What it makes you log

Logging duty

Articles 34 to 36 give the data subject the rights of access, rectification and objection, with a ten-day period for rectification. They require no log, register or proof to be kept. The only evidential rule is in article 34, which puts on the controller the burden of showing that a repeated access request is manifestly abusive. The provisions cited here contain no scope clause, so no territorial hook is recorded.
