Hungarian data protection law generally forbids sub-processing of processing operations by data processors since 1999. This means in practice that a processor of processing services could not sub-contract data processing to other processors – even if the data subject and the controller consented hereto – which was an over-rigid provision that did not meet practical realities and therefore caused several problems in practice. The prohibition of sub-processing under Hungarian law did not take into account business trends and practices for multi-level processing, moreover, it also contradicted the processor-to-processor Model Clauses (2010\/87\/EU) which expressly authorizes sub-processing in the context of international data transfers.<\/p>\n
Apparently, the above problem has very recently also caught the attention of the Hungarian legislator: the Information Act of 2011<\/a>, the Hungarian implementation of the EU Data Protection Directive (95\/46\/EC), has been very recently amended by the Act L of 2013<\/a> and the legislator has now introduced a new Section 10 (2) into the Information Act which reads as follows:<\/p>\n \u201cThe data processor may sub-contract processing operations to another processor in line with the instructions of the data controller.<\/em>\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n After almost one and a half decades, the new Section 10 (2) of the Information Act now authorizes sub-processing of processing operations to other processors. Thus, provided that the processing agreement permits same, the processor will be able to delegate its processing services to another processor.<\/p>\n The above amendment of the Information Act will enter into force by 1 July 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hungarian data protection law generally forbids sub-processing of processing operations by data processors since 1999.
