Data Protection Fundamentals
There’s a lot of poor quality information out there about data protection. There’s a lot of uninformed opinion about what data protection is, and what it isn’t. There’s a lot of guidance available for data controllers, but not so much for data subjects – that’s you. We’d like to make sure you have as much information as you need to understand and act when you need to.
Your Rights
You have an extensive set of rights under European data protection law. This section explains what these rights are, what they mean for you in practice and how you can go about exercising them.
In More Detail
The articles in this section explore and explain some of the concepts of data protection in a bit more depth. Not just what the law says, but how the law applies in the real world. Some common misconceptions and areas of confusion are cleared up here too.
Keeping Track
We aim to keep track over time of how easy it is for data subjects to exercise their rights – particularly the right of access, as without it many of the other rights are rendered useless. We hope to build and publish a collection of Data Subject Access Requests, the responses to these from data controllers and how these are dealt with by the complaints mechanism of the Data Protection Commission.
