What happened
The Danish DPA held that an access request by a data subject asking his previous employer to provide all emails, notes and letters sent or signed by him was excessive according to Article 12(5)(b) GDPR, since it comprised a very large amount of personal data predominantly connected to his duties and not personal attributes.
