Article 79 GDPR
Right to an effective judicial remedy against a controller or processor
1. Without prejudice to any available administrative or non-judicial remedy, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77, each data subject shall have the right to an effective judicial remedy where he or she considers that his or her rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of the processing of his or her personal data in non-compliance with this Regulation.

We teach companies and their employees about the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It is an EU regulation that all companies within the EU/EEA must comply with. GDPR is also applicable to companies registered outside of the EU/EEA, if they process personal data that belongs to individuals within the EU/EEA.
