Dataprotectierechten

Dataprotectierechten refer to the fundamental rights individuals have concerning their personal data. These rights are established by data protection laws, most notably the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union, and similar legislation in other jurisdictions. The core principle behind these rights is to empower individuals and give them control over how their personal information is collected, processed, and stored.

Key dataprotectierechten typically include the right to access one's data, allowing individuals to request and receive a copy of the personal information a data controller holds about them. There is also the right to rectification, which enables individuals to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data. Furthermore, the right to erasure, often referred to as the "right to be forgotten," allows individuals to request the deletion of their personal data under certain circumstances.

Other important rights include the right to restrict processing, where an individual can request limitations on how their data is used, and the right to data portability, which permits individuals to receive their data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller. Individuals also possess the right to object to processing, enabling them to oppose certain uses of their data, such as for direct marketing. Finally, the right not to be subject to automated decision-making, including profiling, ensures that significant decisions about individuals are not solely based on automated processes without human intervention. These rights are crucial for safeguarding privacy in an increasingly data-driven world.
