Abstract

Technological developments have led to tools for collecting personal data in a volume and form that in the past would have been difficult to gather. This creates new opportunities for public and private sector agencies to store and process personal data for a variety of purposes, while it also produces risks for data subjects regarding data protection and privacy. In this frame, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) focuses on enhancing data subjects’ rights in order to increase their control over personal data, establishing at the same time stricter obligations for data controllers and compliance monitoring procedures. This research explores a group of Greek data subjects’ knowledge about their rights and the rights-related behavior showing that, one year after the implementation of GDPR, they are not yet fully aware of all their rights and in some cases they do not know how to exercise these rights.
