Open questions
Does the Office's position that the right of access under Article 15 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 does not give access to documents stand after the Court of Justice held in Case C-487/21 that a copy of extracts or whole documents can be required where essential?

What it makes you log

Logging duty

Articles 12 to 21 set how and when a controller answers a rights request. They state no duty to create, keep or produce a log or record of the request or the answer. Section 11 of Act No. 110/2019 Sb. lets a controller apply the rights proportionately or postpone compliance to protect a listed interest and has it notify the Office for Personal Data Protection; that is a notification and the section creates no record duty.

Under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Articles 12 to 21, a person in the Czech Republic can ask a controller for access to their personal data and for its rectification, erasure, restriction or portability, or object to its processing, and the controller must answer within one month, a period it may extend by two further months for complex or numerous requests.

Section 11 of Act No. 110/2019 Sb. lets a controller apply the rights in GDPR Articles 12 to 22 proportionately, or postpone compliance, where necessary and proportionate to protect an interest listed in Section 6(2), including the rights and freedoms of others and the enforcement of a private-law claim; the controller must notify the Office for Personal Data Protection of such a restriction without undue delay.
