Data controller

The data controller of the electronic data related to the Safe Internet Hotline (https://biztonsagosinternet.hu) is the Hungarian registered non-profit association International Children’s Safety Service (1066 Budapest, Teréz krt. 24 I/1, hereinafter referred to as the “ICSS”).

Purpose of data processing

The purpose of the data processing is to operate the Safe Internet Hotline, to protect minors, to raise awareness, and to combat violent, inflammatory or otherwise abusive internet content in the context of activities not performed by public authorities which are regulated by the Act on electronic communications and in order to implement the European strategy for a better internet for kids (BIK+) in Hungary. The Safe Internet Hotline is an online reporting platform where internet users can report any offensive, harmful, illegal content (including child sexual abuse material, online harassment, phishing content, content posted without consent, and other content harmful to minors) found on the internet. Reports can be submitted anonymously, or the person making the report can choose to voluntarily provide an e-mail address to receive feedback on the status of the report.

Legal basis of data processing

Your consent given in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (hereinafter referred to as the “GDPR”).

Consent may be withdrawn at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent given before it is withdrawn. If you do not consent to the processing of your data, we will not be able to send you feedback on the status of the case you have reported.

Scope of personal data processed

The e-mail address of the reporting person. The ICSS points out that it is not necessary for the e-mail address to contain personal data. For example, the e-mail address need not contain the name of the reporting person. The reporting person is free to choose whether to provide an existing e-mail address that contains information indicating their identity.

The ICSS also processes identification data, images and screenshots relating to the reporting person that the reporting person has provided to the data controller in connection with the report.
