Frequently Asked Questions

Any individual whose personal data is being processed, can submit a complaint under Article 77 of the GDPR if they believe their rights under the GDPR have been infringed upon. It's not exclusive to European citizens. However, the infringement must be in relation to personal data processing activities that fall within the scope of the GDPR, such as when an organization based outside the EU is processing data of an individual inside the EU.

The process for submitting a complaint varies slightly between different DPAs but typically involves submitting a written complaint that describes the nature of the alleged GDPR violation. Some DPAs have online forms that individuals can use to lodge their complaints. In general, the complaint should include:

  • Full contact details of the individual submitting the complaint.
  • The name and contact details of the organization they are complaining about.
  • A detailed description of the alleged GDPR violation, including any evidence to support the claim.
  • If applicable, any steps that have been taken to resolve the issue directly with the organization.

Complaints should be lodged with the DPA in the EU member state where the individual resides, works, or where the alleged infringement occurred. For instance, if a French citizen believes their data has been misused by a company based in Ireland, they can lodge their complaint with either the French or Irish DPA.
