One of the EU's key objectives in adopting the General Data
Protection Regulation ("GDPR") is to
contribute to the well-being of individuals by reinforcing their
rights with respect to their own personal data.
As from 25 May 2018, persons and companies acting as data
controllers should comply with the reinforced data subjects'
rights under the GDPR. Further, they should also implement adequate
systems and processes to
"facilitate the exercise"of such individual
rights. Infringements of the data subjects' rights
will be subject to significant fines.
You will find below a brief review of some of the most important
rights of data subjects that every data controller must consider
before the entry into effect of the GDPR.
