The Hungarian DPA fined an organisation and its chair approximately €8000 each for failing to inform the signatories of a campaign about the processing of their personal data and several other GDPR violations.
English Summary
Facts
The controllers are an organisation and its Chair.
In October 2020, the Chair launched a signature campaign against the introduction of compulsory vaccination both online and on paper. In addition to the purpose of the petition, the signatories were given the option to give their consent to be informed and contacted about the political activities of the Chair, thus indicating their political sympathy. They collected nearly 58,000 supporting signatures.
Holding
The DPA fined both controllers approximately € 8000 (HUF 3,000,000) each. Moreover, the DPA ordered the controllers to obtain valid consent from the data subjects and, in case of failure, delete the respective personal data. It also prohibited the controllers for the future from managing the data in the same way. The decision is based on several violations of the GDPR.
First, the controllers processed the personal data without valid consent and therefore without a legal basis. The requirements for consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR were not fulfilled. Furthermore, since personal data revealing one's political opinions constitutes a special category of personal data under Article 9(1) GDPR, explicit consent (Article 9(2)(a) GDPR) would have been necessary for part of the processing operations. However, the controllers had not used two-factor authentication and the privacy policy was misleading. The DPA found that the data subject had not been able to express their will, making the consent invalid.
Second, the DPA found a violation of the principle of data minimisation, Article 5(1)(b) GDPR. It found that the controllers had in reality intended to build a sympathy mass data base.
Third, the controllers violated the principles of fairness, lawfulness and transparency pursuant to Article 5(1)(a) GDPR by misleading the data subjects about the purposes of data processing and the identity of the controller. In addition, Article 13 GDPR was violated because the controllers did not provide the data subjects with all information necessary.
Fourth, the DPA found an infringement of the principle of accountability, Article 5(2) GDPR because the controllers could not provide their compliance with Article 5(1) GDPR. In particular, the controllers did not carry out the data processing in such a way that they could prove at any time their compliance with the GDPR.
Finally, the DPA criticised the general conduct of the controllers in the proceedings. The controllers had not cooperated with the DPA.
When deciding on the fine, the DPA took into consideration the significance of the infringements since they concerned a current social issue, the large number of data subjects concerned, and the duration of the infringement.

