Description
Summary:[...]the controller has to inform the data subject about his other rights and the possibility to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Article 15(1)(e) and (f). [...]Article 21(6) grants the data subject the right to object to the processing of his personal data for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR. According to recital 71, Article 22(1) also applies to the automatic refusal of an online credit application or e-recruiting practices without any human intervention. See also Xavier Duncan L'Hoiry & Clive Norris, 'The honest data protection officer's guide to enable citizens to exercise their subject access rights: lessons from a ten-contry European study' (2015) 5 IDPL 190, 197; Ausloos and Dewitte, supra n.6, 23. Since the Data Protection Directive only states that the right to object to direct marketing must be free of charge, one could a contrario conclude that a fee can be asked for the exercise of the other rights.
