Under article 16 of the GDPR, individuals have the ‘right to rectification’, allowing them to request that any inaccurate personal data held by businesses or other organisations about them is corrected. If the data is incomplete, individuals can also request that organisations add more information.
Making a request for data rectification can be made verbally or in writing, clearly stating that the accuracy of the data is being challenged and should be corrected and, where possible, providing evidence of the inaccuracy.
For more information, read Data rectification requests.
