French term or phrase: mise en œuvre des droits

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!

asserting (assertion) of rights

Explanation:
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(s):

Facilitating Access to Knowledge by Asserting Users' Rights.

Asker: Thank you Adrian - I myself sometimes 'triangulate' FR-EN translations with another language!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)

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

Explanation:
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

Asker: The User is indeed the subject of the sentences under this heading.

implementation of (clients') rights

Explanation:

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).

--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------

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".

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thank you ph-b. This is clearly the default translation, but I wanted to check whether this is not too simplistic!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)

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.

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

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

8 hrs

-> 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.
