GDPR Overview
- GDPR is a new privacy law in the EU. The GDPR provides more rights to Data Subjects. These are:
- Consent - The data subject must give explicit consent for their data to be used for a particular purpose.
- Right to Access - The ability to obtain from the data controller whether information is being processed on them and what that data is.
- Breach Notification - Notification to the data subject if a data breach is likely to 'result in a risk for the rights and freedoms of individuals'.
- Right to be Forgotton - Ability of a data subject to request their data is deleted. The conditions for erasure, as outlined in article 17, include the data no longer being relevant to original purposes for processing, or a data subjects withdrawing consent. It should also be noted that this right requires controllers to compare the subjects' rights to "the public interest in the availability of the data" when considering such requests.
- Data Portability - Ability for a data subject to receive the personal data concerning them and have the right to transmit that data to another controller.
- Privacy by Design - Designing privacy into a system rather than as an extra at the end.
