What rights do individuals have under data protection laws?

• A. The right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object, and data portability, subject to exemptions.
• B. The right to demand unlimited processing of personal data.
• C. The right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, and data portability, subject to exemptions.
• D. The right to force others to share your data publicly.

Answer: (C)

Under data protection laws, individuals have a set of rights that give them control over their personal information. The key rights include: being able to access your data to see what is held about you; rectifying any inaccuracies in that data; erasing data in certain conditions (the right to be forgotten); restricting how your data is processed in particular situations; and obtaining your data in a portable format so you can move it to another service (data portability). These rights are not absolute; they are subject to exemptions where processing must continue or where certain requirements justify limiting a right.

This combination—access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, and data portability, all subject to exemptions—best captures the rights individuals have under data protection laws.
