The EPPO shall inform the data subject in writing of any refusal of rectification or erasure of operational personal data or restriction of processing and of the reasons for the refusal. The EPPO may restrict, wholly or partly, the obligation to provide such information to the extent that such a restriction constitutes a necessary and proportionate measure in a democratic society with due regard for the fundamental rights and legitimate interests of the natural person 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 of the Member States of the European Union; protect national security of the Member States of the European Union; protect the rights and freedoms of others. The EPPO shall inform the data subject of the possibility of lodging a complaint with the European Data Protection Supervisor or of seeking a judicial remedy from the Court of Justice against the EPPO’s decision.
