GDPR Articles 82-83 and VDAI Enforcement in Lithuania
VDAI enforces the Act with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 58 corrective powers and fining authority, confirmed by both DLA Piper and Linklaters. The private-sector fine ceiling follows the standard GDPR Article 83(5) figures, up to EUR 20 million or 4 percent of global annual turnover; both sources separately report a lower public-sector ceiling capped at a percentage of that body's own budget, a figure not independently confirmed against primary legislative text this pass.
GDPR Article 82 gives any person who suffered material or non-material damage a right to compensation from the controller or processor.
What it asks of an app
- Expect VDAI to have jurisdiction and fining power over your processing of personal data of a person in Lithuania, up to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 83(5) tiers.
- Expect any person who suffered material or non-material damage from an infringement to have a direct right to claim compensation from you as controller or processor, under GDPR Article 82.
