The Austrian Data Protection Authority issued a decision ordering YouTube (Google) to provide the complainant with full access to his personal data, including purpose, storage periods, recipients and tracking cookies, under Article 15 GDPR. The authority gave Google four weeks to comply and noted the company had previously delayed the request for over five years. The decision reinforces that access requests must be answered in full and in an easily accessible form.
Why it matters: The ruling sets a clear precedent that EU controllers must fully honor GDPR data‑subject access requests without undue delay.
