The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) this week held a plenary session to discuss the Hungarian government’s suspension of data subject rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and how restrictions of the privacy law should be applied.
On May 4, the Hungarian government issued a decree suspending Articles 15 to 22 of the GDPR until the end of the country’s coronavirus pandemic state of emergency. Those articles cover right of access by the data subject, right to be forgotten, and right to restriction of processing among several other key pillars of the legislation.
