What it requires

  • Delete personal data that has lost currency for the purposes for which it was collected, without waiting for the data subject to ask.
  • Before you rely on consent, explain to the data subject, in a form suited to their social and cultural level, the information that article 6 of the Act requires.
  • Honor a data subject's revocation of consent given at any time; the revocation has no retroactive effect.
  • Where a processor handles personal data for you, bind it by contract to act only on your instructions and to carry the obligations of article 9 of the Act.
