AESA Hungary’s Privacy Policy in accordance with GDPR
BACKGROUND
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), adopted in April 2016, and enforceable starting on 25 May 2018. The mentioned EU Directive regulates the processing of personal data regardless of whether such processing is automated or not (Personal data is: "any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"); an identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to his physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social identity;" (art. 4 of GDPR).
This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data wholly or partly by automated means and to the processing other than by automated means of personal data which form part of a filing system or are intended to form part of a filing system. This Regulation basically comes to establish that the Personal data should not be processed at all, except when certain conditions are met. These conditions must fall only into three categories: transparency, legitimate purpose, and proportionality.
The responsibility for compliance rests on the shoulders of the "controller" or the potential “collector of the data, meaning by controller the natural or artificial person, public authority, agency or any other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
Since AESA Hungary Ltd. is a legal entity, is a potential collector of the personal data of employees and other persons, e.g. experts, therefore AESA Hungary Ltd. is recipient of observance of that directive GDPR.
