- Open questions
- When is a request for access 'manifestly unfounded or excessive' under Article 12(5) of the GDPR, so that an Estonian controller may refuse it or charge a fee, when the Inspectorate's page speaks of a request that is 'not justified' and of an excessive cost on repeated requests?
What it makes you log
Logging duty
Articles 12 to 21 set how a controller answers an access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability or objection request. They state no duty to create, keep or produce a log or record of the request or the answer. The Act's logging and record duties in Sections 36, 37, 44(6) and 50 sit in Chapter 4, which governs law-enforcement authorities and does not address these rights.

What this law does
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Articles 12 to 21 apply directly: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, exercisable against the controller. The public sector's access right is distinctively implemented as unified infrastructure through RIA's Data Tracker service, letting a citizen see which public-sector systems have processed their data in one place rather than requesting this separately from each controller.
