Right of access by data subject, right to rectification, right of erasure and right to restriction of processing
Article 5
1. Where the Commission restricts, wholly or partly, the right of access to data by data subjects, the right to rectification, the right of erasure, or the right to restriction of processing as referred to in Articles 17 to 20, respectively, of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, it shall inform the data subject concerned, in its reply to the request for access, rectification, erasure or restriction of processing of the following aspects: (a) the restriction applied and of the principal reasons thereof; (b) the possibility of lodging a complaint with the European Data Protection Supervisor. 2. The Commission may defer, omit or deny the provision of information concerning the reasons for a restriction and the right to lodge a complaint with the European Data Protection Supervisor for as long as it would cancel the effect of the restriction. The Commission shall assess whether this is justified on a case-by-case basis. As soon as it no longer cancels the effect of the restriction, the Commission shall provide the information to the data subject.
