Question

What is the data subject? Choose one option then select Submit. Remember Choose 1 option A living individual to whom the personal data relates. A deceased individual to whom the personal data relates. A living individual to whom the personal data does not relate.

Answer 1

The Data Protection Act 2018, which correlates directly with the General Data Protection Regulation stated by the EU, provides a clear definition of what encompasses a 'data subject.' It specifies that a 'data subject' refers to any living individual about whom an organization holds personal data. This personal data could include their name, email address, any ID numbers, physical location, gender, date of birth, medical records, among other possible details. The act gives the data subject rights concerning their personal data, such as the rights to access, rectification, and erasure. These rules apply to the protection of individuals, providing them control over their personal data. Therefore, though two of the options, present potential subjects of data a deceased subject does not fall under the protection of the law as it defines 'data subject.' Similarly, data unrelated to any living individual also stays away from the umbrella of data subject protection.
