Right of Access

Right of access - The right of access is the right for any data subject to obtain from the controller of a processing [index] operation the confirmation that data related to him/her are being processed, the purpose(s) for which they are processed, as well as the logic involved in any automated decision process concerning him or her.

This right also allows the data subject to receive communication in an intelligible form of the data undergoing processing and of information regarding the processing.

This right can be exercised without constraint, at any time within three months from the receipt of the request, and is free of charge (Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001).
