Does a data subject have the right to know if their data is processed?
Yes, the data subject possesses the absolute and primary right to be fully informed whether personal data pertaining to them is being actively processed. This explicitly includes being formally notified about the underlying existence of completely automated decision-making and algorithmic profiling operations. They must be thoroughly furnished with essential information before the actual entry of their data into the processing system or at the next practical opportunity. This robust informational right is firmly guaranteed under Section 34 IRR. “a. Right to be informed. 1. The data subject has a right to be informed whether personal data pertaining to him or her shall be, are being, or have been processed, including the existence of automated decision-making and profiling.” 22-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
