General Principles of Data Processing
The Data Controller declares that it processes personal data in accordance with this policy and complies with the GDPR, Infotv., and all other relevant legislation, focusing on the following:
- Data must be processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently.
- Data must be collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes.
- Data must be adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for the purpose.
- Data must be accurate and up to date; inaccurate data must be erased without delay.
- Data must be stored only for the minimum duration necessary for the processing purpose.
- Data must be processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and accidental loss.
Important Data Processing Information
Personal data is processed solely to exercise rights or fulfill obligations under the GDPR and Infotv., respecting the principle of purpose limitation. Data must comply with the purpose at all stages; if the purpose ceases or processing becomes unlawful, the data will be erased.

- Request rectification of data.
