Primary governing regulations:

  • REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Regulation (EC) No 95/46 (General Data Protection Regulation, hereinafter: GDPR)
  • Act CXII of 2011 of Hungary on the Right to Informational Self-Determination and Freedom of Information

Your data, as the data of a user of the website of the Festival (www.bartokspring.hu) and its services, shall be processed only when you have been duly informed and you have given your express consent. In addition, Müpa Budapest shall process data for the performance of a contract with you, for legitimate interests or on the basis of an express legal requirement.

1. THE SECURITY OF YOUR DATA, AND OUR DATA PROCESSING PRINCIPLES

Müpa shall treat your personal data in a manner that is as transparent as possible for the sole purpose of a specific, clear and legitimate purpose, only to the extent required and for the briefest period necessary to achieve the purpose, in a manner that is legitimate and fair in all respects. We pay great attention to ensuring that the data we process is accurate and up-to-date.

However, we are aware that compliance with the above is meaningless if technical and organisational measures are not taken to protect personal data.

That is why we chose our processor partner, Crane Kft. to assist us in processing the majority of our personal data, as it has been operating in accordance with ISO 27001 Information Security Standards since 2017, guaranteeing that your personal data is processed in accordance with the highest standards. Our IT partner, Frontside Kft. also operates Müpa Budapest’s website in accordance with the highest IT and information security standards.

We have also designed our organisational structure, which we operate through strict internal organisational rules and the allocation of different access rights, so that we are able to provide, at all points, the necessary guarantee for the transparency of our data processing and for the security of your personal data. Müpa will not disclose any personal data to third parties without the consent or prior notification of the data subject unless specifically required to do so by law or by instruction of a competent authority. Müpa will make every effort to ensure that your personal data cannot be accessed by any unauthorised person by implementing appropriate technical measures (operation of a single internal IT system).

We organize in-house training and invite external trainers to keep such employees involved in the processing of personal data informed about the latest technical and legal requirements, so as to ensure the processing meets all legal and information security technical requirements at all points.

3. YOUR RIGHTS AND HOW THEY CAN BE ENFORCED

You can demand the following from the Controller, in a letter sent to adatvedelem@mupa.hu:

You may request at any time that the Controller inform you whether they handle your personal data, and if they do, you may ask them to provide you with access to the personal data processed by them. By logging into your user account, you have direct access to your personal data, but you can still request information about the processing of your personal data in writing at any time. Please note that the Controller can only consider a request for information sent by email as authentic if it is sent from the user’s registered email address, but this does not preclude Controller from attempting to identify the applicant in some other way before providing the information.

If you find that the processed personal data that are associated with you are incorrect, you may request that your personal data be corrected. If you are a registered user, you may modify the data yourself through your user profile.

You may request the deletion of your personal data processed by us at any time. Deletion may be refused (i) so that the right to freedom of expression and information may be exercised, or (ii) if the processing of personal data is authorised by law, or (iii) to ensure that legal claims can be presented, pursued or protected. Should the request for deletion be denied, Müpa Budapest shall inform you, indicating the reason for the refusal of the deletion. Former (erased) data can no longer be recovered after the requests for erasure of personal data have been fulfilled.

If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data processed, you may request the Controller to restrict the processing of your personal data. In this case, the restriction shall apply to the period of time which allows us to verify the accuracy of the personal data. You may also request a restriction on data processing if the data processing is carried out unlawfully or its purpose has already been achieved,   

but you object to the deletion of the processed personal data and instead request the restriction of their use.

Upon your request, Müpa is obliged to disclose and/or transfer to another controller the personal data supplied by you and processed by it, in an automated manner in a segmented, widely used, machine-readable format.

You may object to the processing of your personal data at any time (i) if the processing of personal data is necessary solely for the purposes of fulfilling the legal obligation of the Controller (Müpa Budapest), or of pursuing the legitimate interest of the Controller or a third party; (ii) if the purpose of the processing is direct marketing, public opinion or scientific research; or (iii) if the processing takes place in order to perform a task of public interest. Müpa Budapest shall examine the legitimacy of the objection, and if the objection is found to be justified, the processing shall be terminated.

4. DATA PROCESSORS

Personal data processing on behalf of the Controller is carried out by data processors in a contractual relationship with us. The data processor shall not make an independent decision on the data and is entitled to proceed only in accordance with the provisions of the contract concluded with Müpa Budapest and the instructions we provide. We have selected data processors that can guarantee, to the greatest possible extent, the security of your personal data. We require a contractual declaration of compliance with applicable legislation from all our data processing partners, and only upon receipt of this may they carry out any processing on behalf of Müpa Budapest.
