The legal basis for the processing is the fulfilment of a legal obligation pursuant to Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR Regulation in the case of mandatory transfers of data to the competent authority as provided for by the Eüak tv. and the Eü tv. In other cases, the performance of a contract concluded with the Data Controller as a healthcare service provider pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR Regulation. The processing of e-mail addresses processed for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter is based on the data subject’s consent, while the use of cameras installed in the premises of the Controller’s clinic as processing is based on the legitimate interest of the Controller in the security of property pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR Regulation. Cameras are installed in the treatment rooms (surgeries) and in the waiting room, the exact location of which and the angle of view of the recording are set out in the Camera Policy of the Data Controller, which is available for inspection at the reception.
Personal data may only be processed for clearly defined, legitimate purposes, for the exercise of rights and the performance of obligations. At all stages of processing, the purpose of the processing must be fulfilled and the collection and processing of data must be fair and lawful. Only personal data that is necessary for the purpose of the processing and is adequate for the purpose shall be processed. Personal data may only be processed to the extent and for the duration necessary to achieve the purpose. The personal data shall retain this quality during the processing for as long as its relationship with the data subject can be re-established. The link with the data subject can be re-established if the controller has the technical conditions necessary for the re-establishment of the link. The processing must ensure that the data are accurate, complete and, where necessary for the purposes for which they are processed, kept up to date, and that the data subject can be identified only for the time necessary for the purposes for which they are processed.
The adequate security of personal data must be ensured by the application of appropriate technical or organisational measures, in particular measures to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction or damage.
Personal data may be processed if it is ordered by law or, on the basis of a statutory authorisation, within the scope specified therein, by a decree of a local authority for a purpose in the public interest in the case of data not constituting special data or personal data for criminal matters, or, failing this, if it is absolutely necessary for the performance of the tasks of the controller as defined by law and the data subject has given his or her explicit consent to the processing of the personal data, or where it is necessary and proportionate for the protection of the vital interests of the data subject or of another person, or for the prevention or elimination of an imminent threat to life, limb or property of a person, or where the personal data have been explicitly disclosed by the data subject and where it is necessary and proportionate for the purpose of the processing.
If the duration of the mandatory processing or the periodic review of its necessity is not specified by law, local government regulation or a legally binding act of the European Union, the controller shall review, at least every three years from the start of the processing, whether the processing of personal data processed by the controller or by a processor acting on its behalf or under its instructions is necessary for the purposes of the processing. The data controller shall document the circumstances and the results of this review, keep this documentation for ten years after the review and make it available to the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (hereinafter referred to as “the Authority”) upon request.
In the case of processing of sensitive data, the controller or the processor acting on its behalf or under its instructions shall ensure by appropriate technical and organisational measures that, when carrying out the processing operations, only those persons who are strictly necessary for the performance of their tasks in relation to the processing operation have access to the sensitive data.

3.4 Processing for the purpose of dental care:
During dental treatment, the Data Controller records the personal data of the person (data subject) who receives the treatment and the health data necessary for the proper conduct of the treatment. The data subject or his or her legal representative provides the health and personal identification data to the Data Controller for the purposes of fulfilling a contract with the Data Controller as a healthcare provider.
The data subject (legal representative) is obliged to provide his/her health and personal identification data at the request of the healthcare provider,

