Protection of Privacy Law, data subject rights

Arts. 13 and 13A give a data subject the right to access their own data held by a database, and Art. 14 gives a right to demand rectification or deletion, with follow-through notice to prior recipients of the corrected or deleted data; Art. 16 imposes a confidentiality duty on anyone with database access. A separate compensation right exists through the enforcement provisions rather than as a standalone rights article.

No General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Art. 22-style right to object to a fully automated decision is identified, and none is asserted either way.

Arts. 13 and 14 are original 1981 enactment provisions, sitting in Chapter B, whose own Art. 37 commencement clause provides that Chapter B comes into force six months from the date of publication of this Law rather than on Knesset passage; the original Hebrew enactment (from the Knesset's own legislative archive) confirms this wording and confirms Art. 13A is not present in that 1981 text, so it was inserted by a later amendment.

Neither the original Law's Reshumot publication date nor Art. 13A's own insertion date was established at primary source, so no effective date is recorded, and the status is enacted rather than an inferred in-force date.
