How can you prove a data controller gave away your information and that you didn’t falsely do it yourself?

The burden of proving the provenance of the data relies on the data controller. Unless the data controller wants to pay a high fine, he has to prove where he got the data, and how/when/where the data owner agreed that the data controller was allowed to use the data.
