After a controller ignores a valid access request, the data subject wants to escalate. What path does GDPR expressly support?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When the controller ghosted your access request, you are not stuck yelling into the void. You can take it to the supervisory authority—the privacy regulator in your corner. That complaint path is a core GDPR safety valve.
Full Explanation
Articles 12–15 require controllers to handle access requests properly, and Article 77 gives every data subject the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if they consider processing infringes the GDPR. Ignored access requests are a classic trigger for that escalation, alongside possible judicial remedies.
