noyb lodged a complaint with the Austrian data protection authority alleging that KSV1870 charges €43 for a data‑access service that must be provided free of charge under Article 15 GDPR. The organization allegedly uses misleading website design to steer users toward the paid “InfoPass” and delays free requests up to 30 days. The practice targets foreign applicants who need proof of solvency for Austrian visas.
Why it matters: The complaint highlights a breach of GDPR’s free‑of‑charge right of access, exposing consumers to unnecessary fees and potential large‑scale harm.
