Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Mass recruitment

For recordings showing the whole event, its atmosphere or the multitude of participants, under the Civil Code no individual consent is needed to make and use a crowd shot.

14. Data transfers outside the European Economic Area

Some IT service providers used by the Association may, in providing their service, carry out data processing outside the European Economic Area or use a sub-processor operating in such a country.

In the case of international data transfers, the transfer may take place only under the conditions set out in Chapter V of the GDPR. This may happen in particular:

  • or other appropriate safeguards recognised by the GDPR.

Data processing related to Elementor's services may take place in the European Union, Israel and the United States; the provider's DPA requires an adequacy decision or, where necessary, the application of SCCs.

The data subject may request further information from the Association about the safeguards applied.

15. Disclosure to authorities

In cases defined by law, a court, prosecutor's office, investigating authority, tax authority, data protection authority or another authority with an appropriate legal basis may request that personal data or documents be made available.

In such a case, the Association will only:

  • on the basis of a lawful request;
  • to the extent necessary for the purpose of the request;
  • and the applicable legislation

provides the data.

16. Who can access the data?

The Association's staff, officers, volunteers or other contributors may access personal data only to the extent necessary to perform their given task.

Persons with access to the data are obliged to treat personal data confidentially.

17. How do we protect personal data?

The Association applies appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, in particular:

  • unauthorised access;
  • unauthorised alteration;
  • unauthorised transmission or disclosure;
  • accidental or unlawful deletion;
  • loss;
  • destruction or damage.

The Association designs its data security measures taking into account the risks involved in data processing.

The Association limits access of persons involved in data processing to the extent necessary for their tasks.

18. What are your rights?

In relation to data processing you have the following rights, under the conditions set out in the GDPR.

Right of access

You are entitled to request information on whether we process your personal data and, if so, to request access to it and to information about the processing.

Right to rectification

You may request the rectification of inaccurate personal data or the completion of incomplete data.

Right to erasure

In the cases defined in the GDPR, you may request the erasure of your personal data.

The right to erasure is not unlimited: for example, the data may still be processed where necessary for compliance with a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right to restriction of processing

Where the circumstances defined in the GDPR apply, you may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

Right to data portability

In the case of automated processing based on consent or contract, you may be entitled to receive the personal data you provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and – where technically feasible – to have it transmitted to another controller.

Right to object

If the data processing is based on the legitimate interest of the Association or a third party, you may object to the processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation.

In this case we will cease the processing, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Withdrawal of consent

If the data processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing carried out before the withdrawal.

19. How can you exercise your rights?

A request concerning data processing can be submitted using the contact details below:

Postal address

KÖZ-Pont Youth Association, 4026 Debrecen, Darabos utca 14. 6/33.

After receiving the request, the Association will inform you of the measures taken without undue delay, but at the latest within one month.

The GDPR allows the deadline to be extended by a further two months in the case of complex requests or a large number of requests; in such a case the Association will inform you of the reason for the extension within the first month.

Exercising your rights is, as a general rule, free of charge.

In the case of manifestly unfounded or – particularly because of their repetitive nature – excessive requests, a reasonable fee may be charged under the GDPR, or the request may be refused.
