andmekaitseõigusi

Andmekaitseõigusi refer to the legal rights individuals have concerning their personal data. These rights are fundamental in data protection law and aim to empower individuals to control how their information is collected, processed, and stored.

Key among these rights is the right to be informed, which obligates organizations to be transparent about what data they collect, why they collect it, and how it will be used. Individuals also have the right of access, allowing them to request a copy of the personal data an organization holds about them. This includes information about the purposes of processing, categories of data, and recipients of the data.

Furthermore, individuals possess the right to rectification, enabling them to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data. 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under certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the original purpose or when consent is withdrawn.

The right to restrict processing provides individuals with the ability to limit how their data is used, for example, while accuracy is being verified or if processing is unlawful. The right to data portability allows individuals to receive their personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller. Finally, the right to object grants individuals the power to object to the processing of their personal data, particularly for direct marketing purposes. These rights are crucial for maintaining privacy and autonomy in the digital age.
