- raducu 9y agoI lack legal experties, but I'd assume you will easily be able to sue any company and claim they infringe somehow on your rights as stated by this GDPR; maybe I'm wrong. I attended a GCP event and I could practically see the hipsters pupils dilate/mouth foaming as they went in the hisper frenzy "this GDPR is a huuuge opportunity".
- kbart 9y agoYou can write a complaint to responsible institutions that then chose how to act (send a warning to violating company, issue them fine, start an investigation etc.) You cannot sue companies yourself, unless you can prove that (big) damage was done to you as a direct consequence of violation, then you can seek compensation via civil lawsuit.
- rmc 9y agoActually one new thing about the GDPR is that consumer rights organisations can sue companies/organisations to enforce privacy rights. Max Schrems (who's case killed Safe Harbour) has set up an org None of your Business (https://noyb.eu https://noyb.eu) to do exactly this.
