There are many rights for data subjects when it comes to what happens with their personal data.

But have you ever wondered what aren’t rights for data subjects? Most likely not, but if at some point you make a DSAR it may be handy to know what you aren’t entitled to.

Be reminded that the rights of data subjects under GDPR are not absolute and can therefore be revoked in certain circumstances.
For example, data subjects have the right to access their personal data file, although not if that access adversely affects the rights and freedoms of other individuals. Another is the right to restrict data processing which doesn’t apply when data is processed for the purpose of prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offences.

Regardless of whether you are an expert on GDPR law and compliancy or you know very little; most people still don't fully understand what data actually counts as sensitive data.

Sensitive data includes any data referring to racial or ethnic origins, religious beliefs and political views. It also includes any genetic or biometric data, health-related data or data concerning an individual's sexual orientation.

There are many misconceptions when it comes to the GDPR and small businesses. Most small businesses do not realise the importance of being GDPR compliant, have limited knowledge and do not think that GDPR applies to them. This is not true.

Any company that processes the personal data of their customers can be held accountable for any data that is lost, leaked or taken via data breaches. Therefore, it is in every small business best interest to become GDPR compliant to avoid the huge fines levied out by the ICO.
