Rights of the Individual

According to the legislation and the GDPR individuals have the following fundamental rights in respect of the personal data held about them:

1. The right to have Access to personal data and information pertaining specifically to them.

2. The right to correct mistakes recognised in those data or that information.

3. The right to request that those data or that information be destroyed (the right to be forgotten).

4. The right to refuse direct marketing.

5. The right to block the processing of their personal data.

6. The right to transfer personal data.

Raidió na Life will adhere to the requirements of the legislation and GDPR in every way, in accordance with the organisation’s resources and duties.

Requests for access

In accordance with the above rights an individual has the right to request personal data and information kept on them to check the information and lawfulness of the processing of the information. Under GDPR they have the right:

• To seek confirmation that their personal data are being processed
• To gain access to their personal data
• To seek other information as set out in the legislation and the GDPR

These are the steps to be taken in respect of requests to the organisation for access:

• Any application for access to information will be sent to the data protection officer in writing at [email protected].
• The application will be answered as soon as possible and within a month at the latest.

• To comply with the law, the information can only be revealed to the applicant or to a person authorised to obtain the information. For this reason, identity must be confirmed for the applicant or their representative. These persons can apply for access to apply for access to personal data: o The individual to whom the personal data apply
o A representative of the individual to whom the personal data apply
o A person appointed by a court of law
o A law enforcement agency

Appropriate steps must be taken to confirm the applicant’s identity before any work on the application is started. Raidió na Life will request a time extension of two months to the above deadline if they believe that the application is complex or multifaceted. The other provisions of GDPR and the legislation will be relevant if it is deemed that the application is without grounds or excessive.

Complaints

• The regulation and act set out rules on how organisations should collect and use information and Raidió na Life is committed to adhere to those rules, in proportion with the scale of their resources and their duties. But if an individual believes that Raidió na Life has not handled their personal data in accordance with the act, they can complain to the data protection officer at [email protected].
• An individual can complain also if they are not satisfied with the way in which their application for access has been dealt with. Usually, they will receive an answer within 20 working days after Raidió na Life has received the complaint.
• After this step, and if they are still dissatisfied, the individual can request that the Data Protection Commissioner calculate how Raidió na Life are fulfilling the act in respect of personal data.
