Abstract

Abstract Chapter 3 establishes a bridge between (a) the general overview of the data-driven economy and the pertaining legal framework, and (b) the specific analysis of data subject control rights. Individual control represents a central notion in philosophical discussions related to people’s autonomy and freedom. In a similar manner, individual control over data plays an important role in the provisions of primary and secondary EU (data protection) law, and has two facets: the normative, meaning that control links back to the values that underpin the entire legal field; and the instrumental, which materialises through the provisions on data subject rights. Despite being a central notion in data protection law, individual control faces many challenges which are rooted in the specific characteristics of the data-driven economy.