III. Decision of the Authority
III.1. The quality of data management
III.1.1. Customer1 data management quality
Information provided to stakeholders, including in the privacy statement available on the website
the national signature collection was initiated by Customer1 and “Each of the recorded data
the controller is the Common Denominator ’. The prospectus is therefore clearly Customer1
listed as a data controller. Personal data collected in connection with the collection of signatures
One of the purposes indicated in the data management information is to collect signatures
and specifically with the organization’s sympathizers
contact, information about the organization's activities and events, and a call
to join your organization's campaigns. Also on the paper-based signature collection sheet
the Customer1 or the logo containing its abbreviated name as information referring to the data controller
is indicated.
In addition, however, there is no documentable association decision that is
may be linked to the collection of signatures or on the basis of which a body of the Client1 would have dealt
by collecting signatures.
Based on the information revealed during the proceedings of the Authority, it emerged that the Client1 is a classic
does not function as a party within the meaning of Article
the legitimacy of its operation is questionable. This is supported, inter alia, by the Authority
In the course of the proceedings, the letters sent to the Customer's registered office1 were all marked "not sought", 16
back; that the Tax and Customs Directorate of NAV-Budapest was dated 18 November 2019
deleted the Customer's tax number by its decision; that the http://kozosnevezo.hu website is also
has become unavailable, and […], the statement of the party member, founder, and according to Client2
in the meantime, the renamed Customer1 no longer carries out significant activities, Customer1 as of 2018
was no longer active after the parliamentary elections, and the actual activities were no longer a
They take place behind an organization called the Party of Normal Life.
In the replies sent to the Authority's inquiries, the Client2 mentions one in several places
not named and not supported by any other data or evidence other than
A person or organization other than Customer1 or Customer2. In contrast, the procedure
from the declarations of the persons covered and from the documentary evidence obtained by the Authority
no other stakeholders in the data management operations were determined to decide on the data processing
a person who has defined the purpose or means of the processing. Such
person was not nominated by the parties heard and made a statement and is wide by the Authority
nor could it be inferred from the documentary evidence obtained.
Given that Customer1 provided the name for the signature collection, the online signature collection
The Customer1 is indicated on the interface and on the paper - based signature collection sheet, and the
The Customer1 is also explicitly designated as a data controller in the data management information, of which
consequently, the Client1 shall be considered a data controller in this respect, despite the fact that a
according to the available information, Customer1 is no longer operational in practice.
III.1.2. Customer2 data management quality
The Authority will send its first inquiries to Client1 to Client2 as Chair of Client1
addressed him and then declared him as a client in the proceedings as an individual.
Based on the evidence available to the Authority, the Client1 only operates on paper, it is actual
it does not operate legally, it does not hold regular meetings of members. Not available
a documentable decision that would demonstrate that in the context of signature collection
Customer1 would have made a decision despite the signature collection of Customer1's name
used.
In its reply to the Authority dated 31 May 2021, the Client2 - no longer the Client1
but as an independent person, he said that he was in charge of the administration
previously resigned, so he has no opportunity to answer the questions raised by the Authority
to answer, he has no information about the questions asked, the signatures are not his
has not carried out any activities in the collection of signatures and does not store them
nothing related to signature collection. As stated in the statement in the collection of signatures
did not perform any activity, only performs or performed tasks out of favor,
which, however, are not related to the questions asked by the Authority.
Client2 made several statements in the social media during the fact-finding exercise
statements made by the Authority in the course of the proceedings
however, they contradict these claims.
The role of Customer2 in data management is supported by the following:
According to his statement in his reply dated 14 December 2020, on the signature collection sheet
he receives the sheets received at the specified mailbox as the return address.
The mailbox address marked as the return address on the signature collection form is unchanged for the Customer1
change in registered data (name of organization, registered office, representative)
notwithstanding, the sheets returned by post, and thus the personal data provided by those concerned
data will continue to be in the possession of the Customer2 on the basis of a previous statement., 17
In addition to performing data management, the quality of the Customer's 2 data controllers is supported by the following:
i. Shipments mailed to Customer1's previous location were not picked up and marked
there was no person at the headquarters who would have been entitled to receive the consignments. […]
the registered office of the Client1, who is only a member of the association and does not hold a senior position, was registered at the address of
under the chairmanship of Client2. The Authority shall also send its inquiries and orders to the address of the Client2
to which the Customer2 received the Authority's inquiries three times. Customer1-
could only be contacted through Customer2 - which is also not the organization
supports the proper functioning of the Client2, ie the Client2 as the Client1’s
a separate person also had a significant influence in the affairs of the Client1 and in the collection of signatures by
that the name of Customer1 is actually Customer2. Consequently, for data management
decision-making related to the purpose of data management is obviously the responsibility of the Client2-
may be related to.
ii. Customer2 on April 27, 2018. in its statement dated the day of the Common Denominator 2018
resigned as ‘administrator resignation’ (‘resignation statement 1’) The signature of witnesses on the deed is not
included in the proceedings, there was no evidence that Customer2 was the “waiver
