Short Explanation
Wrong address in the benefits file? That's a 'please fix my record' moment—the right to rectification. Controllers shouldn't leave known inaccuracies sitting there like a typo carved in stone. Update it without dragging feet.

Article 16 provides the right to obtain rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning the data subject, and completion of incomplete data, without undue delay.
