# Art. 15 — Right of access by the data subject

The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the [controller](https://headlesslaw.com/definitions/gdpr/controller/) confirmation as to whether or not [personal data](https://headlesslaw.com/definitions/gdpr/personal-data/) concerning him or her are being processed, and, where that is the case, access to the personal data and the following information:
   1. the purposes of the [processing](https://headlesslaw.com/definitions/gdpr/processing/);
   2. the categories of personal data concerned;
   3. the recipients or categories of [recipient](https://headlesslaw.com/definitions/gdpr/recipient/) to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations;
   4. where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;
   5. the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or [restriction of processing](https://headlesslaw.com/definitions/gdpr/restriction-of-processing/) of personal data concerning the data subject or to object to such processing;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.mica.wtf/mica.wtf/gdpr/chapter-iii-rights-of-the-data-subject-art.-12-23/15.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
