Key Points

• Although the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is primarily aimed at the protection of data subjects, competitors of the controller may also suffer damage due to an infringement.
• Article 82(1) of the GDPR stipulates that ‘any person’ shall have the right to receive compensation. It does not clarify whether a competitor can also invoke this right.
• At first sight, a right to compensation for competitors does not match the primary purpose of the GDPR.
• However, the GDPR also intends to advance the free movement of personal data, strengthen the protection of personal data, and harmonize data protection law. The right to compensation of competitors can make a meaningful contribution to these objectives.
• Furthermore, other provisions of European origin also allow enforcement by competitors.

违反GDPR的竞争对手获得赔偿的权利

关键点

• 尽管《通用数据保护条例》（GDPR）主要针对数据主体的保护，但控制者的竞争对手也可能因侵权而遭受损害。
• GDPR第82（1）条规定，“任何人”均有权获得赔偿。它没有阐明竞争对手是否也可以援引这项权利。
• 乍一看，对竞争者的赔偿权与GDPR的主要目的不符。
• 但是，GDPR还打算促进个人数据的自由流通，加强对个人数据的保护，并统一数据保护法。竞争者的补偿权可以为实现这些目标做出有意义的贡献。
• 此外，其他源自欧洲的规定也允许竞争对手执行。
