Example 8: Immediately after completing the registration, users are only able to access data protection information by calling up the general menu of the social media platform and browse the submenu section that includes a link to “privacy and data settings”.

Example 40: In this example, when users want to manage the visibility of their data, they have to go in the “privacy preference” tab. The information for which they can set their preference is listed there. However, the way that information is displayed does not make it obvious how to change the settings. Indeed, users have to click on the current visibility option in order to access a dropdown menu from which they can select the option they prefer.

Example 48: The paragraph under the subtitle “right to access” in the privacy policy explains that users have the right to obtain information under Article 15 (1) GDPR. However, it only mentions users’ possibility to receive a copy of their personal data. There is no direct link visible to exercise the copy component of the right of access under article 15 (3) GDPR. Rather, the first three words in “You can have a copy of your personal data” are slightly underlined. When hovering over these words with the users’ mouse, a small box is displayed with a link to the settings.
