Any data subject wishing to exercise the right to rectification or erasure of personal data or of restriction of processing of personal data that relate to him or her referred to in Article 82 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 may make a request to that effect, through the authority appointed for that purpose in the Member State of his or her choice, or to Europol.

————— 3. Without prejudice to Article 82(3) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, Europol shall restrict the processing of personal data rather than erase personal data if there are reasonable grounds to believe that erasure could affect the legitimate interests of the data subject. Restricted data shall be processed only for the purpose of protecting the rights of the data subject, where it is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another person, or for the purposes laid down in Article 82(3) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725.

4. Where personal data referred to in paragraphs 1 and 3 held by Europol have been provided to it by third countries, international organisations or Union bodies, have been directly provided by private parties, have been retrieved by Europol from publicly available sources or result from Europol’s own analyses, Europol shall rectify or erase such data or restrict their processing and, where appropriate, inform the providers of the data.

5. Where personal data referred to in paragraphs 1 and 3 held by Europol have been provided to Europol by Member States, the Member States concerned shall rectify or erase such data or restrict their processing in cooperation with Europol, within their respective competences.

6. If incorrect personal data have been transferred by another appropriate means or if the errors in the data provided by Member States are due to faulty transfer or transfer in breach of this Regulation or if they result from data being input, taken over or stored in an incorrect manner or in breach of this Regulation by Europol, Europol shall rectify or erase such data in collaboration with the provider of the data concerned.

7. In the cases referred to in paragraphs 4, 5 and 6, all addressees of the data concerned shall be notified forthwith. In accordance with the rules applicable to them, the addressees shall then rectify, erase or restrict those data in their systems.
