  1. Your Data Protection Rights

 

Consent

Before processing personal data, a data controller or processor is required to inform the data subject on the nature and scope of the personal data, the reasons for processing the required personal data and whether it shall be shared with the third parties.

The data controllers or data processors have an obligation to ensure that a data subject has the capacity to understand and communicate their consent, they are informed of the nature of processing in simple and clear language that is understandable, they voluntarily give consent; and the consent is specific.

Processing of data

A data subject may request a data controller or data processor to restrict the processing of their personal data on grounds that: 2

  1. a) the data subject contests the accuracy of their personal data;
  2. b) the personal data has been unlawfully processed and the data subject opposes erasure and requests restriction instead;
  3. c) the data subject no longer needs their personal data but requires it to be kept in order to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim; or
  4. d) a data subject has objected to the processing of their personal data and a data controller or data processor is considering legitimate grounds that override those of the data subject.

 

Importantly, a data subject may request a data controller or data processor to rectify their personal data, which is untrue, inaccurate, outdated, incomplete or misleading. The application may be supported by the necessary documents relevant to the rectification being sought. Upon receiving the request, a data controller or data processor shall within seven days of receipt of the request, rectify an entry of personal data in the database where the data controller or data processor is satisfied that a rectification is necessary. In the event of a decline the data controller or data processor shall notify a data subject of that refusal and provide reasons

 

The Right to Object

A data subject has the right to object to processing where it may result in an unwarranted interference with their interests or rights by requesting a data controller or data processor not to process their personal data. An objection may be in relation to all or part of the personal data held by a data controller or data processor on a data subject.

 

Data Access request

A data subject may request to access their personal data. Upon the request, a data controller or data processor shall provide access to a data subject of their personal data in its possession, put in place electronic or manual mechanisms to enable a data subject access their personal data or provide the data subject with a copy of their personal data and details of the use and disclosure of their personal data.

A request for access to personal data may be declined on the grounds that:

  1. a) giving access would result to a serious threat to the life, health or safety of a data subject, or to public health or public safety;
  2. b) giving access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of any other data subject;
  3. c) the request for access is frivolous and vexatious;
  4. d) giving access would be unlawful;
  5. e) denial of access is authorized by an order of the court; and
  6. f) giving access would likely reveal evaluative information generated by the data controller or data processor in connection with a commercially sensitive decision-making process.

3 The Regulations provide that compliance with a request for access to personal data shall be free of charge.

 

Data Portability

A data subject may apply to transfer or copy their personal data from one data controller or data processor to another. Upon receipt of the application, a data controller or data processor shall within thirty days and upon payment of any charge port personal data to the data subject’s choice of recipient.

 

Right of erasure.

A data subject has the right to have their personal data erased if—

  1. a) the personal data is no longer necessary for the purpose which it was originally collected;
  2. b) the data subject withdraws their consent that was the lawful basis for retaining the personal data;
  3. c) the data subject objects to the processing of their data and there is no overriding legitimate interest to continue the processing;
  4. d) the processing of personal data is for direct marketing purposes and the individual objects to that processing;
  5. e) the processing of personal data has been unlawful including in breach of the lawfulness requirement; or
  6. f) required to comply with a legal obligation.

 

A request for erasure shall be dealt with within fourteen days of the request.

The right does not apply if processing is necessary for one of the following reasons:

  1. a) to exercise the right of freedom of expression and information;
  2. b) to comply with a legal obligation;
  3. c) for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority;
  4. d) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific research historical research or statistical purposes where erasure is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of that processing; or
