To that end, it asked the Hungarian State Treasury and the government office of the fourth district of Budapest to provide it with the personal data needed to verify the eligibility requirements for receiving the aid.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nAfter being alerted by a report, the Hungarian authority responsible for data protection (\u2018the supervisory authority\u2019) found that the \u00dajpest administration, the Hungarian State Treasury and the government office had breached the rules of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Fines were imposed on that basis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nThe supervisory authority found that the \u00dajpest administration had not informed the data subjects, within the onemonth period provided for that purpose, of the actual use of their data, the purpose thereof, or of their rights in relation to data protection. It also ordered the \u00dajpest administration to erase the data of eligible persons who had not applied for the support. The \u00dajpest administration has contested that decision before the Budapest High Court (Hungary). It argues that the supervisory authority does not have the power to order the erasure of personal data in the absence of a prior request made to that effect by the data subject.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nThe Hungarian court has sought an interpretation of the GDPR from the Court of Justice. In its judgment, the Court of Justice responds that the supervisory authority of a Member State may order of its<br \/>\nown motion, namely even in the absence of a prior request made by the data subject to that effect, the erasure of unlawfully processed data if such a measure is necessary in order to fulfil its responsibility for<br \/>\nensuring that the GDPR is fully enforced. If that authority finds that the treatment of data does not comply with the GDPR, it must remedy the infringement found, even without a prior request from the data subject. A requirement that there be such a request would mean that the controller, where no request is made, could retain the data at issue and continue to process them unlawfully.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nMoreover, the supervisory authority of a Member State may order the erasure of unlawfully processed personal data both where those data originate directly from the data subject or originate from another source.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 99.9988%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: double; border-color: #001f7d;\" cellpadding=\"0,5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/la-comision-lleva-a-hungria-ante-el-tribunal-de-justicia-de-la-ue-por-incumplimiento-de-las-normas-comunitarias-sobre-comunicaciones-electronicas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/frank-okay-R1J6Z1cnJZc-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"134\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/en\/commission-refers-hungary-to-the-court-of-justice-of-the-eu-for-failure-to-comply-with-eu-electronic-communications-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Commission refers HUNGARY to the Court of Justice of the EU for failure to comply with EU electronic communications rules<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/curia.europa.eu\/jcms\/upload\/docs\/application\/pdf\/2024-03\/cp240048en.pdf\">CURIA<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Such erasure may cover data collected from that person and data originating from another source.