- if the data must be provided for the purpose of an inspection under the Act on National Security Services.
Data in accordance with the professional rules must be recorded in the medical records during medical treatment. It is up to the dentist providing the treatment to decide which health data, in addition to the mandatory data to be recorded, should be recorded in accordance with the professional rules. The recording of data should avoid recording data that are not directly related to the treatment of the patient. The management of medical records during treatment should be organised in such a way that the records and the patient’s personal data can be accessed by the persons who are responsible for the treatment of the person receiving the treatment. A subcontractor of a dental technician under contract with the controller and his/her employees in such a capacity should be entitled to access patient data to the extent necessary for the dental work. The processing of data by dental technicians is otherwise governed by this Policy.
3.5 Protection of medical confidentiality:
The Data Controller, as well as other persons in a legal relationship with the Data Controller, is bound by an obligation of confidentiality without time limitation with regard to data relating to the health status of a patient and other data that has come to its knowledge in connection with the performance of its work. The obligation of confidentiality is independent of the manner in which the data has come to its knowledge. The duty of confidentiality shall also apply to a carer who has not cooperated in the treatment of the patient, unless the data are necessary for the further treatment of the person treated. The obligation of confidentiality may be waived in writing by the patient or by a statutory obligation to provide information. In order to protect medical confidentiality, it is necessary that all employees of the provider undertake to maintain medical confidentiality. The undertaking must be included in or attached to the employee’s job description. The data subject (patient) has the right to declare to whom information about his/her illness, its likely outcome, may be disclosed and to whom partial or total access to his/her medical data is excluded. The health data of the patient concerned shall be disclosed even in the absence of the patient’s consent, where this is
- is required by law,
- necessary to protect the life, limb or health of others.
3.6 Persons present during medical treatment:
The patient has the right to have present during his/her examination and treatment only those persons whose participation is necessary for the treatment or those to whose presence the patient has consented, unless otherwise provided by law.

- another person if the treatment regime requires the simultaneous care of several patients,
- a professional member of the police force, if the treatment is administered to a person in custody,
- a member of the prison service, if the treatment is administered to a person serving a custodial sentence in a prison and is necessary for the safety of the treating carer or to prevent escape,
- if law enforcement interests so require for the patient’s personal safety and the patient is incapable of making a statement.
In addition to the above, the following may be present,
- anyone who has already treated the patient for the disease in question,
- who has been authorised by the head of the healthcare provider for a professional reason. In this case, the express objection of the person receiving the treatment must be upheld.

The consent may also be given orally to the dentist providing the treatment.
3.7 Right and obligation to information, patient’s right to information:
The patient must be informed of the provider’s privacy policy before the start of patient care. It is the duty of the dentist providing the treatment to inform the patient about the data protection. The patient confirms the provision of this information by signing the service contract. The patient’s documentation must be accompanied by any restrictive declaration by the patient. Information on the treatment of the patient shall be provided by the dentist treating the patient. Information on the nursing aspects of the patient’s treatment may also be provided by the health care professional attending to the patient. Information on the patient’s treatment shall not be given by a dental nurse or other staff member unless authorised by the dentist treating the patient. The information shall be provided in person.
The treating dentist shall inform the data subject directly of the medical data concerning the data subject which he/she has established. In the case of a psychiatric patient, the patient’s right of access to the medical records may exceptionally be restricted if there are reasonable grounds to believe that the patient’s recovery would be seriously compromised or the privacy of another person would be violated if the medical records were disclosed. Only the dentist is entitled to order the restriction. The patient’s legal representative and the patient’s legal or authorised representative must be informed of the restriction without delay.
3.8 Information to relatives and other persons:
The patient may, at the time of registration with the provider or at a later date, decide to whom partial or full information about his/her illness, its expected outcome, changes in his/her state of health may be disclosed and who may be excluded. The patient must be informed of this possibility.
3.9 Right of access to medical records:

6. Implant register
6.1 Information on the legal obligations relating to the implant register
.
If an implant is inserted, removed or replaced in connection with the treatment of the patient concerned, the Data Controller shall be obliged to comply with the provisions of Article 101/C. § (1) of the Act of CLIVIA of the Federal Law on Health Care (CLIVIA), the Data Controller is obliged to transfer the data of the register containing the data to the central implant register for the purpose of further treatment of the person undergoing the implantation, removal or replacement of an implant, monitoring of his/her health, rapid response to an unexpected event and checking the conformity of implantable medical devices. The health insurance body operating the central register of implants shall establish a contact code for the personal identification data. The health insurance body shall generate the link code for all personal data on the basis of the same coding method, in such a way that it does not allow any reverse engineering of personal data and that all transmissions of data for the same patient, irrespective of the healthcare provider performing the intervention, are linked to the same link code. The contact code as referred to above shall be sent by the health insurance authority to the healthcare provider keeping the register via the IT application it operates. The contact code shall be indicated in the medical documentation, including in the final report given to the patient. The body designated to carry out official tasks in relation to medical devices may, for the purpose of carrying out official tasks in relation to medical devices, obtain access to non-personally identifiable data in the central implant register with a contact code.

