https://nav.gov.hu/print/footer-tartalmak/adatvedelem
NAV uses its own servers for the storage of personal data recorded. NAV uses no other service providers and entrusts no other data controllers for the storage of personal data. NAV will take appropriate IT, technical and personal measures to protect the personal data it processes against, inter alia, unauthorized access or alteration. Thus, for example, access to data stored in NAV’s IT system is logged, i.e. one can always check who, when, and what personal data has accessed.
5. Data subject’s rights in relation to data processing
5.1. Right to access
The data subject will have the right to request information from NAV, via the contact details provided in Section 1 above, as to whether the processing of his/her personal data is in progress and, if such processing is in progress, to find out about
- NAV
- what personal data;
- on what legal basis;
- for what purpose of data processing;
- and for how long is processed by it; and
- to whom, when, under what legal regulation, and which personal data has NAV granted access to, or to whom has it transferred his/her personal data;
- what is the source of his/her personal data (if not provided to NAV by the data subject).
In order to comply with data security requirements and to protect the data subject’s rights, NAV must verify whether the identity of the data subject and that of the person wishing to exercise his/her right of access agree; and, for that purpose, the information provision is linked to the identification of the data subject.
5.2. Right to rectification
The data subject may request NAV in writing to change any of his/her personal data, via the contact details provided in Section 1 above. NAV will perform the request within a maximum of one month and will notify the data subject through the contact details provided.
5.3. Right to deletion
The data subject may request NAV in writing to delete his/her personal data, via the contact details provided in Section 1 above.
NAV will reject the request for deletion if it still has some legal basis for the further storage and use of the data. This is the case, for example, if the time limit for archiving has not expired.
However, in the absence of such an obligation, NAV will perform the request within a maximum of 10 days and will notify the data subject thereof through the contact details provided.
5.4. The right to blocking (to restrict data processing)
Through the contact details specified in Section 1 above, the data subject may request NAV in writing to block his/her personal data (clearly indicating the limited nature of data processing and ensuring that the data is processed separated from other data). The blocking will last as long as the reasons provided by the data subject so require.
The data subject may request NAV to block his/her data, if it is necessary not to delete such data for some official or court proceedings initiated by him/her. In this case, NAV will continue to store his/her personal data until such time when the relevant authority or court contacts it, after which it will delete such data.
5.5. Right to object
The data subject may object to the processing of data at any time for reasons related to his/her situation, through the contact details provided in Section 1 above, if in his/her opinion NAV would not process his/her personal data properly in connection with the purpose stated in this data processing information. In this case, NAV must prove that the processing of personal data is justified by legitimate reasons which take precedence over the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or which are related to the submission, enforcement or protection of legal claims.
