Statute overview

About this statute

This law sets rules for processing personal data, including controller duties, data subject information rights, lawful processing conditions, and limits on high-risk processing. Controllers, processors, and the Authority have detailed data protection duties and data subject rights for high-risk processing, breaches, security, consultation, and access requests. This part creates several data protection exemptions, allows certain cross-border transfers only with adequate protection or safeguards, and sets out offences, penalties, and remedies. The provision sets rules for unincorporated bodies, court practice, code approval, accreditation, public-sector application, service of notices, regulation-making powers, offences, commencement, and repeals. This provision sets out when special-category or cross-border data processing and transfers are allowed, and adds approval and record-keeping rules for binding corporate rules.
