Hi !
The right to object under GDPR is complex, especially when you are a data controller who is also a municipality. There are several reasons for this. Perhaps the clearest reason is that it is a right that the data subject has, even though the processing is legal.
Therefore, we have written a legal article in Norwegian that has been published in Lov&Data, which you can read here.
And know that it is for those particularly interested! However, what we want you to understand is that the way to distinguish an objection from others is by asking the following questions:
- Is the processing legal?
- Does the inquiry concern personal circumstances or individual considerations on the part of the data subject?
If the answer to both questions is yes, then the inquiry is an objection.
I wish you a wonderful, privacy-friendly week-end!
Best regards,
Ida Thorsrud
