Summary/Abstract: According to the General Data Protection Regulation, natural persons should have control of their own personal data and the legal and practical certainty for data subjects should be enhanced. Thus, it should be transparent to natural persons that personal data concerning them are collected, used, consulted or otherwise processed. Since the control over the processing is achieved by exercising the rights conferred by the Regulation (EU) 2016/679, knowing about the existence of the processing is a sine qua non condition for the exercise of these rights by the data subjects and implicitly for the control over their own personal data. That’s why this short study aims to examine to what extent the right to be informed about the existence of the processing operations contributes to ensure the effectiveness of the control exercised by the data subjects on the processing.
