Data Protection

VJT & Partners' Information, Communications & Technology (ICT) practice group advises clients in relation to data protection compliance matters, which are increasingly attracting the attention of businesses from numerous commercial sectors.

Due to the unique and rigorous requirements of the Hungarian Data Protection Act, global companies regularly face unexpected challenges in cases where technical data processors are involved, personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or employees are monitored by employers. The pressure on businesses to boost their client base often necessitates the use of advanced sales and direct marketing methods which can only be executed in compliance with complex advertising and data protection rules.

Our highly-qualified team regularly assists clients in meeting such challenges and provides practical solutions to support our clients’ in achieving their commercial objectives.

Our practice covers a wide range of data protection, advertising and marketing matters ranging from advising a major IT company on the launch of a computerised employee monitoring system, a global financial services provider on the launch of an advanced direct marketing tool, to advising a global media and entertainment company in relation to local Hungarian data protection policy.
