Example: crypto & Web3 software for a automotive business in Budapest

Payments would run through Cards, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on overall equipment effectiveness, scrap rate and order lead time.

EU GDPR: compliance checklist for crypto & Web3 software
Before launch in Hungary, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under EU GDPR.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Hungary customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Hungary.
- Confirm with counsel whether licensing or registration with Magyar Nemzeti Bank (MNB) applies to your model.
- Document AML, fraud and transaction-monitoring controls for auditors.
Hosting and data residency for crypto & Web3 software in Hungary
For clients in Hungary we usually host on Frankfurt, Ireland or another EU region to stay within GDPR transfer rules. The choice balances latency for local users, EU GDPR requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
