107 +Addition Alex Agius SalibaRapporteur · IMCO “The controller shall not engage in any behaviour that undermines the effective exercise of data subjects’ rights provided for in Articles 12 to 22…”
The controller shall not engage in any behaviour that undermines the effective exercise of data subjects’ rights provided for in Articles 12 to 22, making the exercise of those rights unduly difficult.
The controller shall not abusively resort to the exceptions under Article 12(5) in a manifestly unfounded or excessive manner, in particular because of the frequency in which it limits the rights of the same or other data subjects, thereby exceeding the limits of what is appropriate and necessary.
Justification
Inspired by article 13 of the DMA on anti-circumvention to ensure protection against abuse by for example dark patterns, for companies for resorting to the exceptions under Article 12(5).
