Article 17 of the 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗚𝗗𝗣𝗥) states that “the data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the 𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮”.

This will concern the implementation of the 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 (also referred to as the 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻) by data controllers.

The aim of this coordinated action will be, among other objectives, to evaluate the implementation of this right in practice. This will be done, for example, by 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 put in place by different controllers to identify the most important issues in complying with this right, but also to get an overview of 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀.   📊 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁? The results of these national actions will then be 𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗱 together to generate deeper insight into the topic and allowing for 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝘂𝗽 on both a national and EU level.   📅 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀?

It is expected that the 𝗘𝗗𝗣𝗕 will issue 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲, which must be adhered to by all data controllers and data processors.   💼 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗣𝗢 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽? Starting in 2025, changes in the guidelines regarding the 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 are expected following the 𝗘𝗗𝗣𝗕'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Organizations will need to ensure they comply with these new regulations. At 𝗗𝗣𝗢 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘆, we are here to help you navigate these changes and ensure your organization remains compliant.

💡 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁: 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁?

This shift in perspective could affect a variety of sectors, including sports clubs and associations that rely on member data for sponsorships and advertising. While the DPA argued that such commercial purposes were not sufficient under the GDPR’s legitimate interest clause, the ECJ’s ruling suggests otherwise. The decision underlines a key issue: 𝗮𝘀 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲, 𝘀𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗹𝗮𝘄𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀. In conclusion, the ECJ has taken a significant step toward recognizing the role of commercial objectives in data protection law. This decision may signal a broader shift where privacy regulations adapt to meet the realities of data-driven business models, providing 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