statement 1 ”to Client1 or to a legal representative in a change registration procedure
in the absence of these, the "waiver 1" is the intended legal basis
was not suitable for inducing an effect. Customer2 in a statement dated June 17, 2021
(“Waiver 2”) - when Customer2 was already aware of the data protection authority procedure -
has repeatedly resigned from the position of managing director of the Client1, from which the
the conclusion is that he himself did not consider "resignation statement 1" to have any legal effect
considered it appropriate to do so again. Furthermore, in the meantime
Signature collection has started under Customer1. The data management activity is a paper only
it must obviously be done by someone other than an operating organization, which also proves that
the activity of the Client2 was maintained despite his previous resignation from the management. THE
"Resignation statement 2" was submitted in the change registration procedure on 02.08.2021. on the day. THE
The Metropolitan Court deleted Client2 as the senior official of Client1 by the NGOs
from the register.
iii. Client2 has repeatedly promoted signature collection, e.g. the "Doctor Stork"
in a Facebook post posted on October 13, 2020
“Today we are launching an important national initiative [Ezért] That is why the Common Denominator
movement (http://kozosnevezo.hu) due to its public nature and opportunities
A NATIONAL COLLECTION OF SIGNATURES is organized by social pressure
IN THE PURPOSE OF THE SPEECH OF THE PEOPLE AND THE VALIDITY OF THE PEOPLE! About this here
you can find out everything: https://alairasgyujtes.online ”and then in several of your posts
encourages people to support this initiative. Plurals throughout your posts
using it, thus naming himself as the initiator or stating that the collection of signatures
he himself took part in launching it.
arc. Https://444.hu/2020/10/20/godeny-probaljuk-a-tomegbazist- Pick up October 2020
According to an article published on the 20th, the Client2 stated that the questions asked of him during the interview
that he or she was the Customer1 - of which he was the 28 September 2021
behind the collection of signatures and said that one of the main reasons for the collection of signatures
aimed at trying to ‘gather a mass base’. The journalist wrote in the article that
“After I called György Gődény, he answered a bunch of questions. […] Stork for a moment
nor did it hide that one of their main goals with the whole was to try to “gather a mass base”.
Customer2 has therefore stated that it and Customer1 are in charge of collecting signatures, ie
behind the data processing examined in this case. And Client2 did not exalt himself as the chairman of Client1
who, in addition to the Client1, mentioned himself separately from him, thus acknowledging that he,
as an individual data controller., 18
It can also be seen from the interview and the statements made during it that
Client2 was able to answer the substantive questions related to the collection of signatures, he appeared in the
as a competent person for the collection of signatures. Customer2 is apparently in the public mind as well
appears as someone who has had and continues to have a decisive, influential role
in signature collection. It can therefore be concluded that it is relevant to the collection of signatures
information is available to Customer2, such as how the signature is collected,
how long, so the partial decisions related to the collection of signatures can also be linked to the Client2.
v. Even in June 2021, Customer2’s social networking sites identified above
has published a post promoting the collection of signatures, encouraging Customer1 to
no longer referred to in his posts. Customer2 made the entries in his own name.
For example, in his post of 10 June 2021, he called for a motion before a parliament on 20 June
encouraged his followers to collect signatures.
In its entry of 11 June 2021, it also called for support for the initiative, highlighting the
the availability of a website to support the initiative.
vi. […], A member of Client1 testified before the Authority and also stated that a
provided information that Customer1 has an approx. Facebook group with 40,000 members, which
group is still operating, although the association no longer has significant activity
or the Client1 no longer carries out any activity, it is not already a member,
but also supporters, some of whom are connected in Facebook groups. Within the group and
at all, in relation to Customer1, the circle of sympathy compared to the initial composition
exchanged, there is currently activity associated with the coronavirus. Both the former and the
current activity can be linked to the name of the Client2, he would know the meaningful answers to the questions of the Authority
to give according to the witness.
The testimony also confirms that the Customer2 is the key player in the collection of signatures
the face of both the signature collection and the organizer of the campaign on the issue,
central person.
III.1.3. Summarizing the above, the Authority has established that the signature collection is the name of the Customer1
one of its purposes is to sympathize with the Customer1 organization
further contact and information for them. Accordingly, the collection of signatures
The Customer1 is also listed on its website and on the paper-based signature collection form, as well as on the website
also available data management information as the data manager of the data management specifically for the Customer1
marks. Consequently, Customer1 is named as the data controller and for the purpose of data management
Client1 can be linked, therefore the Authority considers Client1 to be a data controller in this respect
he looked at.
In addition to the above, the Authority found that Customer2 is the technical background for the collection of signatures
played a prominent role in the provision and execution of the signature, collecting signatures on its own behalf
promoted as an activist in the field of signature collection,
acted as his key figure. These are clearly supported by the Customer2 in the collection of signatures, respectively
decisive factor in the management of data in connection with the collection of signatures
which had to play a key role in data management decisions
spread, ie decisions were made by Customer2. This role is not just about collecting signatures
participation, the performance of certain data management operations, but also the Client2 as
the quality of the data controller of the individual and the corresponding responsibilities. This is the data controller
liability is supported in particular by the fact that it is decisive for Customer2
had an influence on the decision on data management, to determine the purpose of data management, that

