How to get your data rectified, updated or removed.
Request
You have the right to ask to update, rectify or delete private information collected about you.
There is no specific form for such requests. You can write a free form letter or an email to the subject that is processing your data.
In your request you should:
- indicate the kind of data that you want to update, rectify or delete
- provide the correct data or list why you think the data needs to be updated or rectified
Appeal to the State Data Protection Inspectorate
If your request was refused, you have the right to appeal to the State Data Protection Inspectorate.
In your application, you should provide:
- the kind of action that you expect from the subject that refused your request
- 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
- the 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 due to the potential violation of your right to update, rectify or delete 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 update, rectify or delete your personal data. The court may also order compensation if you have requested it.
