What this service helps with
Businesses need a clear, authoritative explanation of data subjects' rights so they can respond correctly to requests from customers, employees or the public.
About this support
The Data Protection Commission publishes an overview of individuals' rights under the GDPR, rooted in the right to data protection under the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. The page explains that personal data must be processed fairly, for specified purposes, and only where a lawful basis applies (such as consent, contract, legal obligation, vital interests, public task or legitimate interests), and that individuals can access, correct and otherwise control their data. It directs readers to further detail on specific rights, how to exercise them, and how to raise a concern with the Commission, making it a reference point for businesses that need to understand the rights they must respect when handling customer or employee data.
