Appeal to the Croatian Personal Data Protection Agency

If the competent authority or person has refused to provide you with the requested information, you have the right to appeal to the Croatian Personal Data Protection Agency.

In your application you should indicate:

  • the kind of action that you expect from the authority or person
  • if possible, the relevant provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation  which have been violated
  • arguments as to why the authority or person should have fulfilled your request
  • and include relevant documents that substantiate your opinion, if there are any

Appeal to Administrative court

No appeal is allowed against the ruling of the Agency, but if you are not satisfied with the decision taken by the Agency, you can lodge a complaint before a competent administrative court.

The administrative court will assess whether the data user has acted lawfully and, if necessary, may oblige the Agency to order the data user to provide access to information regarding your video recordings. The court may also order compensation if you have requested it.
