1, The legal rights of natural persons (”data subjects”) in accordance with the GDPR

According to the GDPR, a “data subject” is a natural person living anywhere, who has a relationship with any “data controller” in the EU, or a natural person living in the EU who has a relationship with any data controller outside the EU. The “data controller” is a legal person which determines the means of the processing of personal data. “Personal data” means any information relating to the data subject.

According to the explanation given below, under the GDPR, the data subject has the following specific rights to:

  • Transparent information
  • Access to their data
  • Rectification of inaccurate data
  • Deletion (right to be forgotten) under certain circumstances
  • Withdrawal of consent
  • Request data processing to be restricted
  • Object to data processing
  • Not being subject to automated decision making
  • Data portability
  • Complain to the Supervisory Authority
  • Right to an effective judicial remedy against a data processor or data controller

This data protection policy applies to all these rights as a whole.  In accordance with any of these rights, we will respond to your request without undue delay and in any event within one month, and make every effort to resolve even complex cases within three months. The response will be provided by electronic means, or by other means upon your request.  We will not charge any fee for the first request, but we reserve the right to charge an administrative fee for a repeat request made within one year, or where a request is clearly unfounded or excessive.

Please note: In order to act upon your request, we will need to confirm your identity.

If we do not consider it necessary to take action on your request, we shall inform you in writing of the reasons for not taking action and your options for seeking a judicial remedy.

Apart from these rights, if you believe that GUNDEL has acted improperly in relation to your personal data or data protection, please contact us so that we can remedy the situation and improve the service we provide to our guests. You can make a complaint by email or post; please see the contact details under Section 1.12 Contact GUNDEL regarding the GDPR.

We will endeavour to respond to you without undue delay and within one month at the latest.

1.1. Transparent information

We provide any information required by the GDPR in a concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language. This information shall be provided in writing or by electronic means. At your request, we can also provide the information orally.

We shall help you exercise your rights as explained under Section 1.

You can find our email and postal addresses under Section 1.12 Contact GUNDEL regarding the GDPR.

1.2. Access to their data

You have the right to obtain confirmation from GUNDEL about whether we are processing personal data relating to you and if so, you can request access to the data and to the following information:

  • The purpose of the processing;
  • The categories of personal data concerned;
  • The recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients not based in EU member states;
  • The period for which the personal data will be stored;
  • That you have the right to request from the controller rectification or deletion of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data, or to object to such processing;
  • That you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority;
  • Where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, the source of the data;
  • Whether there is automated decision-making, and if so, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for you;
  • Where personal data are transferred to a country outside the EU, we shall provide an appropriate guarantee that your rights are protected.

1.3. Rectification of inaccurate data

If we are storing personal data which is inaccurate or incomplete, upon receiving a request from you, we shall rectify it without undue delay.

1.4. 1.4. Right to deletion (right to be forgotten)

You have the right to have your personal data deleted and to ask us to comply with your request without undue delay if any of the following grounds apply:

  • The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;
  • You have withdrawn consent and thus there is no legal ground for the processing;
  • Our legitimate interests provide the legal basis for processing your data and you assert that there are no compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms;
  • Your data is being processed for direct marketing purposes and you object to this;
  • We have unlawfully processed your personal data;
  • The personal data must be deleted to comply with a legal obligation imposed on us by EU or Member State law;
  • The legal basis for our processing of a child’s data is consent given by a holder of parental responsibility and either i. You are the child’s parent or guardian and the child in question has not yet reached the age required to consent to their data being processed, or ii. You are the child who has reached the age required to consent to their data being processed. (In Hungary, a person has to be 18 or above to consent to their personal data being processed.)

Please note: We shall not delete your personal data if data processing is necessary for one of the reasons given below:

  • for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
  • for compliance with a legal obligation which requires the data to be processed;
  • for reasons of public interest in the area of public health;
  • for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes, in so far as the request is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
  • for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

1.5. Withdrawal of consent

If you have consented to our processing of your data, you may withdraw that consent at any time.  You can withdraw consent by sending a request to the email address given under Section 2. (Activities), which lists the activities for which we process personal data. Another option is to write to us via the email address given under Section 1.11.

Please note: withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of data processing already undertaken.

1.6. Request data processing to be restricted

You can request that GUNDEL restrict processing of your personal data, where one of the following applies:

  • You contest the accuracy of the personal data;
  • Our processing of your personal data is unlawful, but you oppose the deletion of the personal data and request that their use be restricted instead;
  • We no longer need your personal data for processing purposes, but you require them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
  • You have objected to our processing of your personal data because we have given “our legitimate interests” as the legal basis for that processing, and you assert that your interests, rights and freedoms override our legitimate grounds;

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted based upon your objection, such personal data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your consent; or

  1. for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of
  2. the rights of another person, or
  3. for reasons of important public interest of the EU or of a Member State.

Where data processing has been restricted, we will inform you before the restriction of processing is lifted.

In practice, operational issues may prevent us from restricting the processing of your data in exactly the manner required in the GDPR, but in such cases, we will work with you to find an acceptable solution.

1.7. Object to data processing

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data if:

  • The legal basis for that processing is “our legitimate interests”, but you assert that your interests, rights and freedoms override those interests;
  • We process your data for direct marketing purposes, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. (Profiling means such automated processing to analyse or predict aspects relating to economic situation, personal preferences, or location.) If you make such an objection, we shall no longer process your personal data for such purposes.

1.8. Not being subject to automated decision making 

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

However, this shall not apply in cases where:

  • the decision is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract; or
  • is authorised by EU or Member State law which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests.

In case (a), we must take suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to request human intervention on our part, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

1.9. Data portability

In accordance with the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right, in certain circumstances, to receive the personal data concerning him or her in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. The data subject shall also have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible.

If you request access to your personal data on the basis of Section 1.2 above, we shall place them at your disposal in a commonly used electronic format, unless you expressly request that we send your personal data to you in printed form.

1.10. Complain to the Supervisory Authority 

If you believe that we have infringed your rights or treated you unfairly under the rules of the GDPR, you can complain to the Data Protection Supervisory Authority.  If your main country of residence is a EU member state other than Hungary, you have the right to complain to the Supervisory Authority in that member state.  You can find the names and contact information of the data protection authorities via the link below:

Proceedings against a controller or a processor shall be brought before the courts of the Member State where the controller or processor carries out their activity. Alternatively, such proceedings may be brought before the courts of the Member State where the data subject has his or her habitual residence.

In Hungary, judgement in such proceedings falls under the competence of the courts. The data subject may choose whether to bring the proceedings before the court where they are domiciled or the court at their habitual place of residence.

In addition to the provisions of the GDPR, the provisions of Act V of 2013 on the Hungarian Civil Code Second Volume Part Three Title XII (Section 2:51 – 2:54) shall apply to court proceedings, as well as other legal regulations and procedures on court procedures.
