IDC Names Securiti a Worldwide Leader in Data Privacy
ViewThe Irish Data Protection Act, 2018 (Irish DPA) implements the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and transposes the European Union Law Enforcement Directive in Ireland. Since it incorporates most of the provisions from the GDPR and the Law Enforcement Directive with limited additions and deletions as per the national law, it is considered to be the principal data protection legislation in Ireland.
The Irish DPA provides the same rights to data subjects with respect to their personal data as that of the GDPR. These rights give data subjects control over their data and may be processed under particular conditions and limitations.
Data subjects have the right to be informed of when and how their data is being used and collected. This refers to the obligation of the data controller to inform and notify any relevant details to the data subjects for any important action taken on their data.
On a request of the data subject, an organization must provide data subject access to his/her personal data and information about the ways personal data has been or may have been used, disclosed, or processed by the organization.
This right applies when the accuracy of data is contested by the data subject and when processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the deletion of the data. Data subjects need to be informed before any such restriction is lifted.
The right to data portability allows data subjects to receive their personal data for their own purposes across different services in a structured and commonly used format. It allows data subjects to copy, move, and/or transfer their personal data easily from one IT environment to another. The right to data portability may be declined where it is not technically feasible to support.
The CCPA strictly requires businesses not to discriminate against their consumers for exercising their rights under the CCPA. Businesses are allowed to vary their services or change the price of goods and services, if the difference in service or price is reasonably related to the value of the consumers’ personal information to the business.
The right to erasure gives consumers the right to request deletion of all their data stored by the organization. Not only are organizations supposed to comply within 45 days but are also required to deliver a report on the deleted information to the consumer.
Where the personal data is processed for archiving purposes in the public interest, or processed for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes, the Irish DPA allows the restriction of data subjects’ rights, if the exercise of the right would likely render impossible, or seriously impair the achievement of those purposes and such restriction is necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes.
The Irish DPA reaffirms the obligations of organizations as outlined in the GDPR. Some of the key obligations for Irish organizations are as follows:
In Ireland, the European Union’s e-Privacy Directive was implemented into the e-Privacy Regulations of 2011. These regulations require organizations to obtain data subject’s valid consent prior to the installation of cookies and provide the data subject clear and comprehensive information in accordance with the Irish DPA.
Between August and December 2019, the Irish DPC carried out a cookie sweep survey, sending questionnaires to 40 Irish organizations to examine the use of cookies and similar technologies. Based on the results of the survey, the DPC released a substantive Guidance Note on Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies later in April 2020, containing the following key requirements for organizations:
