Article 14 – Transparent information, communication and modalities for the exercise of the rights of the data subject

Information provided under Articles 15 and 16 and any communication and any actions taken under Articles 17 to 24 and 35 shall be provided free of charge. Where requests from a data subject are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character or also, for requests under Article 17 because the data subject abuses the rights conferred by this Regulation for purposes other than the protection of their data, the controller may refuse to act on the request. The controller shall bear the burden of demonstrating that the request is manifestly unfounded or that there are reasonable grounds to believe that it is excessive.
