Frequently Asked Questions

A GDPR vagy az általános adatvédelmi rendelet olyan harmonizált szabályrendszert hoz létre, amely az Európai Gazdasági Térségben (EGT) letelepedett szervezetek (állami vagy magánjogi szervezetek, méretüktől függetlenül) vagy az EU-ban magánszemélyeket célzó valamennyi személyesadat-kezelésre alkalmazandó. A GDPR elsődleges célja annak biztosítása, hogy a személyes adatok az EGT-ben mindenütt ugyanolyan magas szintű védelmet élvezzenek, növelve a jogbiztonságot mind az egyének, mind az adatokat kezelő szervezetek számára, és magas szintű védelmet nyújtva az egyének számára.

A rendelet 2016. május 24-én lépett hatályba, és 2018. május 25-től alkalmazandó.

Controllers should formally submit their EU-wide certification criteria to:

  1. the competent data protection authority (DPA) in the EEA country where the scheme owners have their headquarters;
  2. the competent data protection authority (DPA) in the EEA country where a certification body operating the certification mechanism have their headquarters, considering the member state in which the most certificates are likely to be issued.

Under the GDPR, certification is conducted by national certification bodies or by the competent national data protection authorities (Art. 42(5) GDPR).

For further information, we recommend contacting the relevant national DPA for your organisation. You can find a overview of all EEA DPAs here.

We are constantly working on the translation of our documents into the official EU languages.
All static content, as well as press releases and documents officially adopted by the Board, such as Guidelines, will be made available in these languages.

This process takes time and various steps need to be completed in order to provide translations of the best quality.

Please note that documents undergoing public consultation are usually not translated. It is only after the public consultation has been concluded and a final version of the document has been adopted by the Board that these documents will be translated.

The GDPR puts in place clear procedures in case of a data breach. If a data breach poses a risk, companies and organisations holding your data have to inform the relevant data protection authority within 72 hours or without undue further delay. If the leak poses a high risk to you, then you must also be informed personally.

For more information on data breaches, please consult the EDPB Data Protection Guide for small business.
