Summary/Abstract: Article 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union guarantees the right to protection of personal data for every individual whatever their nationality or place of residence. The concept of this right requires that personal data be ‘processed fairly for specified purposes and on the basis of the consent of the person concerned or some other legitimate basis laid down by law’. The right to protection of personal data also ensures that everyone has the right of access to data that has been collected concerning him or her, and the right to have it rectified.
