73Lastly, regarding the objectives pursued by Article 15 of the GDPR, the purpose of that regulation is to strengthen and set out in detail the rights of data subjects. Thus, the right of access provided for in that provision must enable the data subject to ensure that the personal data relating to him or her are correct and that they are processed in a lawful manner. Furthermore, the copy of the personal data undergoing processing, which the controller must provide pursuant to the first sentence of Article 15(3) of the GDPR, must have all the characteristics necessary for the data subject effectively to exercise his or her rights under that regulation and must, consequently, reproduce those data fully and faithfully (judgment of 4 May 2023, Österreichische Datenschutzbehörde and CRIF, C‑487/21, EU:C:2023:369, paragraphs 33, 34 and 39).
