General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Articles 15 to 21 apply directly in Denmark: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, generally exercisable against the controller within one month. Article 22 gives a qualified right against a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects, applied in Denmark through the Databeskyttelsesloven. No Danish derogation narrowing these rights was confirmed against the Act's own text.