7. Electronic health services space (EESZT)
The aim of the Hungarian e-health renewal system is to provide the population with faster, more efficient and more service-oriented care. The key to this lies in the continuous connection between care providers, treating physicians and pharmacies, so that information is consistent and accessible. At the same time, the system’s services will simplify the administrative and reporting processes in the healthcare sector, speeding up patient care. EESZT is essentially an information flow facilitation system that makes it easier and faster for data sent to the Space to reach the right person. This data includes personal data and health data, as it is healthcare data. The data is fully secured by a system with the highest level of protection, level 5. The data is handled by the State Health Care Supply Centre (SHSC), which operates EESZT. Since the introduction of EESZT, the way you receive care has not changed fundamentally; you have nothing to do other than go to your doctor if you are ill or need a routine check-up, just as you have always done. The purpose of this information note is to familiarise you with the scope of your data that will be entered into the EESZT system by the healthcare institution during the course of your care . If you wish to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the digital world, this leaflet will also give you the opportunity to find out how to use the latest e-health services. If you would like more information on the operation of the ESSF and the processing of your data than this notice, please visit the https://e-egeszsegugy.gov.hu information portal, where you can read the ESSF Privacy Notice by clicking on the Privacy Policy link and browse the site for more useful information on the operation of the ESSF.
7.1.
The uploading of data to EESZT starts from the patient’s admission. Data generated in the course of healthcare are recorded in EESZT in the following cases and in the following ways:
Catalogue of events
The central event catalogue contains up-to-date information about your healthcare. For the central event catalogue, the following event details, the date of the event, the date of recording in the health facility’s system and the ID of the person responsible for recording the event are required. Data retention period: 5 years after your death. The data can be accessed:
- Court, Authorities (acting in their capacity)
- You
- a general practitioner, family doctor in connection with your healthcare, in accordance with your digital self-care settings
Recording of health documents
The purpose of the register is to allow treating physicians to access their patients’ health documents, the register contains these documents (e.g. outpatient chart, findings, final report, etc.). The documents contained here are kept according to the rules and for the time period applicable to health records. Retention period: 5 years after your death. You can access the data:
- the healthcare institution
- You
eProfile
The health profile record contains information describing your general health status (current illnesses, general health information). The purpose of the record is to provide the treating physician with up-to-date and comprehensive health information for your care. Retention period: 5 years after your death. You can access the data:
- your treating doctor or general practitioner
7.2 Where can you access the data on your healthcare that has been entered into EESZT?
The EESZT Resident Portal can be found on the https://www.eeszt.gov.hu website. You can access your own personalised EESZT user account by clicking on the Login button and entering your client identification and social security number. This will allow you to easily access and retrieve all the health documents and data related to you that will be included in the EESZT at any time.
If you do not have an account, you can create one in the following ways:
1. In personat any document office, government office, tax authority customer service or diplomatic mission
2. Electronically if you have a valid identity card issued after 1 January 2016.
You can also use several EESZT services offered by the digital facilities on the Citizen Portal. Some of these are:
Under the CONVENTIONS tab, you can track your care events in the Event Catalogue and find your patient documents generated during your care and uploaded to EESZT in your e-History.
Under the REFERRALS tab, you can retrieve your own electronic referrals filtered by a specific period, view their data content and print them.
Under the RECIPTS heading, you can retrieve your electronic prescriptions, including a list of prescriptions you have already filled, going back to a specific period. All prescription information is also available to you, but this is not a substitute for a prescription certificate, which can be used by others to fill your prescription, so you cannot fill a prescription printed from here. Your traditional paper prescriptions will only appear in your dispensed prescriptions because they are entered into the system by the pharmacy when the prescription is dispensed.
Under the Notify box, you can request to be notified when data or documents related to you are added to the system. You can track who has requested to view what data or document in the system, and when. You will also be able to control the availability of your data and documents that will be included in EESZT.
