Data access request (GDPR)

Rechtab 9 J.
Every company must tell you within 30 days what data it holds about you. Free of charge. Here's how to make the request and what you can do with it.

Your right of access under Art. 15 GDPR (German: DSGVO):

What you can ask:

• What personal data does the company hold about me?
• For what purpose is it processed?
• Who has it been passed on to?
• How long will it be stored?

How to make the request:

1. Email the company's data protection officer (listed in the legal notice or privacy policy)
2. Subject: "Request for access under Art. 15 GDPR"
3. Give your name and identification (e.g. email address, customer number)
4. Deadline: 30 days – the company MUST reply within one month

What you can do with the information:

✅ Have incorrect data corrected (Art. 16 GDPR)
✅ Demand deletion (Art. 17 GDPR – "right to be forgotten")
✅ Restrict processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
✅ Lodge a complaint with the data protection authority

Did you know? You can also send a GDPR access request to Google, Facebook, Amazon and co. The amount of data these companies hold about you is often shocking.
