How to get your data rectified, updated or removed?
Request to your employer
You have the right to ask your employer to update, rectify or delete private information collected about you.
Appeal to State Data Protection Inspectorate
If the employer refuses to do so, you have the right to appeal to the State Data Protection Inspectorate. Your right to request such action plays an especially significant role where you are about to leave your job and thus will no longer be connected with the particular institution.
In your application, you should indicate:
- the kind of action that you expect from your employer
- if possible, relevant legal provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation or the Law on Legal Protection of Personal Data which have been violated
- arguments as to why your employer should have fulfilled your request
- and include relevant documents that substantiate your opinion, if there are any
Appeal to Administrative court
If you are not satisfied with the decision taken by the State Data Protection Inspectorate, you can challenge the decision in a regional administrative court and in addition, ask for compensation. You can learn more about how to prepare your application and other requirements as well in the Law on Administrative Proceedings.
The regional administrative court will assess whether your employer has acted lawfully and, if necessary, may oblige the State Data Protection Inspectorate to order your employer to update, rectify or delete your information. The court may also order compensation if you have requested it.
