Your Rights as a Data Subject

 

If Rutteman and www.rutteman.com is storing, processing, and/or transmitting personal data for EU data subjects, then you must be made aware of the following rights and privileges under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

 

  • Right of Access: The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the data controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed, and, where that is the case, access to the personal data.

  • Right to Rectification: The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the data controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

  • Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten): The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the data controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay and the data controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay when various grounds apply, however when a user violates any of our terms and conditions or privacy policy or perhaps shares our material without permission, such a user will have no right to this clause, for they have waived such a right to us.

  • Right to Restriction of Processing: The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the data controller a restriction of processing when various grounds apply.

  • Right to Data Portability: The data subject shall have the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her within a time frame to be decided by the data controller, which he or she has provided to a data controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another data controller without hindrance from the data controller to which the personal data have been provided.

  • Right to Object: The data subject shall have the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her. The data controller shall no longer process the personal data unless the data controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

 

 

 

 

GDPR Data Protection Scope

 

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was enacted by the European Union to deepen and harmonize personal data protection regulations. Now in effect as of May 25, 2018, it is a comprehensive and clear set of guidelines that acknowledges that different “flavors” of personal data require different levels of protection.


GDPR applies to all businesses irrespective of the region or jurisdiction, no matter where they are based, who collect and process personal data on EU residents. Non-EU companies have to appoint a GDPR representative and will be liable for all fines and sanctions.


Some of the key requirements of the GDPR are:

 

  • Consent: Organizations must get consent to collect personal data, with the level of consent varying according to the type of personal data being collected.

  • Data minimization: Responding to years of gratuitous collection of personal data by apps, with no clear purpose in mind, the GDPR stipulates that organizations can only collect personal data that is clearly related to a well-defined business objective. If an organization gathers personal data for one purpose but then decides it wants to use it for another purposes (such as consumer profiling), that could be considered non-compliance.

  • Individual rights: Another key feature of the GDPR is the very clear rights that it gives data subjects (i.e., the individuals whose personal data is being collected) to understand why their data is being collected and how it is being processed. They have the right to object, to correct—and they have the right to be erased/forgotten. They also have the right to be notified (individually) if their personal data has been breached in a way that could endanger their freedoms and rights.

 

 

Rutteman and www.rutteman.com complies with the applicable legislation, regulations, statutes or orders which may apply from time to time relating to the collection, storage and use of Personal Information including (without limitation) the Privacy Act 1988(Cth), the Data Protection Act 1998, the European Union General Data Protection Regulation May 25, 2018, the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, the Data Protection (Processing of Sensitive Personal Data) Order 2000 and comparable laws, as the case may be in the applicable jurisdiction, or any amendments and/or re-enactments thereof.
