AI Summary of Article 15 Information to be provided where personal data are collected from the data subject
This summary outlines the obligations of data controllers when collecting personal data from data subjects. Primarily, controllers must furnish data subjects with key information at the point of data collection, including their identity, contact details, data processing purposes, and any potential international transfers of data.
Moreover, controllers are required to provide additional details ensuring fair processing, such as data storage duration, rights to access, rectify or erase data, and the implications of automated decision-making. If personal data is to be processed for a different purpose, prior notification must be given, although the information obligations may be waived if already provided.
