EU Court rules on GDPR right to obtain a first copy of personal data processed free of charge
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG), any person has the right to ask a processor of personal data to provide access to the personal data relating to him that are being processed. To this end, the data subject may submit a request to the processor. The data subject has the right to obtain an initial copy of his or her processed personal data from the processor free of charge. The data subject does not have to justify his or her request, and may make that request for purposes other than those related to data protection. This is the EU Court's answer to questions raised by a German court. (Machine translated)
