Summary/Abstract: Examining the definition and implications of personal data, particularly geolocation under GDPR, the text explores interpretations and questions related to the right of access. It emphasizes the significance of Article 15 and the absence of requirements regarding the form of the access request. The case of Virgin Telco vs. NOYB highlights discrepancies in interpretations, with the Audiencia Nacional confirming the personal nature of geolocation data. While the verdict marks a victory for individual rights, it underscores challenges posed by GPS technology in the future.
