significant economic or financial interests of the European Union, and for the prevention and detection of disciplinary and ethical offenses related to the practice of professions and breaches of labor law and occupational safety obligations (including in all cases inspection and supervision), and for the protection of the rights of the data subject or others.
The Data Controller informs the data subject of the matters specified in their request, and/or rectifies the data, and/or erases and/or restricts (blocks) the data, or takes other steps in accordance with the request, without undue delay and at the latest within 30 days of receipt of the request, unless there are grounds precluding this.

The Data Controller notifies the data subject in writing of the rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, as well as everyone to whom the data was previously transferred or disclosed for processing. At the data subject's request, the Data Controller informs them of these recipients. Notification may be omitted if, in view of the purpose of processing, it does not harm the legitimate interests of the data subject, or if providing the information proves impossible or would involve disproportionate effort. The Data Controller is also obliged to notify the data subject in writing if the exercise of the data subject's rights cannot be fulfilled for any reason, and must specify the factual and legal grounds as well as the legal remedies available to the data subject: the possibility of turning to a court or to the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.

The “right to data portability”: the data subject is entitled to

  1. receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to the Data Controller, in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, and is also entitled to
  2. transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data was provided, where:
  3. the processing is based on consent; and
  4. the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising the right to data portability, the data subject is entitled to request, where technically feasible, the direct transmission of personal data between controllers.
Given the processing carried out by the Data Controller, the conditions for exercising the right to data portability are not met (there is no automated processing), so the data subject cannot exercise this right.

Right to object: the data subject may object to the processing of their personal data, including profiling, if

  • the processing (transfer) of the personal data is necessary solely for the enforcement of the rights or legitimate interests of the Data Controller or the recipient, except in the case of mandatory processing;
  • the personal data is used or transferred for direct marketing, public opinion polling or scientific research;
  • the exercise of the right to object is otherwise permitted by law.

Under Article 21(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the data subject may also object to the processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes, in which case the personal data may no longer be processed for this purpose.

Where personal data is processed for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
The Data Controller, while simultaneously suspending the processing, examines the objection within the shortest possible time from the submission of the request, but no later than within 30 days, and informs the applicant of the result in writing. If the applicant's objection is justified, the Data Controller terminates the processing, including any further data collection and transfer, blocks the data, and notifies everyone to whom it previously transferred the personal data concerned by the objection, and who are obliged to take measures to enforce the right to object, of the objection and the measures taken on its basis.

If the data subject does not agree with the Data Controller's decision, or if the Data Controller fails to meet the said deadline, the data subject is entitled to turn to a court within 30 days of its communication.
The data subject has the right to object in connection with automated decision-making.

Judicial remedy: in the event of a violation of their rights, the data subject may turn to a court. The court handles the case as a matter of priority. The Data Controller is obliged to prove that the processing complies with the provisions of the law.

In the event of a violation of the right to informational self-determination, you may file a report or complaint with:
