Referral C-456/22 (Gemeinde Ummendorf, 8 Jul 2022)

Is the concept of non-material damage in Article 82(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 1 to be interpreted as meaning that the assumption of non-material damage requires a noticeable disadvantage and an objectively comprehensible impairment of personal interests, or is the mere short-term loss of the data subject’s unfettered control over his or her data due to the publication of personal data on the internet for a period of a few days, which did not have any noticeable or adverse consequences for the data subject, sufficient for that purpose?
