Protection of Personal Information

   Section 25 Subject to Section 14 and Section 15, a person shall have the right to get access to personal information relating to him. When such person makes a request in writing, the State agency in control of such information shall allow him or his authorized representative to inspect or obtain a copy of the same, and Section 9 paragraph two and paragraph three shall apply mutatis mutandis.



   In the case where there exists a reasonable ground to disclose a medical report relating to any person, State officials may disclose it only to doctors entrusted by such person.

 

   A person who considers that any part of personal information relating to him is incorrect shall have the right to make a request in writing to the State agency in control of such information to correct, alter or delete that part of information. The State agency shall consider the request and notify its result to such person without delay.

 

   In the case where the State agency fails to correct, alter or delete the information pursuant to the request, such person shall have the right to appeal to the Information Disclosure Tribunal within thirty days as from the date of the receipt of the notification of the order refusing to correct, alter or delete the same. The appeal shall be submitted through the Board and, in any case, the person who is the subject of the information shall have the right to require the State official to attach his request to the relevant part of the information.

 

   Such persons as specified in the Ministerial Regulations shall have the right to take action under Section 23, Section 24 and this Section on behalf of a minor, an incompetent person, a quasi-incompetent person or the deceased person who was the subject of the information.
