Assistance with Data-Subject Rights

The clause obliging the processor to help the controller answer data-subject requests such as access and erasure.

What the clause requires

The processor must assist the controller in responding to data-subject rights requests (access, erasure, etc.).

Why a GDPR DPA needs it

Risk if it is missing

The controller may be unable to meet statutory response deadlines for data-subject requests.
