Introduction

The Business Council for Sustainable Development in Hungary (BCSDH) is committed to protecting personal data, with particular regard to the personal data of visitors to its website. This Privacy Policy provides information on BCSDH’s data protection and data processing practices.

By using this website and providing your personal data, you consent to BCSDH processing and using such data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

If you have any questions regarding data protection, please contact us at ivett.takacs@bcsdh.hu.

Data Collection

We only collect personal data that visitors to our website explicitly and voluntarily provide. We collect a limited range of personal information from website visitors, such as name, job title, business address, email address, fax number and telephone number.

Visitors are not required to provide any personal data in order to access the publicly available sections of the website. However, visitors may choose to provide certain information, such as their name, job title, business address, business email address, fax number and telephone number, for purposes including:

• registering for certain sections of the website;
• requesting further information;
• submitting a CV;
• registering for events and conferences;
• applying for the Sustainable Future Award.

In accordance with BCSDH’s data protection principles, we only collect the minimum amount of information necessary to fulfil the visitor’s request. Whenever we request information that is not mandatory, this will be clearly indicated to the visitor.

We do not collect special categories of personal data through our website.

Use of Personal Data

Personal data provided by visitors is used solely for the purpose for which it was provided at the time of collection, or for a purpose that was evident from the circumstances in which the data was collected. Possible purposes are listed above under “Data Collection”.

We may also use your personal data to provide you with information about BCSDH’s activities, services, events and other matters that may be of interest to you in the form of newsletters. You may unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time; further information is provided under “Unsubscribing” below.

We do not collect personally identifiable information through our website for the purpose of transferring or selling such information to third parties for consumer marketing purposes, nor do we send communications on behalf of third parties.

Data Controller

The operator of this website is the Business Council for Sustainable Development in Hungary (BCSDH), a public benefit association, with its registered office at 1118 Budapest, Ménesi út 9/A, Hungary.

BCSDH acts as the data controller in respect of personal data collected through this website and processes such data in accordance with Act CXII of 2011 on Informational Self-Determination and Freedom of Information.

Sharing Personal Data with Third Parties

We recognise the value and importance of your personal data and take all reasonable measures to protect it in the course of our data processing activities.

In accordance with applicable laws, BCSDH may disclose your personal data to law enforcement authorities, regulatory or other governmental bodies, or other third parties where such disclosure is required by law.

We do not share personal data provided to us with other companies or organisations. In the case of jointly organised events, where such data sharing may be necessary, we will only do so with your specific consent.

We do not share information with other third parties or BCSDH member companies for secondary or unrelated purposes unless this possibility was clearly communicated at the time the data was collected. Even in such cases, information will only be shared if you have given your consent.

Some links on our website may lead to websites that are not operated by BCSDH and are therefore not subject to the privacy practices of bcsdh.hu. BCSDH’s Privacy Policy does not apply to external websites accessed through links provided on our website. We recommend that visitors review the privacy policies of external websites before providing any personally identifiable information on those websites.

Security

We take all reasonable measures to prevent the loss, alteration, destruction or misuse of personally identifiable information. However, despite our efforts, we cannot guarantee protection against every possible risk.

To the fullest extent reasonably possible, we use appropriate confidentiality arrangements and technical and organisational security measures to prevent the unauthorised or unlawful disclosure or processing of information and data, as well as their accidental loss, destruction or damage.

Access to such information is restricted to appropriately authorised members of staff who are subject to confidentiality obligations.

Access to Information

If you wish to update personal data that you have provided through our website, you may do so on the page where you originally registered or by contacting us at ivett.takacs@bcsdh.hu.

Where personal data is retained, we do not accept responsibility for continuously verifying its accuracy. If we are informed that personal data provided through our website has changed, we will, where reasonably possible, update the relevant information on the basis of the new information provided by the identified visitor.

As a general rule, visitors are not required to register in order to access publicly available sections of the website. In certain cases, however, visitors may be asked to register in order to obtain a user ID and password necessary for identification and access to certain functions or services.

If you wish to review the information you have provided through the website, please contact us at ivett.takacs@bcsdh.hu, and we will provide access to such information. In accordance with applicable legislation, a fee may be charged for providing access where permitted by law.

Unsubscribing

If you wish to unsubscribe from our mailing list or cancel your registration, the relevant steps will be indicated on the appropriate webpage or in communications sent to you.

Alternatively, you may submit your request by contacting us at ivett.takacs@bcsdh.hu.

Data Retention

We retain personal data provided to us only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was provided, or for as long as we are required to retain it by law.

For example, visitors’ contact details, including information collected during registration for access to certain sections of the website, are retained for as long as necessary to fulfil the visitor’s request or until the user asks us to delete the data.

Information contained in our mailing lists, records of communications and emails sent to us are retained for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the visitor’s request. CVs are deleted when they are no longer required.
