Data Protection Act Map: Key Branches Explained
A data protection act mind map organises the law around a few central ideas. The Act sets out principles for handling personal data, gives individuals rights over their information, and places duties on organisations that process it. A good map shows how these three parts connect, so you can see which obligation links to which right and where enforcement fits in.
- Principles: lawfulness, fairness, purpose limitation, data minimisation and accuracy
- Data subject rights: access, rectification, erasure and objection
- Controller and processor duties: accountability, security and record keeping
- Lawful bases: consent, contract, legal obligation and legitimate interests
- Enforcement: the regulator's powers, complaints and penalties
Use the map to revise the Act before an exam or to check compliance for a project. Then create a personalised map from your own notes with CogniGuide to see exactly how your course material is structured.
