We are pleased to inform our Clients that CLVPartners© has expanded its service portfolio: with the involvement of our trusted partner, we now also undertake the provision of Data Protection Officer (DPO) services in accordance with the GDPR requirements for organisations for which this is a legal obligation or a business necessity.
What does the DPO service mean?
The appointment of a DPO is not merely a formal requirement – CLVPartners© ensures real, substantive, and active involvement in data protection compliance. The appointed DPO:
carries out the registration required for the commencement of its activities and establishes appropriate communication channels for data subjects
monitors the compliance of personal data processing with GDPR requirements,
participates in, provides information and professional advice on the development and review of data protection documentation, as well as on new processes to be introduced or any other data processing issues, in order to ensure compliance with the GDPR and other EU or Hungarian data protection provisions,
maintains contact with the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (NAIH) and with data subjects,
supervises the enforcement of data subject rights,
supports the organisation in data protection incidents and data protection impact assessments.
What is the difference between the DPO and our Law Firm’s advisory role?
The DPO performs an independent supervisory function and carries out only the tasks defined in the GDPR. The DPO provides information and advice to ensure compliance and maintains contact with the supervisory authority on behalf of the organisation; however, it may not act as legal representative before the authority.
In contrast, our Law Firm continues to provide support to Clients in the field of data protection law in reviewing their data protection practices, preparing implementation plans, and, where necessary, adjusting practices to ensure compliance with the GDPR. Our data protection services cover the following areas:
Supporting GDPR implementation in line with Hungarian legislation and the guidance of the data protection authority
Periodic mandatory review of existing policies and privacy notices, including client support in their practical application
Training for employees involved in the processing of personal data (e.g. HR, IT, controlling, payroll)
Addressing data protection issues arising in connection with employment, including the preparation of information materials, policies and employment contract clauses, drafting whistleblowing regulations, and examining “bring-your-own-device” data protection aspects
Advising on technological solutions based on the use of personal data (AI applications, user profiling, targeted marketing activities, social media solutions, database monitoring, maintenance of internal communication systems)
Professional cooperation – real added value
The DPO and our Law Firm work closely together in the development and documentation of data processing practices. The review and preparation of documentation is always carried out with the professional support of our Law Firm.
Ez a modell lehetővé teszi, hogy szervezete:
megfeleljen a törvényi előírásoknak,
biztosítsa a függetlenséget és szakértelmet a DPO szerepkörben,
továbbra is számíthasson Irodánkra mint adatvédelmi jogi tanácsadóra.
Vegye fel velünk a kapcsolatot, ha szeretné felmérni, szükséges-e DPO-t kijelölni a szervezeténél – és ha fontos Önnek, hogy ez a feladat valóban hozzáadott értéket is jelentsen.
