Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator

What happened

The HDPA of Greece examined the complaint of an employee of the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator S.A. against the latter regarding a possible violation of the data subject's right to access their data (Article 15 GDPR) via the refusal to issue a certificate of employment status needed by the complainant for the purposes of fulfilling the prerequisites for a new position they were chosen for. The HDPA held that the subject-matter of the complaint was no longer existent, but referred the case to the HDPA Plenary for the purposes of defining the relation between the data subject's right to access their data and the issuing of certificates of employment.
