TY - JOUR TI - The right to object – a special decision-making right of the personal data subject AU - Gudowska-Natanek, Elżbieta TI - The right to object – a special decision-making right of the personal data subject AB - The article deals with the issue of a special decision-making right of the subject of personal data, which is the right to object to the processing of personal data by the data subject. The purpose of the study is not only to show the essence of this right, including the analysis of the conditions entitling the data subject to use the objection, administrator’s conduct, effects of making an effective request, as well as legal measures applicable in the event of rejection of the objection, but also to draw attention to the existing normative inaccuracies reflected in Regulation 2016/679. After reading the study, the readers will notice that the protection of the rights of the subject of personal data, without the help of a professional attorney, may not bring the expected results. The second emphasized aim of the study is of fundamental importance because ambiguous, hard-to-interpret, confusing, and highly formalized law is never helpful to the individual. Perhaps pointing out problems of a legal nature, which constitute specific postulates de lege ferenda, will cause a rational lawmaker to decide to introduce appropriate changes to the regulations.
