Study Notes

Personal Data and Data Processing

Personal data refers to aspects relating to a natural person, including performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
Registration of data processing systems is required to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person.

Data Subject Rights

Right to be Informed: data subjects have the right to be informed that their personal data will be, are being, or were collected and processed.
Right to Access: data subjects have the right to find out whether an organization holds any personal data about them and gain reasonable access to it.

Data Processing Relationships

Personal Information Controllers (PIC) are responsible for holding personal data.
Data subjects may authorize an agent to act on their behalf.

Data Life Cycle

Collection: the first stage of the data life cycle.
Use: the second stage of the data life cycle.
Sharing/Transfer: the third stage of the data life cycle.
Storage: the fourth stage of the data life cycle.
Disposal: the fifth stage of the data life cycle.

Consent must be freely given, specific, and not obtained through deception, intimidation, coercion, or negative consequences.
Data privacy is important to protect against threats such as theft, unsecured disposal of documents, natural disasters, lack of backup and failover procedures, and phishing attacks.

Lawful Processing of Personal Data

Processing of personal data is allowed subject to adherence to the principles of transparency, legitimate purpose, and proportionality.
Lawful processing of personal data includes consent of the data subject, contractual agreement, protection of vital interest, compliance to legal obligation, response to public order and safety, medical treatment or procedures, legitimate interests of the company, and constitutional or statutory mandate of public authority.

Data Privacy Principles

Transparency: data subjects must be aware of the nature, purpose, and extent of processing of their personal data, risks, control measures, PIC identity, and their rights to privacy.
Legitimate Purpose: personal data must be processed for a legitimate purpose.
Proportionality: personal data must be processed in a proportionate manner.
