4./ TERMS
Please note that based on the Regulation, the terms used in this Information Document have the following meanings:
Personal data: any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
Processing: any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
Controller: means a natural or legal person […] which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
Data subject: any natural person identified or identifiable, directly or indirectly, on the basis of personal data.
5./ POSSIBLE LEGAL GROUNDS FOR DATA PROCESSING
5.1./ Based on the Regulation, the processing of personal data is lawful if and to the extent at least one of the following applies:
processing is based on the data subject’s consent,
processing is necessary for the performance and conclusion of a contract,
processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation,
processing is necessary in order to protect vital interests (e.g. a person’s life),
processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party,
processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
5.2./ Where processing is based on consent, the Company as controller will be able to demonstrate that the data subject has consented to processing of his or her personal data. A consent is regarded as an appropriate legal ground for the processing of data if it is based on voluntary, specific, clear and adequate information. The data subject has the right to withdraw his or her consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. Prior to giving consent, the data subject will be informed thereof. It will be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.
5.3./ If data processing is based on a legal act or a contractual obligation, a possible consequence of failure to supply data is that the data subject will not be able to use the Company’s given service or will not be able to establish a legal relationship with the Company.
5.4./ The Company as controller does not verify the personal data supplied. The supplier of the data has sole responsibility for the data supplied.
5.5./ A condition of applying the legal ground of legitimate interest is that the legitimate interest of the Company as controller intended to be protected will be in proportion to the restriction of the right to the protection of personal data. For the purpose of determining this, a prior interest assessment test must be carried out. As part of the interest assessment test, the Company as controller:
will identify its legitimate interest attached to processing the personal data constituting the subject-matter of the interest assessment test,
will determine the data subject’s interests and rights related to the personal data constituting the subject-matter of the interest assessment test,
will evaluate the data subject’s legitimate interests and the controller’s legitimate interests, and based on this will determine whether the personal data can be processed.
INTRODUCTION OF DATA PROCESSING TYPES
(purpose, legal ground, term, range of processed data)
6./ PROCESSING OF DATA OF APPLICANTS AND CONTRACTUAL PARTNERS
6.1./ Short description of processing: As part of its operations, the Company concludes a variety of contracts (in particular, but not limited to contracts of engagement, contracts for work and services, and grant contracts). The Company’s contractual partners are typically legal entitles (legal persons) to which the provisions relating to the processing of personal data do not apply. However, during the Company’s operations natural persons also submit proposals and applications for grants to the Company, and the Company likewise concludes contracts with natural persons. If the applicant or contracting party is not a business association, they are required to supply certain items of personal data to the Company for the submission of an application or the conclusion of a contract.

In the event of processing based on a legitimate interest, an interest assessment test must be carried out, and the data subjects must be informed of the findings thereof. The Company carried out the necessary interest assessment test. The interest assessment test confirms that the Company’s legitimate interest does not impose a disproportionate restriction on the right of contact persons to the protection of their personal data.
7.3./ Purpose of processing: Maintenance of a contractual relationship as a lawful processing purpose.
7.4./ Range of processed personal data: Name, e-mail address and telephone number of appointed contact person.

In every instance, the Company obtains the consent of performing artists and speakers to the recording of their images in the contracts concluded with such performing artists and speakers. The Company operates an access control system at these events, and the processing of personal data is required to enter and maintain the security of the events. The Company informs other persons attending its events of the rules related to the processing of their personal data – images – in the invitation sent in connection with the event and the present Information Document.
10.2./ Legal ground for processing: Data subject’s voluntary consent [Article 6 (1a) of Regulation.]. If natural persons attend a public or private event of the Company, the Company informs the attendees on a preliminary basis that at the event images will be taken and/or video recordings will be made of the attendees. In this case, attendance as implied conduct amounts to voluntary consent to the recording of their images as well as to the processing, use and disclosure by the Company of their images as personal data.

17.2./ This is to inform data subjects that before granting any request for the enforcement of rights, the Company is required to identify the person submitting the request.

17.3./ Any requests related to the exercise of any of the following rights are to be sent by e-mail to the e-mail address info@onewithnature2021.org, or by mail to the Company’s mail address at 1122 Budapest, Maros utca 12.

