Abstract
In respect of data access a vertical and
a horizontal regulatory dimension can be
distinguished.
The first one regards access to data and
related processing information by single data
subjects vis-à-vis data controllers. From this
perspective, access rights are a substantiation
of the principle of transparency and are
an essential means for the protection of data
subjects’ fundamental rights, first of all the fundamental
right to data protection. The horizontal
perspective relates to access to data among
third parties, such as other businesses or public
institutions. From this perspective, thus, access
regimes and corresponding rights advance the
free flow of personal data within the internal
market for the ultimate promotion of market
innovation objectives.
