Here’s where you can file a complaint in case your GDPR rights have been violated

Each EU member state has its own data protection authority. You can reach out to whichever authority you choose with questions and complaints — it doesn’t matter where the company you’re complaining about has its headquarters. Filing a complaint is free of charge for you as a consumer.

Below is a list of all data protection authorities in the EU. If available, links to their complaint forms or contacts are included and some national authorities even offer these links in English as well.
