EU citizens shall have the right to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether personal data are being processed, and, where that is the case, access to the personal data.
"The Right to be Forgotten" - EU citizens right the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay where the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
"Right to restriction of processing": Data subjects have the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where the controller is required to preserve the data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims
Personal data must be kept in a form which permits the identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for archiving purposes, including protection against unauthorised processing and against accidental loss or destruction, using appropriate technical measures.
"Data Protection by design and by default" - Data controllers must implement appropriate technical measures for ensuring that, by default, only personal data which are necessary for each specific purpose is processed.
"Records of processing activities" - Data controllers must maintain records of processing activities, including categories of data subjects and personal data, the envisaged time limits for the different categories of data, and a general description of technical and security measures.
The GDPR will affect not only EU-based organizations, but many data controllers and processors outside the EU as well. Threats of hefty fines tilt the business case for compliance and should cause decision makers to re-evaluate measures to safely process personal data.
