Art.18 — Right to restriction of processing

Requirement

Data subjects may obtain restriction of processing while accuracy is contested, where processing is unlawful but erasure is opposed, where the controller no longer needs the data but the data subject needs it for legal claims, or pending verification of an objection; restricted data may then only be stored, and the data subject must be told before a restriction is lifted.

What the engine looks for

Every group below must be satisfied — by an affirmative statement, not a plan, a hedge or a denial — for the control to count as covered. A term ending in … matches any word it begins. Supporting terms do not change the verdict — they raise confidence and distinguish a policy that names a mechanism from one that gestures at a category.

Equivalent controls elsewhere

Matched on shared topics. Satisfying this control usually moves these too.
