Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Binding arbitration forecloses court litigation for disputes covered by this provision, making the availability and scope of arbitration consequential for users seeking legal recourse.

Interpretive note: The word 'may' indicates this entitlement is conditional and not guaranteed. The full conditions are defined externally in Annex I of the Data Privacy Framework Principles, which is not reproduced in the excerpt, creating uncertainty about the precise scope of the right.
