Judgment_paragraph 14 · VX and AT v Gemeinde Ummendorf (C-456/22)

14As the Court has pointed out, it is clear from the wording of Article 82(1) of the GDPR that the existence of ‘damage’ which has been ‘suffered’ constitutes one of the conditions for the right to compensation laid down in that provision, 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 (judgments of 4 May 2023, Österreichische Post (Non-material damage in connection with the processing of personal data), C‑300/21, EU:C:2023:370, paragraph 32, and of today, Natsionalna agentsia za prihodite, C‑340/21, paragraph 77). It follows that those three conditions are necessary and sufficient in order to have a right to compensation within the meaning of that provision.
