    If a customer asks what data we have about them, what exactly do we need to provide?

    Short Answer

    You must provide a clear, non-technical summary of all personal data being processed and its purpose.

    Answer

    You must provide a clear summary of personal data being processed, along with the purpose and how it is used. This should be understandable, not technical.

    This requires businesses to maintain a centralized data view, otherwise responding becomes operationally difficult.

    Law Reference

    Section 11 – Right to Access Information

    Business Impact

    Without a centralized data view across systems, responding to access requests becomes operationally impossible and risks regulatory action.

    Real-World Example

    A customer of a fashion brand requests their data. The brand must provide a summary showing name, email, purchase history, loyalty points, and marketing preferences from their CRM.
