The KELER Group acts with due regard to the principles of necessity and proportionality when the system elements are installed and operated. KELER operates the electronic surveillance system within the KELER Group. Based on Section 31 (3) of the Szvtv., KELER retains video recordings on the system servers for no more than 30 days if the recordings are not used. KELER stores recordings in a closed IT system located in a locked area subject to separate penetration control and access control. The video recordings made by the system can be viewed by the KELER Security Management colleagues, the Data Protection Officer of the KELER Group (hereinafter: Data Protection Officer), and the colleagues of the competent authority in the case of proceedings by the authority. In the case of proceedings, request by authorities, the recordings can be forwarded subject to consent by the Data Protection Officer and only if any security incident is suspected.

If you wish to apply for a job posted by the KELER Group, please provide only the personal data relevant to the position (e.g. education, experience) and avoid providing information that are not necessarily required to assess whether you are fit for the position (e.g. age, address, religion).

The purpose of data processing is to perform the selection process and to inform applicants on the result of the selection processes.

If the KELER Group involves third parties in any phase of the selection process, the applicant is informed accordingly in advance and related consent is requested.

The KELER Group processes the above personal data until the posted position is filled, and the data will be deleted immediately when decision is made on filling the position. Should any reason justifying further data processing arise during the selection process (e.g. possibility of later cooperation), the KELER Group informs the applicant and requests consent by the applicant for further data processing for a fixed period.

7. Data processing for business development

The KELER Group processes the data of potential business partners related to business development, for the purpose of making contact later, based on consent expressed by handing over business cards or in similar manners.

If no business cooperation is entered into, the KELER Group deletes data after eight years, but the party concerned can request immediate cancellation of its data at any time at: and . 

8. Voice recording

In line with the provisions of the Hpt. and the Bszt., the KELER Group records communication on the phone related to complaint management via phone, and retains the voice recording for 5 years. The party making the complaint is informed accordingly at the beginning of the phone conversation.

9. Data processing by the KELER Group as employer

As employers, KELER and KELER CCP process the personal data of employees (and third parties working based on other legal relationships), and, as appropriate, the personal data of the relatives of employees. The persons involved are informed separately on data processing by the employer.
Who can know the personal data processed by the KELER Group?

All KELER Group employees are bound by secrecy. The KELER Group places strong emphasis on ensuring with internal regulation and strict IT rights management that the data it controls and processes are known only to the employees to the job of whom the data concerned is related to, in the case of personal data, for example:
- personal data of job applicants can be known to the HR Department and the colleagues and heads of the units posting the position,
- data related to security purposes can be known to the colleagues of KELER Security Management and the Chief Security Officer,
- data related to business development can be known to the colleagues and managers responsible for business development.

There are jobs at the KELER Group that promote compliance with regulations (Legal and Compliance, Internal Audit, Data Protection Officer). In order to perform work, the colleagues and managers of these units need to know the data processed or controlled by the KELER Group related to certain tasks.
To whom can the KELER Group forward personal data?

Data can be forwarded to meet the requirements of regulations, for example, in the following typical cases:
- responding to requests by authorities or reporting to administrative or investigating authorities,
- reporting suspected money laundering to the Finance Intelligence Unit of the National Tax and Customs Office (NAV),
- in order to fulfil a contract, to the party involved (e.g. in the case of cross-border transactions or nominated ordering clients).

The KELER Group can forward to its partners performing outsourced activities the personal data related to the subject of the outsourcing. In certain cases, KELER and KELER CCP can forward personal data to the cooperating law firms*, for example in order to finalize a contract or related to a legal dispute. In this case, the law firm is required to manage the transferred data in line with the contract for legal services and the applicable regulations (in particular the secrecy stated in Act LXXVIII of 2017 on the Profession of Lawyer).

In other cases not regulated by law, when the need to transfer data to third parties arises, data is transferred subject to the written consent of the parties concerned, after prior information is given on the legal basis of data forwarding and the transferee. For example: filling a position at the KELER Group requires a test related to which KELER or KELER CCP wish to involve a third party service provider. 

(*Kapolyi Law Firm is the legal representative of KELER and KELER CCP, based on the contract for legal services executed with the companies.) 
Security of data at the KELER Group

By law the systems of the KELER Group are considered system elements of vital national interest in the financial sector. Accordingly, the security environment is standard and operates in line with strict legal and regulatory requirements*, and is subject to ongoing and regular external and internal control and supervision.

(*E.g. Act L of 2013 on the Information Security of State and Local Municipality Organizations, Act CLXVI of 2012 on the Identification, Designation and Protection of Systems and Facilities of Vital Importance and related regulations, regulations of the financial sector and documents of the supervisors.)

Consequently, the KELER Group places great emphasis on the security of personal data it processes or controls, that is to say, to avoid violation of data security resulting in adventitious or unlawful destruction, loss, change, unauthorized communication of data or unauthorized access to data (data protection incident).

However, should a data protection incident nevertheless occur, the KELER Group has internal regulation that determines the method of incident investigation, involvement of the Data Protection Officer, informing the parties concerned and the National Data Protection and Information Security Authority (Authority), and the method of documenting and managing incidents without any delay.

Related to outsourced activities, the KELER Group cooperates with partners that guarantee the security of the personal data they come to possess. The provision of appropriate guarantees related to the security of data is a priority aspect when partners performing outsourced activities are selected.

The KELER Group manages physical documents containing personal data subject to strict security requirements. It is not possible to recover the destructed physical documents.

The KELER Group provides data protection training to employees to ensure data protection awareness, to facilitate the prevention and proper management of data protection incidents of IT or non-IT nature.
