122: Purposes of register

You could also call this:

“The register helps you find out who can ask for and share customer data”

The register helps you and others to check if someone is a data holder or an accredited requestor. You can use it to find out important details about these people or groups. If you’re a data holder or an accredited requestor, you can also use the register to learn about each other. The register is there to help anyone who needs to use this information as part of their job or duties under this law or any other laws.
