Description

Procedural clarification filing to CERN Office of Data Privacy (ODP) on Ticket RQF3807508 (Right to Access, filed 24 June 2026), responding to DPO Gabi's reply of 8 July 2026. Raises four narrow, dispositive procedural questions: (1) what identity verification pathway exists for a data subject who does not possess a passport (already stated on-record 25 June 2026); (2) whether an ID document showing a name other than the account-authorial identity is sufficient to establish receivability, or whether additional linkage evidence is required (forces disambiguation of Gabi's current position); (3) specific written answers to the seven questions from the 24 June 2026 reply concerning any ID-document processing CERN might insist upon (fields visible, redaction, retention-vs-verification, access, retention period, deletion procedure, verification fact not established by account-chain, lawful basis); (4) whether the Office considers itself in a position of independence sufficient to adjudicate the receivability of RQF3807508 and its companion RQF3826921 (Right to Object, filed 4 July 2026), given the substantive scope of both filings includes records concerning, or processing involving, the Office's own review/oversight/advisory role. All substantive matters โ€” including ยง29.5 proportionality and the structural objection that pseudonymous data subjects must convert to civil identity to exercise rights over pseudonymous data โ€” are explicitly reserved for later filings. Cross-references #868 (CHA audit), #1045 (Zenodo Removal Census population data), and AXN:03C0 (DPC referral).
