Yes, if an individual inquires about whether their data is being processed, this question must be answered. Therefore, even if an organization is not processing an individual’s data, that person has the right to receive confirmation.
Organizations must disclose the following: the purposes of processing (why the data is being used), the categories of data collected (e.g., contact information, browsing behavior), who the data might be shared with (especially if sent to third countries or international organizations), and how long the data is intended to be stored (or the factors used to determine the storage duration).
Organizations are required to inform individuals about their rights.
These include:
If an international transfer of personal data is taking place and it is not based on an adequacy decision (Article 45(3)), then organizations must inform individuals about the appropriate safeguards in place, according to Article 46 of the GDPR, to protect their data during the transfer.
On request, an organization is required to provide a copy of the personal data it is processing to the individual whose data is being processed.
The organisation may charge a reasonable fee for additional copies. Electronic copies should be delivered in a common format unless the individual asks otherwise.
Yes. An individual’s request for their data cannot infringe on the rights and freedoms of others.
