Recital 58
(58) Ceanglaítear le prionsabal na trédhearcachta gur cheart é a bheith éasca rochtain a fháil ar aon fhaisnéis atá dírithe ar an bpobal nó ar an ábhar sonraí, gur cheart don fhaisnéis sin a bheith gonta agus éasca a thuiscint agus gur cheart í a bheith i dteanga shoiléir shimplí agus, sa bhreis air sin, gur cheart úsáid a bhaint as léirshamhlú, i gcás inarb ábhartha.
D’fhéadfaí faisnéis den sórt sin a chur ar fáil i bhfoirm leictreonach, mar shampla, agus í dírithe ar an bpobal, trí shuíomh gréasáin.
Tá ábharthacht ar leith ag baint leis sin i staideanna ina bhfágann iomadú na ngníomhaithe agus castacht theicneolaíoch an chleachtais nach éasca don ábhar sonraí a bheith ar an eolas faoi cibé an bhfuil sonraí pearsanta a bhaineann leis nó léi á mbailiú, faoi cé atá á mbailiú agus faoi cad chuige a bhfuil siad á mbailiú, agus nach éasca dó nó di an méid sin a thuiscint, amhail i gcás fógraíocht ar líne.
Toisc go bhfuil cosaint ar leith dlite do leanaí, ba cheart aon fhaisnéis agus cumarsáid maidir le próiseáil a bhaineann le leanbh a thabhairt i dteanga shoiléir shimplí le go bhféadfaidh an leanbh í a thuiscint go héasca.
(58) The principle of transparency requires that any information addressed to the public or to the data subject be concise, easily accessible and easy to understand, and that clear and plain language and, additionally, where appropriate, visualisation be used.
Such information could be provided in electronic form, for example, when addressed to the public, through a website.
This is of particular relevance in situations where the proliferation of actors and the technological complexity of practice make it difficult for the data subject to know and understand whether, by whom and for what purpose personal data relating to him or her are being collected, such as in the case of online advertising.
Given that children merit specific protection, any information and communication, where processing is addressed to a child, should be in such a clear and plain language that the child can easily understand.
