Article 13 - Information to be provided where personal data are collected from the data subject

Article 13 of the GDPR requires controllers to give data subjects clear, concise information when personal data are collected directly from them, covering the identity and contact details of the controller, purposes of processing, legal basis, data retention periods, rights of the individual, and any transfers to third countries. The provision ensures transparency at the point of collection and enables subjects to make informed decisions about their data.