Data subjects have the right to receive information regarding the processing of their personal data and the enforcement of their rights. In the event of any such request, please contact the Company in writing (in an e-mail message or in a letter sent by post). The Company will provide the requested information as set forth in this Data Processing Information Document, in writing. The Company may refuse a request if it proves that it is unable to identify the data subject. This is to inform data subjects that the right to request information does not extend to data processed on the basis of statutory regulations.
17.5./ Right of access
Data subjects have the right to receive feedback from the Company on request about whether the processing of their personal data is ongoing. If such processing is ongoing, they have the right to be given access to the personal data processed as well as to the following data.
- a) purposes of processing,
- b) categories of personal data concerned,
- c) recipients or categories of recipients to whom or which personal data has been or will be transferred, including in particular recipients in third countries and international organisations,
- d) where appropriate, planned term of storage of personal data, or if this is not possible, criteria for determining the term of storage,
- e) data subjects may request the controller to rectify, erase or restrict the processing of personal data relating to their persons, and may object to the processing of such personal data,
- f) data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority,
- g) if the data did not originate from the data subject, all available information relating to its source,
- h) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
Company’s practice for guaranteeing the right of access: At the data subject’s request, the Company will provide a copy of the personal data constituting the subject-matter of processing. If the data subject submitted his or her request by electronic means or the personal data is processed by electronic means, the information will be provided in a commonly used electronic form, unless otherwise requested by the data subject. At the data subject’s request, the Company will respond without undue delay, but within 30 days at the latest, and if it is unable to meet a request for any reason, it is required to state its reasons. In default, the Company provides a copy of personal data free of charge. For any further copies requested by the data subject, the Company may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs, while the Company may also charge a reasonable fee if there is a simpler, swifter and more cost-effective method of delivery than the method requested by the data subject.
17.6./ Right to rectification
The data subject has the right to obtain from the Company without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
17.7./ Right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’)
The data subject has the right to obtain from the Company the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay and the Company has the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
- a) the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;
- b) the data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing;
- c) the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to the relevant provision of the Regulation, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing;
- d) the personal data have been unlawfully processed;
- e) the personal data have to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the Company is subject.
The Company is not required to erase the data if data processing is necessary for any of the following reasons:
- a) for exercising fundamental rights (rights of freedom of expression and information);
- b) in the event of mandatory processing (compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the Company is subject);
- d) for reasons of public interest (e.g. for archiving purposes or statistical purposes in so far as the right to erasure is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing); or
- e) for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
The right to erasure cannot result in the erasure of personal data relating to the data subject which the data subject supplied for the purposes of the performance of a contract if and to the extent the personal data in question is necessary for the performance of the given contract. The right to erasure is further not applicable in cases where the term of processing is regulated by law, e.g. in the case of invoices as invoices are to be kept for a period of 8 years based on the relevant statutory rules.
If the Company has made any personal data public which it is then required to erase – taking account of available technology and cost of implementation – the Company will take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data. The rules of exception also apply to this case.
17.8./ Right to restriction of processing
The data subject has the right to obtain from the Company restriction of processing where one of the following applies:
a) the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject (in this case, restriction applies to a period which enables the Company to verify the accuracy of the personal data);
b) the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead;
c) the Company no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
d) the data subject has objected to processing; in this case, restriction is pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the Company override those of the data subject. |
Where processing has been restricted, such personal data will, with the exception of storage, only be processed with the data subject's consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
A data subject who has obtained restriction of processing will be informed by the Company before the restriction of processing is lifted.
17.9./ Right to data portability
The data subject has the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to the Company, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the Company to which the personal data have been provided, where:
|
a) the processing is based on consent or on a contract; and
b) the processing is carried out by automated means. |
In exercising his or her right to data portability, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible.
This is to inform data subjects that the right to data portability can only be exercised in the event of the combined existence of the above conditions (if the processing is based on consent or on a contract AND the processing is carried out by automated means). Therefore, the right to data portability does not apply to data processed on the basis of statutory rules. As pursuant to the guidance of the Article 29 Working Party (WP29) the right to data portability only applies to processing by automated means, it does not apply to paper-based processing.
17.10./ Right to object
The data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on the Company’s legitimate interest. In this case, the Company will no longer process the personal data unless the Company demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
18./ MODALITIES FOR THE EXERCISE OF RIGHTS
18.1./ The Company will provide information on action taken on a request to the data subject without undue delay and in any event within 25 days of receipt of the request. That period may be extended by two further months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of the requests. The Company will inform the data subject of any such extension within 25 days of receipt of the request, together with the reasons for the delay. Where the data subject makes the request by electronic form means, the information will be provided by electronic means where possible, unless otherwise requested by the data subject.
18.2./ If the Company does not take action on the request of the data subject, the Company will inform the data subject without delay and at the latest within 25 days of receipt of the request of the reasons for not taking action and of the possibility of lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority and seeking a judicial remedy.
18.3./ Information provided on the basis of the right to information and any communication and any actions taken in connection with the exercise of rights will be provided free of charge. Where requests from a data subject are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, the Company may either:
- a) charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or communication or taking the action requested; or
- b) refuse to act on the request.
The Company will bear the burden of demonstrating the manifestly unfounded or excessive character of the request.
19./ REMEDIES
19.1./ Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, every data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of his or her habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to him or her infringes the Regulation.

Proceedings against the Company as controller or a processor will be brought before the courts of the Member State where the Company as controller or the processor has an establishment. Alternatively, such proceedings may be brought before the courts of the Member State where the data subject has his or her habitual residence.
