BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Following the coming into effect of the GDPR in 2018, as expected, there was a consistent increase in sanctions and enforcement action taken by EU Data Protection Supervisory Authorities. Apart from the powers to impose administrative fines up to a maximum of 20million or 4% of the annual turnover, Supervisory Authorities have additional enforcement tools which they can use when the violations do not require a sanction, such as the issuing of specific orders, reprimands and bans on processing operations. In addition, the GDPR also provides direct remedies for individuals which can be availed of even without involving the Supervisory Authorities.
