Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
GDPR also gives the right for consumers to claim compensation from companies and/or organizations in case the GDPR was breached.
Article 15 of the GDPR grants data subjects the right to obtain access to the personally identifiable material that’s been collected about them. This includes: the categories of data being processed, the purpose of processing and the recipients of those data, or whether automatic decision-making process has been involved.
Moreover, Article 17 of the GDPR dictates that data subjects have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay.
