[Article 15.3](https://gdpr-info.eu/art-15-gdpr/)of [GDPR](https://safe.truevault.com/solutions/gdpr?hsLang=en) states that the first copy of a data subject access request (DSAR) should be provided to the data subject free of charge. However, if the data subject requests subsequent copies of a DSAR, your company can charge a reasonable fee. This fee should be based on the administrative costs of complying with the request. If the data subject complains to the supervisory authority about being charged for a DSAR (which is within the rights of a data subject) then the burden is on your company to prove that the fee assessment was fair.
