Your Rights Relating to Your Personal Data

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into effect in May 2018 in Belgium, stipulates that when using your personal data, you have certain rights at any time:

  • Right to data erasure
  • Right to data portability
  • Right to access your data
  • Right to data rectification
  • Right to restriction of data processing
  • Right to object

In accordance with Article 12 of the GDPR, to exercise your rights, you must contact the entity responsible for processing your personal data in writing, electronically, or orally. A copy of your identity card is also required and will not be valid orally.

From the date of receipt of your request, the data controller must inform you of the measures relating to your case within a maximum period of one month. Note that in some cases where the request is more complex, the response time can be up to three months. If this is the case, you will be informed, and the data controller must also provide you with the reasons for this extension.

In the event that the entity in charge of processing your personal data does not follow up on your request, it must inform you and provide the reasons for its refusal within one month of receiving your request. You then have the possibility to seek judicial recourse by filing a complaint with the Data Protection Authority (DPA).
