Right to Restrict Processing

Rather than fully erasing data, an Irish resident may want to o CLAS1; CLAS1; FLT: 0 CLAS3; CLAS3; CLAS3; restrict procesing CLAS1; CLAS1; CLAS1; CLAS1; CLASSI1; CLASSI1; CLASSI1; CLASSI1; CLASSI1; CLASSI1; CLASSI1; CLASSI1; CLASSIONS means permission. This means rightt is avalable wn:

Te descrip1; FLT: 0 pplk. 3; rightt to data portability p1; FLT: 1 pplk. 3; is designed to o empower users to mo move, copy, or transfer their personal data easil from one service provider to another.
