Can sharing data with regulatory authorities violate "do not process" requests?

Sharing data with regulatory authorities may not violate "do not process" requests as it can be permitted under certain conditions. In many jurisdictions, laws and regulations often grant authorities the right to access certain data for compliance, investigation, or enforcement purposes.

When a "do not process" request is submitted, it typically applies to specific types of processing for marketing or other non-essential activities. However, legal obligations may override these requests when it comes to ensuring that organizations comply with regulations designed to protect public interest, security, or health.

Examples include situations where financial institutions might need to provide information to regulatory bodies to prevent money laundering or where healthcare organizations must share patient data for public health monitoring and safety. These exceptions help maintain lawful practices and ensure that regulatory authorities can fulfill their responsibilities effectively without infringing on the integrity of the privacy request as long as they are based on legitimate legal grounds.
