We have a very large amount of personal data to consider in response to a subject access request. How do we deal with this? You can also use this marker not only on paper but also on plastic, bottles, metal, glass, wood, and fabric. The right to object only applies if you’re relying on the lawful bases of ‘public task’ or ‘legitimate interest’. But you may also need to take action if someone objects to you using their data when you’re relying on the lawful basis of ‘consent’. For example, if a customer has previously given you their consent to use their personal data but has now changed their mind, they might tell you they object to you continuing to use their personal data. If this happens, you’ll have to stop – but not because of their right to object. You’ll have to stop because they’re withdrawing their consent, which means that you won’t be able to rely on ‘consent’ as your lawful basis any longer, and therefore can’t continue using their data.

You must give someone a copy of the footage if it contains their data, unless an exemption applies. If they agree, you can arrange for them to view the footage, rather than receiving a copy. Besides being useful in legal settings, PDF redaction can be used to protect similarly sensitive information in professional communications between businesses or clients. Businesses can protect trade secrets and proprietary information when sharing documents. Certain financial information may also be kept secure by redacting it in a PDF.For example, if you’re sending someone marketing information about your business and they object, you’ll need to stop. The right to object to marketing is the strongest right in this category. Also, choose a marker that is not leaky. Sometimes, there are markers that tend to leak fully. It is better if the caps are easy to open too. However, I notice that it does not dry instantly. You have to wait for several seconds to dry the ink completely. Also, do not make another swipe if it is not yet dried because this may saturate the paper. A request could be considered excessive if it repeats or overlaps other recent requests. However, a request isn’t excessive just because a large amount of data has been asked for. In these cases, you can ask the person to narrow their request. If they choose not to, you’ll need to carry out reasonable searches for all the information.

Concealing confidential information is significant. It will protect your identity and keep you safe. That is why you have to keep redacting markers that can hide your sensitive information. This marker has a 4.0mm writing width and a chisel tip,ideal foreasily covering information within mail and documents with one stroke. What should we do if some of the data we’re looking to provide when responding to a subject access request contains someone else’s personal data? You should try and supply all the personal data a person has asked you to provide. At its core, data protection law is about openness and transparency – and people have the right to access their own personal data. If you withhold information, you’re denying those rights.David, an owner of a newsagent, has suspicions that Lara, an employee, has been stealing from his shop. David shares evidence with the police for investigation purposes. Lara requests a copy of all her personal data held by David, which he agrees to provide. However, David relies on the crime and taxation exemption to withhold the information shared with the police. He believes that telling Lara may prejudice the investigation. When you sanitize PDF files, you remove all visible and hidden sensitive information so your PDF is free from content you want to keep private. However, you let it dry completely. Also, it is perfect for hiding information you do not want to see on prescription bottles or personal information in medical documents. Digital document redaction has proved challenging for years, with unnumbered examples of failures to properly secure sensitive information. Sometimes it is human error; other times, technical failings are at fault. “It’s hard to redact something as complicated as a PDF to completely remove the information,” Levchenko says. PDFs can contain text, images, tables, metadata, and more information. According to data protection laws, personal data is information which relates to living people. Therefore, a person can’t make a subject access request to get information about someone who has died.

You may be most familiar with redaction in legal or government-related documents. When court documents are published or shared with other parties, sensitive or private information is redacted. This includes information that could pose identity theft risks, information relevant to ongoing investigations, classified information, and information deemed otherwise unnecessary and too private for the public. Courts specifically mandate that certain personally identifiable information (PII) be redacted, so redaction is used especially often in legal settings. Sensitive or identifying images might also be redacted, sometimes including just faces in images. Bullet tip. Nib most normally used, because the nib is rounded you can hold the pen however you like and the stroke will be the same at all times. For example, if you need to dismiss one of your employees because of gross misconduct, they can’t object to any further use of their personal data by your company to save themselves from further repercussions. Similarly, if you’re a pub landlord and you need to bar someone from your pub because they’ve been causing trouble, the person can’t object to this use of their personal data in the hope that it will mean they can keep coming to your pub. Multiple high-profile redaction failures have exposed information that someone wanted to keep secret. These have involved mistakes in the redaction process, failure to properly protect the information, and the inclusion of enough details to allow people to decipher what the redactions were meant to be.

You should redact or remove any information which doesn’t relate to the person making the subject access request. This is important because most of the time you should avoid disclosing information about other people. If they request all their personal data, rather than information from a particular category or date range, you should gather all of that information as best you can. A request isn’t complex in a data protection sense because you use a data processor or because it involves a large amount of information.
