Data Protection

Data protection is a growing challenge for our clients, especially due to the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) and the growing scope of data usage. Compliance and the ability to harness economic benefits are further hindered by the European data protection regulation, related Hungarian legislation, and the fragmentation of decisions and guidelines issued by national authorities.
