Open questions
  • May a controller rely on Article 41(1) of the UAVG to set aside a data subject's rights under GDPR Articles 12 to 21, given the AP's statement that it will not honor a controller's reliance on Article 41 in complaint proceedings because the article does not meet the requirements of GDPR Article 23?
  • Does processing carried out for journalism and also for a commercial purpose count as processing 'voor uitsluitend journalistieke doeleinden' (for exclusively journalistic purposes) under Article 43 of the UAVG, so that GDPR Chapter III does not apply?

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. UAVG Article 41 lets a controller set the rights aside where necessary and proportionate, and Article 43 disapplies Chapter III of the GDPR for journalism and academic, artistic or literary expression; neither adds a record duty.

Research summary

Legal information, not legal advice. This is LexLint's own research summary of a public legal source, and it creates no attorney-client relationship. For decisions that matter, consult qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction. About LexLint

Under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Articles 12 to 21, a person in the Netherlands 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.

UAVG Article 41(1) lets a controller set these rights aside, so far as necessary and proportionate, on listed grounds; two reach an ordinary private controller: protecting the person or the rights and freedoms of others, and enforcing a civil-law claim.

UAVG Article 43 disapplies Chapter III of the GDPR, which holds the data-subject rights, together with Chapters V to VII and most of Chapter IV, for processing carried out exclusively for journalism or for academic, artistic or literary expression.
