Abstract
The right to protection of personal data is one of the fundamental rights of every individual. The detailed regulation of the right to the protection of personal data was achieved by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016, on the protection of individuals in connection with the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data and on the repeal of Directive 95/46/ EC, OJ L 119, of May 4, 2016, commonly known as the General Data Protection Regulation. It became directly applicable on May 25 2018, in all European Union member states, including the Republic of Croatia. This paper highlights the rights of Data subjects under the General Data Protection Regulation and the methods for their realisation. It examines the obligations of data controllers in responding to requests from data subjects, the possibility of restricting certain rights, the supervision of the respondent over the exercise of rights and the requirement to maintain records of personal data processing activities. In conclusion, a proposal is presented on how the data controllers should approach the application of the data subject rights and emphasises the need to distinguish between the rights of data subjects and those of data controllers.
