After a personal-data breach linked to a GDPR infringement, a data subject seeks compensation for anxiety and distress without proving financial loss. Which statement best matches GDPR compensation rights?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Hurt feelings and sleepless nights can still count—GDPR isn't only about empty wallets. Material and non-material damage from an infringement can ground a compensation claim.
Full Explanation
Article 82 provides a right to compensation for damage suffered as a result of an infringement of the GDPR, covering both material and non-material damage. Requiring only televised apologies or denying non-material harm altogether misstates that right. US treble-damage models are not the GDPR framework.
