Data protection allegations may come from individuals, associations or competitors. Supervisory proceedings are separate, and the legal basis and available powers differ.
What we examine
- Identify the sender, standing and specific processing involved.
- Compare the legal basis, information duties, consent and actual technical operation.
- Assess injunctions, access requests and damages separately.
Key legal considerations
A supervisory authority’s objection is not a private unfair competition warning. An alleged GDPR breach does not automatically establish a damages claim. Cookies and tracking also require consideration of the rules on access to terminal equipment.
Illustrative practical example
A cookie banner offers a reject option but loads advertising technologies beforehand. The actual data flows matter alongside the text and appearance.
Documents for the review
The complaint, privacy notices, consent records, technical configuration, service-provider agreements and details of the processing.
