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.
