For the better understanding of data the HCSO publishes the documentation of many different statistical domains including EAA documentation.

It comprises the definitions of concepts, the data sources used in a statistical domain, the methods applied, data quality aspects, the most frequently used classifications and other metadata. Metadata and documentations are permanently updated in accordance with changes.

Statistical domains: main metadata of statistics (purpose, content, legal base, data production methodology, data quality, concepts, classifications, data sources, forms of publications)

Concepts and definitions: glossary of statistics, explanation of and cross-references between concepts, changes of  definitions over time

Classifications: main classifications used in statistics, their structure, with explanation of items, tables of correspondence between different classifications and the different versions of each classification

Data sources: registers, data surveys, and data received from other sources, serving as a basis for producing statistics.

- Data collections: most important metadata of data collections and surveys, which are the data sources of a statistical domain (enactor, frequency, scope of data suppliers, deadline for data receipt, etc.). Statistical data collections ordered by the HCSO are listed here.

- Administrative data sources: description of administrative data sources used as data sources for a statistical domain (data provider, frequency, scope of data, etc.). Administrative data: data generated during the implementation of the statutory administrative tasks of the administrative organization (e.g. public registers). Administrative data received by the HCSO are displayed here.

- Non-administrative data sources: description of non-administrative data sources forming the data source of the statistical domain (data provider, frequency, scope of data, etc). Data sources not required by law or created for non-administrative purposes as well as statistical data collections ordered by organizations of the official statistical service other than the HCSO if these are taken over by the HCSO are displayed here.

- Registers: descriptions of HCSO registers and attributes of register units serving as a basis for a statistical domain

The protection of personal data and the publicity of data of public interest are regulated by the following Acts in Hungary:

- Act CLV of 2016 on Official statistics,

- Act CXII of 2011 on Informational Self-Determination and on Freedom of Information.

Besides the above mentioned legal acts, internal regulations on confidentiality exist within the HCSO. On the top of the regulations concerning data protection stands the Confidentiality Policy of the HCSO, which contains the most important principles regarding statistical confidentiality. The HCSO Regulation on Data Protection sets forth more detailed rules and as a framework regulation is complemented by several other internal regulations.

The access to statistical data is regulated in a separate internal regulation (Regulation 18/2014 on the rules of data access) which contains the rules on the six data access channels of the HCSO.

In virtue of the Act CXII of 2011 on Informational Self-Determination and on Freedom of Information and the Act XLVI CLV of 2016 on Official statistics all individual data are qualified as confidential and are treated as such. Survey data are validated and checked exclusively by the staff of HCSO and enumerators are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to the completed questionnaires.
