Summary/Abstract: The right to access one’s own data is explicitly acknowledged as a fundamental right in Article 8 (2) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU which states that “Everyone has the right of access to data which has been collected concerning him or her, and the right to have it rectified”. Article 12 of the Data Protection Directive also provides that Member States are to guarantee every data subject a right of access to their personal data. Since from 25 May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation shall apply and will replace the current Directive 95/46/EC, this article aims to provide a prima facie presentation of the new configuration of the right of access by the data subject, without overlooking its correlation with the operator’s obligation to keep records of processing activities.
