What follows is LexLint's own research summary of this law, not legal advice.

In force since 17 May 2022.

A data subject rights rule binding public and private bodies.

As of 19 September 2026.

What it requires

  • Answer an access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability or objection request within one month of receipt, extendable by two further months for complex or numerous requests, and tell the data subject about any extension within the first month.
  • Tell a data subject, at the point you collect or first obtain their personal data, your identity, the purposes and legal basis of processing, the recipients, any transfer to a third country, the storage period, and their rights.
  • Give a data subject a copy of their personal data on request, along with the purposes, categories, recipients, storage period and other Article 18 information, free of charge for the first copy.
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data on request without undue delay, and pass the correction on to recipients the data were disclosed to.
  • Erase personal data on request without undue delay where it is no longer necessary, consent is withdrawn with no other lawful basis, the data subject objects with no overriding ground, it was processed unlawfully, a legal obligation requires erasure, or it was collected under the child information-society-service consent rule, and de-reference it if you operate a search engine indexing it.
  • Restrict processing on request while accuracy is contested, in place of erasure where the data subject prefers restriction, where you no longer need the data but the data subject does for legal claims, or while an objection is being verified.
  • Give a data subject their data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller on request where processing rests on consent or a contract and is automated.
  • Stop processing personal data for direct marketing, including related profiling, as soon as a data subject objects, and bring that right to their attention explicitly and separately no later than the first communication with them.
  • Do not subject a data subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal effects concerning them, unless a listed exception applies and you provide the required safeguards, and never subject a minor to such a decision at all.
  • If you provide internet access as a service, offer transparent terms free of technical or economic discrimination and inform users of their rights, per Article 21's digital-rights guarantee.

What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

Article 15 requires the controller to give the Article 16 and 17 information and handle an Article 18 to 25 request in a concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible form, free of charge and within one month of the request, extendable by two further months for complex or numerous requests.

Articles 16 and 17 set the information a controller must give a data subject, whether the data came from the subject or elsewhere, covering the controller's identity, the purposes and legal basis of processing, the recipients, any transfer to a third country, the storage period, and the data subject's rights. Article 18 gives a right of access to confirmation of processing, a copy of the personal data, and the accompanying information the article lists.

Article 19 gives a right to rectification of inaccurate personal data and completion of incomplete data. Article 20 gives a right to erasure, the right to be forgotten, on the listed grounds, including withdrawal of consent, unlawful processing, and collection under Article 8's information-society-service consent rule, and requires a controller whose data are accessed through a search engine to de-reference them.

Article 21 guarantees digital rights on the internet, including net neutrality, universal and non-discriminatory access, and the security of communications, and requires internet service providers to offer transparent service terms free of technical or economic discrimination.

Article 22 gives a right to restriction of processing where accuracy is contested, processing is unlawful, the controller no longer needs the data but the data subject does for legal claims, or an Article 24 objection is pending verification. Article 23 gives a right to data portability in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format where processing rests on consent or a contract and is carried out by automated means.

Article 24(1) gives a right to object to processing the controller did not obtain directly from the data subject, for reasons related to their particular situation. Article 24(2) gives a separate, unconditional right to object to processing for direct marketing purposes, including related profiling.

Article 25 gives a right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal effects concerning the data subject, subject to the listed exceptions and safeguards, and bars a minor from being subject to such a decision at all.

Article 26 lets these rights be restricted only by law, consistently with the essence of fundamental rights and freedoms, and only where necessary and proportionate to safeguard the listed public interests, including state security, defence, public safety, and the prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offences.
