The GDPR provides the following rights for individuals:

1.  The right of access, commonly referred to as subject access, gives individuals the right to obtain a copy of their personal data as well as other supplementary information. It helps individuals to understand how and why you are using their data, and check you are doing it lawfully.
2. The right to rectification. Individuals have the right to have inaccurate personal data rectified. An individual may also be able to have incomplete personal data completed – although this will depend on the purposes for the processing. This may involve providing a supplementary statement to the incomplete data.
3. The right to erasure: Individuals have the right to have personal data erased. This is also known as the ‘right to be forgotten’. The right is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances. Individuals have the right to have their personal data erased if:

• the personal data is no longer necessary for the purpose which you originally collected or processed it for.
• you are relying on consent as your lawful basis for holding the data, and the individual withdraws their consent;
• you are relying on legitimate interests as your basis for processing, the individual objects to the processing of their data, and there is no overriding legitimate interest to continue this processing;
• you are processing the personal data for direct marketing purposes and the individual objects to that processing;
• you have processed the personal data unlawfully (ie in breach of the lawfulness requirement of the 1st principle);
• you have to do it to comply with a legal obligation; or
• You have processed the personal data to offer information society services to a child.

1. The right to restrict processing. This means that an individual can limit the way that an organization uses their data. This is an alternative to requesting the erasure of their data. Individuals have the right to restrict the processing of their personal data where they have a particular reason for wanting the restriction. This may be because they have issues with the content of the information you hold or how you have processed their data. In most cases you will not be required to restrict an individual’s personal data indefinitely, but will need to have the restriction in place for a certain period of time.
2. The right to data portability gives individuals the right to receive personal data they have provided to a controller in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format. It also gives them the right to request that a controller transmits this data directly to another controller.
3. The right to object to the processing of their personal data. This effectively allows individuals to ask you to stop processing their personal data.
