Safety of data processing

The IT systems and other data storage locations of Akadémiai Kiadó Zrt. can be found at its headquarters and at its data processors.

Akadémiai Kiadó Zrt. selects and operates IT tools used for processing personal data during the provision of the service in such a way that the controlled data:
a) is accessible to those entitled (availability);
b) the authenticity and the authentication of the controlled data is ensured (authenticity of data processing);
c) its uniformity is verifiable (data integrity);
d) it is protected against unauthorized access (data confidentiality).

Akadémiai Kiadó Zrt. protects the data with appropriate measures, especially against unauthorized access, alteration, transferring, disclosure, deletion or destruction, as well as accidental destruction, damage and inaccessibility due to a change in the used technology.

In order to protect the electronically processed data files in its different registries, Akadémiai Kiadó Zrt. ensures with a proper technical solution that the stored data cannot be directly linked and assigned to the data subject unless it is permitted by law. Akadémiai Kiadó Zrt., according to the current state of technology, ensures the protection of the security of data processing with technical, organizational measures that provide a level of protection corresponding to the risks arising in connection with data processing.

While processing data, Akadémiai Kiadó Zrt. maintains
a) confidentiality: it protects information so only those that are authorized can access it;
b) integrity: it protects the accuracy and completeness of the information and its processing method;
c) availability: it ensures that when an authorized user needs it, they can actually access the information they need and have the tools to do so.

The IT system and network of Akadémiai Kiadó Zrt. and its partners are protected against computer-assisted fraud, espionage, sabotage, vandalism, fire and flood, as well as computer viruses and computer intrusions and attacks leading to service denial. The operator ensures security through server-level and application-level protection procedures.

We inform users that electronic messages transmitted over the internet, regardless of the protocol (email, web, ftp, etc.), are vulnerable to network threats that lead to unfair activities, contract disputes or the disclosure or modification of information. The data controller shall take all precautionary measures expectable from them for the protection against such threats. It monitors the systems to record any security incidents and provide evidence for each security incident. Monitoring the system also makes it possible to check the effectiveness of the precautionary measures taken.
