According to the decision of the Higher Regional Court of Nuremberg, it does not constitute abuse under Art. 12 para. 5 GDPR if the data subject (also) uses the right of access for motives unrelated to data protection. The data subject also does not have to specify the data; they can request complete information. The effort this causes the controller is irrelevant in this respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This opens up interesting strategic options for a variety of constellations in legal counselling practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to the scope of the claim described above, the data that can be requested also includes statements and expert opinions from consultants and legal advisors, if these (possibly partially) relate to him. This could even include the results of internal investigations by the employer. For example, the (ex-)employee can use this to make a very good assessment of what data the company has and thus improve not only his negotiating position and defence strategy in civil proceedings, but also his <a href=\"https:\/\/pragal-rechtsanwaelte.de\/en\/competencies\/criminal-defence\/\">criminal defence<\/a> if necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018No abuse of rights when using a right to information under Art. 15 para. 1, 3 GDPR for motives unrelated to data protection&#8221;: Dr. Philipp Engelhoven (Esche Sch\u00fcmann Commichau) and Dr. Oliver Pragal have written an article in ZIP (Zeitschrift f\u00fcr Wirtschaftsrecht) on this interesting decision by the Higher Regional Court of Nuremberg (judgement of &#8230; <a title=\"Commentary on the OLG Nuremberg decision\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/pragal-rechtsanwaelte.de\/en\/blog\/commentary-on-olg-nuremberg-decision\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Commentary on the OLG Nuremberg decision\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3302,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-compliance-en","category-internal-investigations-2"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Commentary on the OLG Nuremberg decision<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Right to information under GDPR: Also permissible for non-privacy-related motives!
