Judgment_paragraph 82 · ZQ v Medizinischer Dienst der Krankenversicherung Nordrhein, Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts (C-667/21)

82The Court has interpreted that provision as meaning that a mere infringement of the GDPR is not sufficient to confer a right to compensation, after pointing out, inter alia, that the existence of ‘damage’ which has been ‘suffered’ constitutes one of the conditions for the right to compensation laid down in Article 82(1), as does the existence of an infringement of that regulation and of a causal link between that damage and that infringement, those three conditions being cumulative (see, to that effect, judgment of 4 May 2023, Österreichische Post (Non-material damage in connection with the processing of personal data), C‑300/21, EU:C:2023:370, paragraphs 32 and 42).
