Law; Rights of Data Subject.

The most important right every person has is the right to limit how much of their personal information is taken. This is by giving or refusing to give consent. However apart from this, there are other rights every one of us has a person with personal data (We are called Data subjects).

1. Access to your personal data

You have the right to ask to access any information you gave out to another person or organisation for example you can ask the any hospital with your medical information to let you have a copy and to see what ‘they have on you.’ Remember to provide proof of identity to before asking for this information.

You are entitled to this information immediately or within 30 days,

2. Prevent Processing of personal data.

When you give out personal data, the person you give it to can choose to organise it, alter how it is arranged and even erase some (these actions are known as processing). However you are entitled to tell him/her not to stop doing of this to your personal data if you believe it is likely to cause unjustified substantial damage or distress to you.

In addition, if you find out that there is an automated mode of processing of your personal data, you can ask that the decision to alter, organise or handle your information is revised and reconsidered.

Make sure you write to the people with your personal data to tell them to stop.

3. Stop use of personal data for marketing

If you do not want your personal data handled and used for marketing purposes, you have a right to prevent this.

If you have or attempt to enforce any of these rights and the person or entity with your personal data refuses to fulfil your request, then you still have a right to complain to NITA (the authority that regulates how your personal data is used) about your rights. As a result, you may be compensated for any damage or distress you suffer as a result of this violation.
