Compensation under the GDPR: A Recent Ruling

The Austrian Court of Justice has established that a right to compensation for a violation of a GDPR provision exists if three cumulative conditions are met. The existence of non-material damage does not require a specific degree of severity. In a case involving an Austrian citizen and an Austrian postal company, the court found that a single breach of a GDPR provision does not automatically lead to a right to compensation. The court also ruled that a certain level of severity is required for compensation for non-material damage, and that EU provisions for determining the amount of compensation are admissible. The court concluded that both material and non-material damage can justify compensation, and that a specific degree of seriousness is not necessary. The case highlights the importance of interpreting the term 'damage' in the GDPR broadly, and that compensation can be granted for both material and non-material damage. There exists a right to compensation for the violation of a provision under the GDPR if three cumulative conditions are met. The existence of non-material damage does not require a specific degree of severity. The Court of Justice has established this in the present judgment, where an Austrian citizen and an Austrian postal company were at odds.
