Artikel 77 Rätt att lämna in klagomål till en tillsynsmyndighet


Summary What does Article 77 of the GDPR regulation say?

This article establishes the right of data subjects to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority when they believe their personal data has been processed in a way that infringes the GDPR.

It is a key enforcement-facing right for individuals, sitting within the broader framework of data subject remedies.

Importantly, this right exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, meaning it does not replace or limit other avenues available to the data subject.

The article also places an obligation on the supervisory authority to keep the complainant informed throughout the process.

Important points:

  • Data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.
  • This right exists alongside, and does not replace, any other administrative or judicial remedy available to the data subject.
  • Supervisory authorities are required to inform the complainant of the progress and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78.

Springlex's summary of the article is a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

    1. Utan att det påverkar något annat administrativt prövningsförfarande eller rättsmedel, ska varje registrerad som anser att behandlingen av personuppgifter som avser henne eller honom strider mot denna förordning ha rätt att lämna in ett klagomål till en tillsynsmyndighet, särskilt i den medlemsstat där han eller hon har sin hemvist eller sin arbetsplats eller där det påstådda intrånget begicks.

    1. Den tillsynsmyndighet till vilken klagomålet har ingetts ska underrätta den enskilde om hur arbetet med klagomålet fortskrider och vad resultatet blir, inbegripet möjligheten till rättslig prövning enligt artikel 78.
