The first step: collection of personal data and other information  Title:
THE PRINCIPLES, RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF DATA PROTECTION LAW
 .A. The obligations of the data controller

 

The principles, rights and obligations of data protection law

The basic principles of data protection legislation are spelled out in international texts from OECD, Council of Europe, UN and the E.U. Each of these organisations produced classic basic data protection instruments, respectively the OECD Guidelines, the Treaty 108, the UN Guidelines and the Data Protection Directives. The EU also included the right to data protection in the European Charter of Fundamental Rights.

EU Data Protection Directive 95/46 aims to reconcile the free flow of personal data between the Member States with the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals, notably the right to privacy with regard to the processing of such data. It contains the main principles that relate to data protection. The principles are implemented by two types of legal tools: Obligations for data controllers on the one hand and rights conferred to the individuals on the other hand.
