dataemner

Dataemner, or data subjects, are individuals or entities whose personal data is processed by organizations. The term is derived from the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a comprehensive data protection law enacted by the European Union. Data subjects have rights under the GDPR, including the right to access their data, the right to rectification, the right to erasure, the right to restrict processing, the right to data portability, and the right to object to processing. These rights are designed to empower data subjects and ensure they have control over their personal information. Data subjects can exercise these rights by contacting the data controller or processor, who are responsible for the processing of personal data. The GDPR also introduces the concept of the data subject's right to be informed, ensuring that individuals are aware of how their data is being used. This includes transparency about the purpose of data processing, the legal basis for processing, and the recipients of the data. Data subjects play a crucial role in the data protection framework, as their rights and consent are fundamental to the lawful and ethical processing of personal data.
