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 where an abusive intention on the part of the data subject can be demonstrated, the controller may refuse to act on the request. The controller shall bear the burden of demonstrating, in light of all the relevant circumstances of the case, that the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
