    Please clarify the accuracy principle with regard to the obligations
    of the data controller/data processor. For example, is this
    principle directed at protecting third parties from the provision of
    inaxccurate data by the data subject or at protecting the data
    subject against incorrect processing by the processor/controller?
    Does the principle provide for an obligation of the data
    processor/controller to verify the accuracy of the data provided by
    the data subject and make corrections without input from the data
