Full transcript

Most people ask for their data. Ask for both.

Section 11(1)(a) gives you two things.

A summary of the personal data being processed,

and the processing activities undertaken with it.

Pause. Which half do people forget?

The second one. The activities.

Not just what they hold about you —

what they are doing with it.

One request. Two answers owed.

Ask for the summary, and the activities.
