Learn what a notified database is, why it's important and how it supports transparency and data protection under legitimate interest.
This article explains how notifying individuals about data processing supports transparency and compliance.
It outlines how Cognism ensures data subjects are informed, helping them understand how their data is used and how to exercise their rights.
What is a notified database?
A notified database refers to personal data processed in a way that ensures data subjects are informed of that processing.
This means individuals are made aware that Cognism holds their data, why it is held, and how they can exercise their data protection rights.
Why is having a notified database important?
When collecting and processing personal data under the lawful basis of legitimate interest, data subjects must be informed that their data is being processed.
This notification allows data subjects to:
- Understand how their data is used
- Exercise their rights, including the right to opt out
- Contact the data provider with questions or requests
Maintaining a notified database supports transparency and helps meet data protection obligations.
