The primary school, as the controller, introduced a project called "happy school" in a non-transparent way in order to promote the school. Primary school recorded a CD of songs with children from this school, that contained the names and photos of the children. At the same time, the children went on a "tour" with this CD and school made a videos, which they later published on the "youtube" website. The CD was also released and sold in Hungary without consent of the parents. All this was done by the school only with the general written consent of the parents, which is signed by all parents at the beginning of the school year, and only for the purpose of publishing photosand promoting school activities on the school's website. Such consent did not meet the requirements of informed parental consent.
