Summary/Abstract: The right to informational self-determination is interpreted as the right to make decisions about personal data or as the right to have control over the data, which does not mean the absolute possibility to handle the data, but rather transparency and possibility to influence the processing. The control is provided by GDPR, which allows compensa-tion for immaterial damage. According to the case-law, the loss of control is such damage.
