I'm sorry. The ownership of data bears zero relevance to your right to
access to your personal data. The latter is not unqualified in that it
is not an absolute one, but under the Data Protection Directive you have
it as a default rule.

Moreover, it is property rights on data that is an unclear territory in
law compared to access rights to personal data. Your position only
underlines that concepts of ownership makes it all murkier, not clearer.
