What it requires
- Respond to a person's request, or a legal representative's request, for access to the personal data you hold about that person, and give a formal extract of it on request, except for data government security bodies keep for reasons of national security (Article 33).
- Delete or amend a person's personal data when the person asks and the data is invalid or does not conform with reality, and replace the information to reflect later amendments (Article 36).
These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.
What this law does
Article 33 lets a person ask the bodies named in Article 32 for access to the personal data registered about him or her. The person may also obtain a formal extract of the data. Article 33 excludes personal data that government security bodies keep in their records for reasons of national security. Article 33 requires the bodies to respond to the request. Article 36 lets individuals ask the Article 32 bodies to delete or amend personal data they hold in their records or systems. Individuals may also ask for the information to be replaced to reflect amendments.
