MADAT Magyar Adatvédelmi Tudatosságért Egyesület

The protection of personal data is a legal obligation and, at the same time, a fundamental business interest. To establish a properly functioning data protection system, legal, IT and process management measures must be expertly developed and harmonized.

Consequently, in practice, there are no two identical personal data processing operations. Solving a data protection problem requires the conscious application of factual knowledge, practical experience, and professional awareness.

The Hungarian Association for Data Protection Awareness, MADAT (Magyar Adatvédelmi Tudatosságért Társaság Egyesülete), was founded to establish and develop the professional awareness of data protection experts.

Topics

We profess our mission to be:

  • Assisting the work and academic activities of data protection professionals;
  • Developing standards, recommendations, professional minimum requirements, and conformity assessment procedures;
  • Initiating and supporting professional dialogue;
  • Organizing professional consultations related to the fields of data protection, data security, and freedom of information;
  • Providing public education and consultation to foster and raise the level of conscious conduct in general data protection situations among data controllers, data processors, and data subjects;
  • Bringing together professional enterprises.

To achieve all of the above, we organize our activities, shape our external and internal relations, and enhance our knowledge.
