GDPR Articles 82-83 and CNPD Enforcement in Luxembourg
cite Regulation (EU) 2016/679, Arts. 82-83
stage In effect
since 2018-05-25
reviewed 2026-08-24
The CNPD is the supervisory authority for administrative enforcement (General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 83 fines), while a GDPR Article 82 compensation claim is brought before the ordinary civil courts (tribunal d'arrondissement) rather than the CNPD itself, per secondary commentary read this pass. No Luxembourg-specific fine ceiling beyond the GDPR Article 83 maximum was identified.
What it asks of an app
- Expect the CNPD to have jurisdiction and administrative fining power over your processing of personal data of a person in Luxembourg, up to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 83 tiers.
- Expect any person who suffered material or non-material damage from an infringement to bring a direct compensation claim against you as controller or processor in the ordinary Luxembourg civil courts, under GDPR Article 82.
