What it requires

  • Rectify personal information you hold about a person when the person requires it because the information is inaccurate, incomplete or equivocal, or because collecting, communicating or keeping it is not authorized by law (s. 28).

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

What record it asks for

Logging duty

Section 28 lets any person require personal information concerning them to be rectified when it is inaccurate, incomplete or equivocal, or when collecting, communicating or keeping it is not authorized by law. It names no log, register or record, sets no period, and says nobody may demand a record, so no logging duty is found.
