In our first episode with a guest, Victoria talks to Temitayo Ogunmokun on the subject of data subject rights. Temitayo is a Legal Counsel at Alaw International Law Firm in Belgium, and specializes in Privacy, Data Protection, and Privacy.
The conversation on data subject rights is taken from the Nigerian and the EU perspective. As a prelude, Victoria and Temitayo discuss the following foundational issues:
- Privacy v. Data protection: are they the same
- The inaccuracy of the term 'data protection'
- Personal data
- Data subject
The rights of a data subject include:
1. Right of information
2. Right of access
3. Erasure/right to be forgotten
4. Restriction of processing
5. Portability
6. Rectification
7. Right to object
8. Right against automated decision-making
