1. The legislative situation as regards protection of personal data is governed by Act LXIII promulgated on 17 November 1992, which entered into force on 1 May 1993 and was subsequently amended 3 The scope of this law is broader than the protection of personal data, since the Act also lays down the procedure applicable to public access to administrative documents. The Ombudsman, whose powers are established by the Act and who was appointed by Parliament on 30 June 1995, is responsible for monitoring the application of these two regulations. As regards the protection of personal data, the following should also be noted: — Hungary’s international commitments resulting from the ratification, on 8 October 1997, of the Council of Europe Convention for the protection of individuals with regard to automatic processing of personal data (Convention N˚ 108), — the protection of privacy at constitutional level, in particular with regard to the processing of personal data 4, — the existence of sectoral laws containing provisions on the protection of personal data in fields as diverse as the secret services, statistics, commercial canvassing, scientific research and, more recently, the health sector.
