Abstract: The General Data Protectio, Regulation (GDPR) has emerged as an important tool for safeguarding consumer rights in the digital age. This legal framework establishes crucial rights for individuals, such as the right to access their personal data, the right to be forgotten, and the right to compensation for data breaches. The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has played a significant role in interpreting and enforcing the GDPR, issuing rulings that have strengthened consumer protections. These rulings address a wide range of issues, including automated decision-making, data minimisation, and the processing of sensitive personal data.
