What it makes you log

Logging duty

Articles 15 to 18 and 21 to 23 set the data subject's rights and response times; article 16 has the responsible party give the data subject a certificate of the updated database entry on request, a document handed over rather than a record kept. Article 18 lets ANTAI request information and make verifications limited to the complaint before it, a power to demand information and not a duty to keep a record. The register of transfers in Article 31 sits in an article the row does not cite.

Research summary

Legal information, not legal advice. This is LexLint's own research summary of a public legal source, and it creates no attorney-client relationship. For decisions that matter, consult qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction. About LexLint

Article 15 gives every data subject the irrenounceable rights of access, rectification, cancellation, opposition and portability, including a structured, commonly used, machine readable copy of their personal data that can be moved to another responsible party, at least where the data subject supplied the data directly, a relevant volume of automated processing is involved, or the data subject consented or a contract requires it.

Article 16 requires a response to an access request within ten business days, free of charge, and article 17 requires an inaccurate, erroneous or incomplete datum to be corrected within five business days of the request, letting the Autoridad Nacional de Transparencia y Acceso a la Información decide when a datum is inaccurate or unfounded.

Article 18 lets a data subject take an unanswered request to that Authority, which may then demand information and carry out verifications limited to the complaint presented. Article 21 bars limiting a data subject's access, revocation, cancellation, opposition or blocking rights by any act or agreement between parties, voiding any clause that tries. Article 22 lets a data subject reach any one of several responsible parties feeding a shared database.

Article 23 withholds an information, rectification, cancellation or blocking request where it would impede a pending administrative or judicial process or state security, and withholds rectification, cancellation or blocking of data a legal mandate requires to be kept, outside the cases special laws allow. Article 44 extends these rights to personal data already held in a database that existed before the Law took effect.
