You have the right to obtain from the Data Controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the Data Controller has the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay under certain conditions.
- Right to Be Forgotten – Notification to Other Controllers
Where the Data Controller has made the personal data public and is obliged to erase it, the Controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that you have requested the erasure of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.
- Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to obtain from the Data Controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:
- You contest the accuracy of the personal data, for a period enabling the Data Controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
- The processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of its use instead;
- The Data Controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims;
- You have objected to processing; in this case, the restriction applies until it is verified whether the legitimate grounds of the Data Controller override yours.
- Right to Data Portability

Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data shall no longer be processed for such purposes.
- Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
This does not apply if the decision:
- is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the Data Controller;
- is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the Data Controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
- is based on your explicit consent.
Response Timeframe
The Data Controller shall provide information on the action taken on your request without undue delay and in any event within 1 month of receipt of the request.
If necessary, this period may be extended by 2 additional months, taking into account the complexity and number of the requests. The Data Controller shall inform you of any such extension within 1 month of receipt of the request, together with the reasons for the delay.
If the Data Controller does not take action on your request, they shall inform you without delay, and at the latest within 1 month of receipt of the request, of the reasons for not taking action and on the possibility of lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority and seeking a judicial remedy.
Data Security
The Data Controller and the Data Processor shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. These measures may include:
- the pseudonymization and encryption of personal data;
- the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing systems and services;
- the ability to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident;
- a process for regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures for ensuring the security of the processing.
Notification of the Data Subject About a Data Breach
If the personal data breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the Data Controller shall communicate the personal data breach to the data subject without undue delay.
The notification to the data subject shall describe in clear and plain language the nature of the personal data breach and shall contain at least the following information: the name and contact details of the data protection officer or other contact point where more information can be obtained; a description of the likely consequences of the personal data breach; a description of the measures taken or proposed to be taken by the Data Controller to address the personal data breach, including, where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects.
No communication to the data subject shall be required if any of the following conditions are met:
- The Data Controller has implemented appropriate technical and organizational protection measures, and those measures were applied to the personal data affected by the breach — in particular those that render the personal data unintelligible to any person who is not authorized to access it, such as encryption.
- The Data Controller has taken subsequent measures which ensure that the high risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects is no longer likely to materialize.
- It would involve disproportionate effort. In such a case, there shall instead be a public communication or similar measure whereby the data subjects are informed in an equally effective manner.
If the Data Controller has not yet notified the data subject of the personal data breach, the supervisory authority may require them to do so after considering the likely risk.
Notification of a Personal Data Breach to the Supervisory Authority
The Data Controller shall notify the competent supervisory authority of the personal data breach without undue delay, and where feasible, no later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, unless the personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
If the notification is not made within 72 hours, it shall be accompanied by the reasons for the delay.
Right to Lodge a Complaint
If you believe that the Data Controller has infringed your rights, you may lodge a complaint with the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (NAIH):
