Judgment_paragraph 31 · FT v DW (C-307/22)

31Regarding, first, the wording of the relevant provisions, it should be noted that Article 12(5) of the GDPR establishes the principle that the exercise of the data subject’s right of access to his or her data undergoing processing and to the information relating thereto is not to entail any cost for the data subject. Furthermore, that provision envisages two reasons why a controller may either charge a reasonable fee taking into account administrative costs or refuse to act on a request. Those reasons relate to instances of abuses of rights, in which the data subject’s requests are ‘manifestly unfounded’ or ‘excessive’, in particular because of their repetitive character.
