Pembroke Privacy

If your organisation has data subjects who are children, you may be aware that the DPC opened an extensive consultation on its draft guidance on the rights of children as data subjects.

This addresses core data protection issues, such as:
- The age at which children can exercise their own data protection rights
- The role of parents/ guardians in acting on behalf of their children
- Age verification and verification of parental consent
- The rules governing the processing of children’s personal data for direct marketing, profiling or advertising purposes

Children’s data rights will be a critical focus area for regulatory authorities in 2021. Is your company prepared for the changes that may come?

Are you aware of how the DPC assesses a breach?

Once a breach notification is lodged with the Data Protection Commission, multiple factors are assessed. These include, but are by no means limited to:

1. The nature of the breach: was it intentionally or accidentally caused?
2. Whether there is a history of breaches of a similar nature
3. Characteristics and volume of the personal data involved
4. Categorisation of the data subjects: e.g., are they children / vulnerable persons?
5. The statutory responsibilities of the data controller and/or processor
