French term

mise en œuvre des droits

French to English Law/Patents Law (general) GDPR
This document sets out a company's responsibilities and their customers' rights with regard to the processing of data.

One section entitled "Mise en œuvre des droits des Utilisateurs" states that, in accordance with the GDPR, Users may update, amend or delete their data, or request to access their data or have it deleted or updated.

Can anyone say whether "mettre en œuvre" can have the sense of "exercise" in the context of rights? This seems more natural here, but I do not have access to my usual dictionaries to confirm!

ph-b (X) Apr 9, 2020:
Thomas, Thanks for letting us know. Any reason why the author(s) didn't use exercice des droits ?
Thomas Miles (asker) Apr 9, 2020:
Dear all I would like to thank you all for your suggestions and input. In the end, I went for a solution based on 'exercising', more because this functioned most appropriately as a header of that section rather than the exact meaning of "mise en œuvre".
philgoddard Apr 7, 2020:
If this document is intended for customers, I would use "you".
Thomas Miles (asker) Apr 7, 2020:
Furthe context: In the section concerned, a variant of the term appears:

"[les Utilisateurs] peuvent exercer leur droit d'accès, pour connaître les Données personnelles les concernant. Dans ce cas, avant la mise en œuvre de ce droit, [entreprise X] peut demander une preuve de l'identité de la personne afin d'en vérifier l'exactitude".
Thomas Miles (asker) Apr 7, 2020:
Josephine: The term in question is within the header "Mise en œuvre des droits des Utilisateurs".

The following paragraph starts "En application de la réglementation applicable aux Données à caractère personnel les Utilisateurs peuvent mettre à jour, modifier ou supprimer les Données ..."
Josephine Cassar Apr 7, 2020:
@ Asker Can you provide the sentence where it occurs please? Just giving the phrase you have trouble with is not enough. We need to know how and where it's been used to help out. Exercer mes droits is 'claim my rights' but you asked about mise en oeuvres des droits-respect consumer rights
Thomas Miles (asker) Apr 7, 2020:
Additional context The declaration by the User at the start of the text adds weight to an interpretation as "exercise": "je pourrai à tout moment retirer mon consentement ou exercer mes droits".

How users can exercise their rights

'Execute' is also widely used, as I suggested, but 'exercise' is more common.
Note from asker:
The User is indeed the subject of the sentences under this heading.

agree Germaine : Exactly. The KISS principle!

Thanks.
agree SafeTex : As long as the user/users is/are the subject of the sentence, then this is fine

asserting (assertion) of rights

Assertion would be more 'natural' than enforcement, exercise or implementation of rights for users and, to use a 'relay' or bridging language technique, would square in DEU with 'Geltendmachung von Rechten'.
Example sentence:

Facilitating Access to Knowledge by Asserting Users' Rights.

Note from asker:
Thank you Adrian - I myself sometimes 'triangulate' FR-EN translations with another language!
Peer comment(s):
disagree Eliza Hall : Assertion of rights is bringing a claim to force someone else to respect your rights. That's not the issue here.

Wrong way round, again. Look at the fly leaf of EN/AM books: 'The moral right of paternity is the (*asserted*) right of an author to be identified .....' www.societyofauthors.org/News/Blogs/Before-you-Sign/Februar...
neutral SafeTex : this is not my first choice but it did NOT deserve a disagree either.
20 hrs
Fair enough, but it was I who, without being credited, also proposed enforcement and implementation as viable alternatives
neutral Josephine Cassar : With SafeTex/Adrian, I meant your answer did not merit a Disagree.

Maybe comment instead on the asker's pick of his own answer. //Thx. The disagreer and dissenter has still - yet again - learned something about the term of 'assertion of rights' in a literary and legal context.

Safeguarding clients' rights

Another suggestion. After getting the whole context, I think this can stand as a header too. It is not literal but fits as your text then goes on to explain that clients can then update, delete, etc

After the last posting in discussion, I think 'safeguarding' or even 'respecting' works well here. Granting or Conceding would be condescending

Thank you Jospehine. I see you have thought about the intended meaning that is ultimately behind this term!

agree AllegroTrans : Yes this also works

Thanks
agree ph-b (X) : The translation must reflect the company's perspective, not the clients'/users'

Thanks and exactly-from the company's perspective as it is the one informing them, setting the measures

implementation of (clients') rights


I read this as a title summarising what the company commits to do (organise itself to make sure that rights can be exercised), followed by a paragraph describing what steps the company will take so that clients can exercise their rights (i.e. so that "Users may...", as you say).



--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 1 day 36 mins (2020-04-08 07:55:52 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

This is written from the company's perspective, not the clients'/users': mettre en œuvre des droits refers to what the company must do so that all conditions are met by the company for those rights to be exercised. This point of view has to be reflected in the translation.

Using the gerund would work too as a title: "Implementing clients'/users' rights".
Note from asker:
Thank you ph-b. This is clearly the default translation, but I wanted to check whether this is not too simplistic!
Peer comment(s):
agree Danielle Coleman : From the information provided, this seems the more likely interpretation to me too. In other words, 'mise en oeuvre' is what the company is doing, not what the clients are doing, as I see it.

agree Josephine Cassar : Agree with Danielle, that's why the phrase where this occurs should be included when posting and asking

neutral Julie Barber : I know that it is correct in its meaning but think that "application" would be more common in a contract. Implementation sounds like the initial set up/ sorry my mistake rushing past with pandemic multitasking. Still not sure about this. Thanks

Thks. Is it a contract? Thomas says it's a policy doc setting out the company's obligations/procedures, etc., which is why I believe it is the company's perspective - not the clients'/users' - that must be reflected in the translation.
agree Eliza Hall : Exactly.
