The Court of Justice of the European Union held that a data subject’s right of access under Article 15 GDPR includes providing the data in context, such as relevant documents and database extracts. The ruling arose from a complaint against credit reporting agency CRIF after it supplied only a raw data list. The decision emphasizes that a true copy must be an accurate, comprehensible reproduction of the personal data.
Why it matters: The ruling expands the GDPR right of access, requiring controllers to supply contextual information, which strengthens data‑subject rights.
