Legal basis for processing personal data


MagiCom processes your personal data to provide our products and services to you, to comply with legal obligations we are subject to, if it is necessary for our legitimate interests or the interests of a third party, or on the basis of consent.


When we process your personal data for our legitimate interests or the interests of a third party, we will take reasonable measures to prevent unwarranted harm to you. Our legitimate interests may, for example, include our interest of improving our product and services. More information on the balancing tests we perform is available upon request. Where we process your personal data for our legitimate interests or the interests of a third party, you have the right to object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation (please see Section 11 "Your rights" below).


Where we process your personal data on the basis of your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time by following the specific instructions in relation to the processing for which you provided your consent, by adjusting your setting (if available) or by reaching out to us.


Where we process your personal data for a purpose other than that for which we collected it initially (and we rely on a legal basis other than consent or complying with legal obligations for this new purpose), we will ascertain whether processing for this new purpose is compatible with the purpose for which the personal data were initially collected.


In which way does MagiCom obtain data?


MagiCom obtains your personal data in several ways.


We obtain personal information about you when you send us your CV, or you send a registration to our partnering events (i.e. Family Day etc.)

Who has access to your data?


In view of the purposes mentioned above, or in the context of its service provision MagiCom may share, pass on or in any other way make accessible your personal data to MagiCom group companies, other service providers and third parties who may offer job for you.


We have an authorization policy for our systems, so persons and organizations only have access to your data in so far as this is necessary for the performance of their tasks and within the framework of the purposes mentioned. All these individuals and organizations have agreed to treat your data confidentially and with the greatest care.


Next to that, the extent to which we share your data and with whom, depends on the service required.


Parties that have access to your data may be established in countries that have a milder privacy regime than the European Union and Hungary. If such is the case, MagiCom will ensure that appropriate measures are taken and that all statutory rules and regulations are observed. For transfers of personal data outside the European Economic Area, MagiCom will use European Commission approved mechanisms, such as the Privacy Shield certification, and Standard Contractual Clauses as safeguards, such as the "(EU-)controller to (Non-EU/EEA-) controller" Decision 2004/915//EC (see Article 46 GDPR). If you wish to receive a copy of these procedures, regulations, and safeguards, please contact us.


Security


MagiCom implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure an appropriate level of security against unlawful use, unauthorized access, alteration, or unlawful destruction of your personal data. MagiCom has an Information Security Management System based on ISO / IEC 27001:2013 and the system is regularly audited and certified by SGS. If you are interested in detail you can have access to our certificates.

MagiCom retains your personal data if necessary, in view of the purposes set above, or as long as prescribed by law. Based on these purposes, MagiCom has determined four separate retention periods for different sorts of personal data consisting of 3 months, 3 years, 5 years and over 30 years.


Personal data that has no purpose to be archived will be deleted or anonymized within 3 months. For example, if you provided criminal records at the begin of employment, MagiCom will delete your data once the criminal record will be more than 3 months old and its validity period is over.


Personal data that is required for MagiCom to comply with MagiCom's legal and fiscal obligations will be kept for 3 or 5 years, after which they will be deleted or anonymized.


After such 5 years, MagiCom will only keep records of personal data that are needed to provide you with evidence of the employment. These evidences are needed for i.e. your finding your retirement pension.

Your rights


You may contact our Data Privacy Officer (please see below in contact details) to exercise any of the rights you are granted under applicable data protection laws, which includes (1) the right to access your data, (2) to rectify them, (3) to erase them, (4) to restrict the processing of your data, (5) the right to data portability and (6) the right to object to processing.


1. Right to access


You may ask us whether or not we process any of your personal data and, if so, receive access to that data in the form of a copy. When complying with an access request, we will also provide you with additional information, such as the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned as well as any other information necessary for you to exercise the essence of this right.


2. Right to rectification


You have the right to have your data rectified in case of inaccuracy or incompleteness. Upon request, we will correct inaccurate personal data about you and taking into account the purposes of the processing, complete incomplete personal data, which may include the provision of a supplementary statement.


3. Right to erasure


You also have the right to have your personal data erased, which means the deletion of your data by us and, where possible, any other controller to whom your data has previously been made public by us. Erasure of your personal data only finds place in certain cases, prescribed by law and listed under article 17 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This includes situations where your personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the initial purposes for which they were processed as well as situations where they were processed unlawfully. Due to the way we maintain certain services, it may take some time before backup copies are erased.


4. Right to restriction of processing


You have the right to obtain the restriction of the processing of your personal data, which means that we suspend the processing of your data for a certain period of time. Circumstances which may give rise to this right include situations where the accuracy of your personal data was contested but some time is needed for us to verify their (in)accuracy. This right does not prevent us from continue storing your personal data. We will inform you before the restriction is lifted.


5. Right to data portability


Your right to data portability entails that you may request us to provide you with your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to have such data transmitted directly to another controller, where technically feasible. Upon request and where this is technically feasible we will transmit your personal data directly to the other controller.


6. Right to object


You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data, which means you may request us to no longer process your personal data. This only applies in case the 'legitimate interests' ground (including profiling) constitutes the legal basis for processing (see Section 4 "Legal basis for processing personal data" above).


At any time and free of charge you can object to direct marketing purposes in case your personal data are processed for such purposes, which includes profiling purposes to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. In case you exercise this right, we will no longer process your personal data for such purposes.


You may withdraw your consent at any time by following the specific instructions in relation to the processing for which you provided your consent.


For example, you may withdraw consent, by clicking the unsubscribe link in the email, adjusting your communication preferences in your account (if available) or by changing your smart phone settings (for mobile push notifications and location data).
