FINALDescription
The Hungarian DPA (NAIH) imposed a fine of EUR 22,200 against the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. NAIH finds that the controller unlawfully processed personal data in the course of audits of applications for social scholarships. Among other things, data was processed without a legal basis and in some cases particularly sensitive data was processed, although this was not necessary for the evaluation of the scholarship applications.
