SECOND SECTION
Application no. 32290/23
Attila AJTAI
against Hungary
lodged on 14 August 2023
communicated on 24 September 2025
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The application concerns the publication of the applicant’s personal data on the Tax Authority’s website.
As of 2020, the applicant’s personal data, including his full name and home address, have figured on the Tax Authority’s website, on the list of major tax debtors. This measure has been provided for by sections 263-64 of the 2017 Tax Administration Act. Those data also became accessible through the search interface on the Tax Authority’s dedicated website, as per the update of 25 July 2023.
The applicant complains under Article 8 of the Convention that the exposure of his personal data on the website amounts to an unjustified invasion of privacy.
 
 
 
QUESTION TO THE PARTIES
Has there been a violation of the applicant’s right to respect for his private life, contrary to Article 8 of the Convention, by the publication of his personal data on the Tax Authority’s website (see L.B. v. Hungary [GC], no. 36345/16, §§ 77 et seq., 9 March 2023)?