that he was behind the collection of signatures, as evidenced by the testimony of the witness. Therefore, the
The Authority shall also determine the quality of the Client2 's data controller with regard to the examined data management
III.1.4. In the Authority's view, it cannot be an organization that does not actually operate
or on its behalf so that the actual
data processing is disguised and personal relationships are unclear.

As emphasized by the Authority in Part I of its recommendation to political parties, no
it is an acceptable situation that no one should be held responsible for the processing of data - especially one
during the national collection of signatures, which is also ongoing online, and
they try to avoid liability by claiming that the organization is not working, is
they know nothing about data management and do nothing. It contradicts those statements
in particular, the collection of signatures is still ongoing.
According to the Authority, it is not permissible for such data controllers to be relieved of their responsibilities in this way
data controllers collect personal data irresponsibly and without consequences,
they are used.
Furthermore, the fact that Customer1 is referred to as a “movement” does not mean that
that by perceiving a legal person as a “movement”, due to the indeterminacy of the participants a
liability of the legal person and the ‘movement’ and a
compliance with the legislation could be waived.
Based on the above, the Authority considers both Client1 and Client2 to be data controllers.
turn. The Authority examined it in accordance with Article 26 of the General Data Protection Regulation
and whether they are common controllers or parallel controllers. On this
As a result of the investigation, the Authority concluded that Client1 and Client2 were common
they are considered to be data controllers because there are no two separate data management or separate data management purposes
in terms of the data management examined, but also the qualities and responsibilities of the data controller
they exist in an atypical way, yet in the data controller construct examined in the present case
are inextricably linked. The role of the two data controllers in this Decision
cannot be separated more precisely than in the light of the procedural difficulties and the
lack of cooperation.
Accordingly, the Authority considered Client1 and Client2 to be joint controllers and this
established the liability of both of them despite the fact that Customer2 is the data controller
his quality was not recognized.
The legal classification of the violations committed in the case and the established
Furthermore, with regard to the legal consequences, it is irrelevant that parallel data controllers,
or customers are considered common data controllers.
III.2. Legality of information on data processing
It is closely linked to the validity of the consent that it be preceded by appropriate information
this is necessary in order for those concerned to be aware that they are specific
what they agree to know the details of the data management and exercise their consent
their right to withdraw. The person concerned is in possession of the relevant information

Failing this, the legal basis for consent, ie data processing, will be invalid.
1A Authority Recommendation on certain data protection requirements relating to the data management of political parties and organizations (February 2021
19.): “According to the experience of the Authority, one of the biggest shortcomings before the start of data processing is the lack of data controllers,

Article 5 (1) (a) and (b) of the GDPR and, in this context, Article 39
Recital 1 states that it must be transparent to natural persons,

Article 13 of the GDPR defines what information is available to data subjects

III.2.1. In the Authority's view, the website is not sufficiently transparent, clear and unambiguous

The fairness and lawfulness of the processing of data subjects' personal data, inter alia,
may be established if the data subject has been duly informed that:
personal data is collected for two different data processing purposes and specifically for naming purposes

The legal basis in the data protection prospectus is Article 9 (2) (a) of the GDPR,

which the regulation prohibits as a general rule or makes subject to strict conditions. THE

III.2.2. In the Authority's view, the data collection sheet is on the signature collection sheet

With regard to the prospectus on the signature collection form, the Authority notes that
the data subjects have not been properly informed, inter alia, of the legal basis and the purposes of the data processing,

The signature collection form does not specifically mention the data controller, only the Customer1
an emblem with its abbreviated name is shown on the sheet. Personal information collected
information on the duration of storage is also not included in the text on the sheet.
III.2.3. Based on the above, the Authority concludes that the controllers do not provide the

III.3. Online data collection

In addition to paper-based data collection, the signature collection is available at https://alairasgyujtes.online

Despite the call of the Authority, the Client2 did not specify the legal basis of the data processing, the

According to the data protection prospectus, the legal basis for data processing is, on the one hand, that

In addition, the prospectus indicated the GDPR
Article 9 (2) (d). Furthermore, the legal basis for data processing is not regular for the data subject

As detailed in the Privacy Notice, making a statement of consent is subject to

The Authority emphasizes that during the testing of https://alairasgyujtes.online, it found that
Contrary to what is stated in the privacy statement, when supporting the collection of signatures online
the data controller does not send the opportunity to confirm the consent for the e-mail contact provided

The Privacy Notice therefore collects personal data from data subjects as described above
treats it as a special category of personal data.
Pursuant to Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR, the processing of personal data is lawful if it

According to the data protection information sheet, the purpose of data management is to support the collection of signatures by:

Personal data processed for the purpose of political contact is therefore accordingly

