This paper analyzes private judicial protection mechanisms against data protection infringements, considering the CJEU judgment in Case C-655/23 (Quirin Privatbank). The study addresses two fundamental pillars: the feasibility of prohibitory injunctions given the lack of express regulation in the GDPR and the configuration of non-material damage (emotional harm) derived from the loss of control of personal data. Through a comparative analysis between the German and Spanish legal systems, it warns about the risk of regulatory fragmentation involved in delegating the admissibility of prohibitory injunctions to national laws. Finally, the configuration of non-material damage (emotional harm) in Spain is examined, analyzing the role of civil liability in these cases and the criteria for its quantification.
