persónuverndarkröfu

Persónuverndarkröfu translates to "data protection claim" in English. It refers to a legal right an individual has to seek redress when their personal data has been processed unlawfully or in violation of data protection laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union. These claims can arise from various situations, including unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss of personal data.

An individual can typically make a persónuverndarkröfu by lodging a complaint with the relevant data protection authority in their jurisdiction. They may also have the right to pursue legal action directly in court to seek remedies. These remedies can include compensation for damages, correction of inaccurate data, or orders to cease unlawful processing.

The process of making a persónuverndarkröfu generally involves demonstrating that personal data was processed in contravention of legal provisions and that this processing has caused harm. The burden of proof can vary depending on the specific circumstances and the relevant legal framework. Data protection laws aim to empower individuals by providing them with mechanisms to enforce their rights regarding their personal information.
