I would add that under the Act the data subject is entitled to have
communicated to him a description of the purposes for which the data are
processed. The Directive prefaces the requirements re subject access with
the words "at least".
This suggests the need for caution when taking extracts from documents if
the purposes behind their use is not self evident. It could be argued that
the description the data subject is entitled to is more than a cursory
description, such as 'evidence' and, subject to the third party test,
includes understanding the import and context of the use.