The obvious way to be convinced is that consent is given in a written statement

As stated in the privacy statement, the data controller will confirm your consent
apply the two-step verification method described above in practice
however, this method of confirming consent was not used.
In order for the data subject to be able to express his will in concrete terms, it is therefore necessary that,
data controller by obtaining consent related to data management activities
clearly separate related information from information on other issues.
Recital 42 of the General Data Protection Regulation also states that the controller
you must provide a pre-arranged statement of consent that is clear and easy to use
it must be made available in an accessible form and its language must be clear and
it must be clear and not contain unfair terms.
In the Authority's view, the provision of personal data on the online interface is on the one hand

on the other hand, it is not the original

Recital 32 of the GDPR states that data processing can only take place if:

data management serves more than one purpose at a time, you can contribute to all data management purposes
to be provided separately. If the data controller does not attempt to make each
ask for consent separately for this purpose, there is a lack of freedom of decision.
In the Authority's view, the lawfulness of the processing of the personal data of the data subjects at that time
can be established if the data subject is used for all data processing purposes
may have contributed separately to its management.
By giving consent as explained above, they are not concerned
clear and specific expression of his will, the data processing is not considered valid
legal basis. The Authority notes that data controllers handle it without a valid legal basis

Paragraph 1. As these data are also data for political contacts a
special categories of personal data and their processing, among other things
it is possible, if the data subject has given his or her express consent, the
data processing also infringes Article 9 (1) of the General Data Protection Regulation.
III.3.2. Purposefulness of data collection
Article 5 (1) (b) of the GDPR provides for the principle of purposeful data processing, which
personal data may only be collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes,
and may not be treated in a way incompatible with those purposes.
According to the prospectus, the purpose of data management is to support the collection of national signatures,
on the other hand, the Client1’s contact with the data subject as a sympathizer, the data subject
informing the Client about its activities and events, and sending invitations to the Client1
to join its campaigns, i.e. as in the client2’s multiple press releases
further purpose of collecting signatures is to try to “gather a mass base”.
The privacy statement refers only in general terms to the “national

The data protection information sheet also refers to the collection of national signatures of a general nature with the same content
information., 24
In the course of the procedure, the Authority found that the data protection reference was specific
"Support for the collection of national signatures" for data management purposes only in support of the initiative
“I agree that no one should be vaccinated
no one shall be subjected to any form of restraint or punishment. " text
indicates that the data protection notice does not indicate this specific purpose, while data management is different
the purpose for which the data will be collected for subsequent contact purposes, is
the interface for collecting data and supporting the initiative does not reveal that
The Authority considers that it is misleading for supporters of the initiative. The signatories
for, in a deceptive way, only the initiative is paramount on the data collection interface
the purpose of which is communicated by the controller, while there is no invitation to the signatory

provides information in a privacy statement.
Compliance with the purpose limitation principle requires, inter alia, specificity
the definition of the purpose stated before the start of the data processing and its
understandable, non-ambiguous and non-misleading communication to stakeholders.
On the basis of the information available, the Authority shall
noted that the purpose of collecting personal data is not in fact to collect signatures,
that is, support for the petition, but also for those interested in the subject, sympathizers, or personal
collecting their data.
This is borne out, among other things, by the fact that it is literally the same as the question of collecting signatures
as a matter of referendum proposed by the initiator of the Civil Movement Association earlier
(27 August 2020) was submitted to the National Electoral Commission. For the referendum
However, the National Electoral Committee (IX.21.) NVB
in its decision, however, in the privacy statement for the collection of signatures
misleading reference or information that the signature collection sheets are
intended to be handed over, presented as a petition. This is also indicated in the statement2 of the Customer2, which a
Article published on October 20, 2020 (https://444.hu/2020/10/20/godeny-probaljuk-a-tomegbazist-
to answer the question asked during the interview: “If you succeed more than 200 thousand
to collect a signature, a referendum initiative could be considered, the
pharmacist.".
So the collection of signatures, data collection is still in progress on an issue that
referendum on this issue is not possible and the stated purpose of the petition is clearly no longer
feasible. The real purpose of data processing is, in the Authority's view, the collection of personal data
to build a sympathy database, to create a mass base, but it is not clear whose
because Customer1 exists only on paper. This establishes that data management
purpose is unclear and unrealistic, so data controllers violate the general
the principle of purpose limitation under Article 5 (1) (b) of the Data Protection Regulation.
III.3.3. Infringement of the principle of due process
Article 5 (1) (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation provides for a fair procedure
the principle that personal data must be processed fairly.
In the course of the procedure, the Authority found that during the collection of signatures - Annex III.1. point
as detailed - the quality of the data controller is not sufficiently clarified, the data subjects
misleadingly informing the controller and a person not actually working
party is called data controller., 25
Information about the purpose of data processing is also misleading. A III.3.2. explained in point
on the one hand, it is misleading because the signatories on the data collection interface are not informed of the
on the other hand, for the purpose of collecting signatures
the purpose is indicated by the controller, which is a manifestly impossible purpose, as it is a well-known fact that
that the issue is not suitable for a referendum, its authentication by the National Electoral Commission
rejected it earlier for several reasons.
Based on the above, it can be concluded that the data processing is unfair, thus the data controllers
breach of Article 5 (1) (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation
the principle of a fair trial.
III.4. Paper-based signature collection
During the collection of signatures, according to the signature collection form that can be downloaded from the website, the parties involved are as follows
personal data is collected: name, address (postcode, town, name of public place,
house number / em. / door), e-mail contact, telephone number and signature. Privacy is available on the website
also available on the website in the signature collection form
reference is not included anyway - an ID number is assigned to the data subject's data
the data management consent can be documented. The signature collection sheet for each data set collected
it is not specified whether they are mandatory or optional.
The following information, which can be assessed as information on the legal basis of the data processing, can be found on the signature collection form:
veg: “By providing the information on the summary form and signing the signature collection form
I consent to the disclosure of my data on the right to self-determination of information and the

