(Status 01.03.2024, subject to change due to pending implementing regulations, in which case the information below will be amended)

The Authority shall, upon request, register an organisation that meets the requirements under Article 18 of the Data Governance Act if it complies with the conditions set out in Section 64/G of Act CXII of 2011 and Chapter IV of the Data Governance Act. Pursuant to Article 18(b) of the Data Governance Act, the recognised data altruist activity may only be carried out through a legal person established for public interest purposes, subject to the conflict of interest rules set out in Chapter IV of the Data Governance Act. Registered data altruism organisations may use the title "data altruism organisation recognised in the Union" in their written and oral communications and the common logo as defined in the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1622 (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=1706706656294&uri=CELEX%3A32023R1622).

As long as no dedicated online interface is provided on the website of the Authority, the registration application shall be in the form and content required for legal persons subject to electronic administration under the Hungarian Code of General Administrative Procedure (https://njt.hu/jogszabaly/en/2016-150-00-00) and shall be submitted through ePapír service (template "Egyéb (NAIH)" under the menu item "Nemzeti Adatvédelmi és Információszabadság Hatóság eljárásai" on https://epapir.gov.hu/).

In addition to the information specified in the Hungarian Code of General Administrative Procedure (data and contact details necessary to identify the client and its representative), the registration application submitted by data altruism organisations must contain at least the following information pursuant to Article 19(4) of the Data Governance Act:

(a) the name of the entity;

(b) the entity’s legal status, form and, where the entity is registered in a public national register, registration number;

(c) where applicable, the articles of association of the organisation;

(d) the entity’s sources of income;

(e) the address of the entity’s main establishment in the Union, if any, and, where applicable, any secondary branch in another Member State or that of the legal representative;

(f) a public website where complete and up-to-date information on the entity and the activities can be found, including as a minimum the information referred to in points (a), (b), (d), (e) and (h);

(g) the entity’s contact persons and contact details;

(h) the objectives of general interest it intends to promote when collecting data;

(i) the nature of the data that the entity intends to control or process, and, in the case of personal data, an indication of the categories of personal data;

(j) any other documents which demonstrate that the requirements of Article 18 of the Data Governance Act are met.

In the procedure for the registration of a data altruism organisation, the Authority will verify compliance with the conditions set out in Article 18 of the Data Governance Act in the framework of the application procedure under the Hungarian Code of General Administrative Procedure, and may request additional declarations and evidence from the applicant, if necessary. The deadline of the procedure is 84 days.

(The procedure is subject to the payment of a procedural fee at the rate specified in a ministerial decree. This ministerial decree has not yet been issued, so the procedure is currently free of charge.)

A data altruism organisation registered with the Authority shall notify the Authority of any changes to the information provided within 14 days of the change occurring. The procedure for notification of changes is governed by the provisions of the registration procedure.

The Authority shall notify the European Commission without delay of the above registrations, change notifications and deletions as specified in the Data Governance Act (the details of which are to be specified by a Government Regulation still to be issued).
