Employees - Letter Template Right of access to your personal data (GDPR)

You will find below several models of letters in order to assert your right of access.

Article 15 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides the right for employees to obtain a copy of its personal data being processed. [1]

Article 70-19 of law n°2018-493 of June 20th, 2018 reiterates this provision by stating that "the data concerned has the right to obtain from the data controller the confirmation that personal data concerning him/her are or are not processed and, when they are, the right to access to said data.” [2]

As a result, employees (salaries) can exercise their right of access to obtain many documents.

But what about the effectiveness of this right?

What arguments can the employer put against them?

And how to get around them?
