According to kancellar.hu the security and legal compliancy of Hungarian webshops are quite variable.

·          More than 90 % of the monitored webshops recieve the sensitive personal data without any encrypting. The exceptions are only the data of credit card transactions which are forwarded directly to the server of the bank. The routines of the customers could be stolen whic could cause personal data weeping and the theft of the identity of the user.

·          In most cases the appropriate coverage for the customers is missing or is partial. The data protection regulations are incomplete, most of the companies handling data lost reporting its activity to the data protection ombudsman.

·          Kancellár.hu was led to the conclusion that the consumers have to refresh and handle safely their own computers (firewalls, virus busters, etc) and be very careful during the selection of a webshop. Due to a non-appropriate selection it could happened that our personal data, password could fall into incompetent hands.
