- if possible, the 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 request should have been fulfilled

Appeal to the 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 due to the potential violation of your right to access your data. You can learn more about how to prepare your application and other requirements in the Law on Administrative Proceedings.
The regional administrative court will assess whether the subject has acted lawfully and, if necessary, may oblige the State Data Protection Inspectorate to order the subject to provide access to information regarding your personal data. The court may also order compensation if you have requested it.