Until 25 May 2018, the main rules on data protection in Hungary will be regulated by Infotv. contain-
From that date, the GDPR is mandatory and directly applicable to the signature collector
However, the short information text in the form is in the Infotv. Section 5 (1) a)
refers to the legal basis of the consent indicated.
According to the statement of the Customer2, the data subjects have their personal data both online and on paper
provided voluntarily during the collection of signatures on this basis.
The pre-worded statement on the signature collection form is limited to “additional
for the purpose of communication, consultation and information "
refers to consent. However, the purpose of collecting signatures is not only to maintain further contact, and
related database building, but also support for the initiative, for which only it
Signature sheet "I agree that no one should be required to be vaccinated and that no
no one shall be punished or restricted. " main title refers to.
An important conceptual element of consent is that the request for consent is preceded by appropriate information
me. Article 5 (1) (a) and (b) of the GDPR and, in this context, Article 39
Recital 1 states that it must be transparent to natural persons,
how they collect and use their personal data about them
considered or otherwise treated, and in the context of a
the extent to which personal data is and will be processed. The principle of transparency applies
also to inform data subjects about the purposes of data processing. Personal data management is specific
their objectives are explicitly stated and legitimate, and are already personal
they must be specified at the time of data collection
It can therefore be concluded that data subjects have their personal data as "support for the initiative".
for the purpose of "contact, consultation and information"
their consent is given by completing the signature collection form, ie personal data
the legal basis for the management of the data subject is the consent of the data subjects.
The Authority has determined that the information on which the statement of consent is based is correct
however, the information on the signature sheet is inadequate, as indicated in Annex III.2.2.
as detailed in point 1 - is not exhaustive and therefore the consent cannot be considered
informed. However, despite the lack of information, the Authority is concerned
does not consider its consent to data processing to be invalid if it
data controllers requesting confirmation of their consent with appropriate information
obtain a statement from those concerned.
III.5. Infringement of the principle of accountability
The Authority points out that, in accordance with Article 5 (2) of the General Data Protection
essentially the objective responsibility and enhanced diligence of the controller
Due to the fundamental requirement of accountability formulating
the obligation to prove that the conditions for the lawfulness of data processing - data processing
from the beginning - they persist. To the data controller from the planning of data management
from the start of data processing to the deletion of all personal data processed
you must carry out the data processing operation in such a way that you can prove at any time that
how you complied with data protection regulations. Based on the principle of accountability,
the data controller must implement the data management throughout the data processing process
operations in order to be able to demonstrate compliance with data protection rules. The
the principle of accountability can therefore be interpreted not only in general, at the process level, but in all
specific data processing activity, the processing of personal data of a specific data subject
also applies to
The Authority states that data controllers do not guarantee the lawfulness and transparency of data processing
certified to the Authority, did not declare that the personal data collected
how and what it is used for, where the data is stored, and what the real purpose of data management is.
Based on the above, it can be concluded that the data controllers by not approaching the Authority
lawfulness of the data processing, breach of Article 5 of the General Data Protection Regulation.
principle of accountability set out in Article 2 (2).
III.6. Other findings
