Description: The ‘Non-Transferable Rights’ refer to those rights that are inherent to an individual and cannot be ceded or transferred to another person or entity. In the context of privacy and data protection, these rights are fundamental to ensuring that individuals maintain control over their personal information. This includes rights such as access to data, rectification, deletion, and portability of the same. The essence of these rights lies in the idea that personal information is an extension of a person’s identity and, therefore, must be protected in such a way that the individual always has the final say on how it is used and shared. The non-transferability of these rights ensures that, even in a digital environment where information can be easily shared and commercialized, individuals do not lose control over their own information. This is especially relevant in a world where data breaches and misuse of personal information are increasingly common, highlighting the need for legal frameworks and organizational practices that effectively protect these rights.
