Mandatory user accounts in webshops: compliance risk and potential fines under the GDPR
When more than three quarters of a country's adult population shop online, e-commerce is no longer merely a business trend but a regulatory challenge. According to the latest data published by the Hungarian Central Statistical Office, in 2025 77.2 % of the Hungarian population aged 16-74 had made an online purchase, with more than half of consumers (54.8 %) shopping online within the previous three months. This level of market penetration has inevitably attracted increased regulatory attention, with competent authorities becoming ever more active in scrutinising the lawful operation of webshops.
