Right of access, rectification of inaccurate data and erasure of unlawfully stored data A Member State shall take a decision not to provide information to the data subject, in whole or in part, in accordance with national law, to the extent that, and for as long as such a partial or complete restriction constitutes a necessary and proportionate measure in a democratic society with due regard for the fundamental rights and legitimate interests of the data subject concerned, in order to: avoid obstructing official or legal inquiries, investigations or procedures; avoid prejudicing the prevention, detection, investigation or prosecution of criminal offences or the execution of criminal penalties; protect public security; protect national security; or protect the rights and freedoms of others.

In cases referred to in the first subparagraph, the Member State shall inform the data subject in writing, without undue delay, of any refusal or restriction of access and of the reasons for the refusal or restriction. Such information may be omitted where its provision would undermine any of the reasons set out in points (a) to (e) of the first subparagraph. The Member State shall inform the data subject of the possibility of lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority or of seeking a judicial remedy. The Member State shall document the factual or legal reasons on which the decision not to provide information to the data subject is based. That information shall be made available to the supervisory authorities. For such cases, the data subject shall also be able to exercise his or her rights through the competent supervisory authorities.
