3. Rights of the individual
Access, rectification and erasure
Right of access
Also known as a Subject Access Request (SAR). Individuals can ask what personal data you hold about them and why, and get a copy of it, normally free of charge and within one month.
Right to rectification
Individuals can have inaccurate personal data corrected, or incomplete data completed.
Right to erasure
Individuals can ask you to delete their data in specific circumstances, for example when it's no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected for, or consent is withdrawn and there's no other legal basis. This right has significant exemptions, for example where you have a legal obligation to keep the data.
