Recital 124
(124) The rights of access to data by the data subject are applicable to the personal data processed for the purpose of this Directive. However, access by the data subject to any information related to a suspicious transaction report would seriously undermine the effectiveness of the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. Exceptions to and restrictions of that right in accordance with Article 23 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and, where relevant, Article 25 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, might therefore be justified. The data subject has the right to request that a supervisory authority as referred to in Article 51 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or, where applicable, the European Data Protection Supervisor, check the lawfulness of the processing and has the right to seek a judicial remedy as referred to in Article 79 of that Regulation. The supervisory authority referred to in Article 51 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 can also act on an ex officio basis. Without prejudice to the restrictions on the right to access, the supervisory authority should be able to inform the data subject that it has carried out all necessary verifications, and of the result as regards the lawfulness of the processing in question.
