Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Personal data must be accurate, fit for purpose and up to date. This means that organisations should regularly review information held about individuals and delete or amend inaccurate information accordingly. Individuals have the right to request that inaccurate or incomplete data be erased or rectified within 30 days. This streamlining of information will help improve compliance and ensure business databases are accurate and up to date.Discussion
