    where the processing of personal data is necessary for the implementation of legitimate interests of the controller or third party.

  3. Where the request for the implementation of rights of the data subject has been submitted in writing personally, the data subject must confirm their identity by submitting the ID document. Failure to do so will prevent the rights of the data subject from implementation. This provision shall not be applicable in cases where the data subject has requested to provide information on the processing of personal data pursuant to Articles 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) No 2016/679.
  4. Where the request for the implementation of rights of the data subject has been made in writing by post, it shall be accompanied by a copy of ID document approved pursuant to the procedure provided in the legal acts.

  5. The data subject may exercise their rights personally or through a representative. In cases where the request has been submitted by the representative, in consideration of the method of submission thereof, the representative shall submit, along with the aforementioned documents their name, surname, address and/or other contact details for the maintaining of communication or provision of the reply, as well as submit the representation document (or a copy of authorisation approved pursuant to the procedure set out in the legal acts).
  6. Should there be any doubts as to the identity of the data subject, the controller shall request additional information required for the verification thereof. The Service Provider shall use reasonable efforts to verify the identity of the person submitting the request to access the personal data because the respective sanctions may be applicable in case of unlawful disclosure of personal data to third parties.
  7. When submitting a written request for the implementation of rights of the data subject, it is recommended to use the request form provided in Annex 1 to the Rules.

11. EXAMINATION OF THE REQUEST FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT

  1. Having received the request of the data subject, the data subject will be provided with the information about the actions taken with respect of the received request no later than within 1 (one) month as of the receipt of request. In cases of delays in the provision of information, the data subject shall be notified of the same within the indicated period, provided the reasons for delay and informed about the possibility to file a complaint with the State Data Protection Inspectorate.
  2. In cases where the request has been submitted in violation of the procedure and requirements set out in Section 10 of the Rules, it shall not be examined and the data subject shall be notified thereof without delay and in any event within 5 (five) working days indicating the respective reasons thereof.
  3. The controller should be obliged to respond to requests from the data subject without undue delay and at the latest within 1 (one) month and to give reasons where the controller does not intend to comply with any such requests.
  4. This period may be extended by 2 (two) further months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of the requests. In this case, the data subject must be informed of any such extension in writing within 1 (one) month of receipt of the request, together with the reasons for the delay.
  5. If it has been decided not to take action on the request of the data subject, the data subject shall be informed in writing without delay and in any event within (1) one month of receipt of the request of the reasons for not taking action (e.g., the person submitting the request failed to specify their identity) and on the possibility of lodging a complaint with the supervisory authority. The data subject shall be properly informed about the refusal to grant the request.
  6. The data subject shall be notified if in the course of examination of the request it is established that the rights of the data subject are restricted on the grounds provided in Article 23(1) of Regulation (EU) No 2016/679.
  7. Information about the processing of personal data requested by the data subject shall be submitted in the same form as the received request of the data subject (unless otherwise requested by the data subject), i.e. if the request has been submitted by electronic means (e.g., by e-mail), the information shall be provided in a commonly used electronic form. Information according to the request for the implementation of rights of the data subject shall be submitted in the national language.
  8. Information and notifications shall be submitted and other actions related to the implementation of rights of the data subjects shall be carried out free of charge, except in cases where requests of the data subject are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, and in such case the Service Provider may charge a reasonable fee for the provision of information or submission of a notification, or the performance of requested actions (in this case, the data subject shall be informed about the amount of set remuneration (for example, the provision of a CD, DVD or other drive containing a copy of the video recording, preparation of documents, etc.) and the payment procedure for the submission of data) or refuse to act on the request. Fee amount shall not exceed the amount of costs of provision of information or notification, or performance of actions. The Service Provider shall set and approve the fee amount in consideration of labour and material costs required for the provision of information or notification or the performance of actions.
  9. Assessment shall be made in each separate case if the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. In cases where the request of the data subject is manifestly unfounded or excessive the Service Provider shall bear the burden of demonstrating the same.
  10. In cases where the Service Provider processes a very large amount of personal data, the request for the provision of information about all processed personal data for the entire processing period may be considered excessive. Nevertheless, even if a request of excessive nature has been received, first it is recommended to ask the data subject to specify it by indicating the reason why the data subject needs to obtain such a large amount of information, and in the absence of such reason, to narrow down the scope of requested personal data.
  11. A complaint with regard to actions or inaction of the Service Provider in the process of implementation of rights of the data subject may be filed with the State Data Protection Inspectorate, A. Juozapavičiaus g. 6, Vilnius, e-mail [email protected], website www.ada.lt, or a competent court by the data subject themselves or the representative thereof, as well as by a non-profit institution, organisation or association authorised by the data subject complying with the requirements of Article 80 of Regulation (EU) No 2016/679.
  12. Should the data subject incur any material or non-material damage due to the infringement of rights of the data subject, the data subject shall have the right to a compensation and may claim it by bringing court action in the court competent to settle such disputes.
