Hi listers,
The rights as provided are quite progressive and commendable. However, one cannot help to but ask, what remedies are available for a data subject? The Act criminalizes the various ways of misappropriating data which is an effective deterrent. All the same, it would be prudent in my humble opinion to include the right to compensation/ damages to the victims of such abuse of data. This would not only further deter the violation of a data subject's rights but would also provide a legislative basis for indemnifying the data subject for any damages sustained from such violations. Kind Regards, William.
