List of legal bases for data processing activities
| POSSIBLE LEGAL BASIS | EXPLANATIONS AND EXAMPLES | |
|---|---|---|
|
The legal basis for the processing of personal data |
Legitimate interest |
Legitimate interest may be a legal basis when you can answer ‘yes’ to this question: “might the data subject reasonably expect this data processing operation?” If so, you should specify the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party. Examples: safety and security of people and goods, protection and fight against fraud; prevention for the sake of safety and security (including IT security); protection of privacy, statistics etc. |
| Contractual nature |
The performance of a contract (processing of personal data is strictly necessary for the performance of a contract) or the intention to conclude a contract may be a legal basis for processing. If so, you should specify whether the requirement to provide data is necessary for the conclusion of this contract, and any consequences of not providing these data. Examples: service performance; processing of employees’ data to send out pay slips; employee management; processing of data so that purchases can be delivered, etc. |
|
| Consent of the data subject |
Consent is defined as “any freely given specific and informed indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.” If consent is the legal basis for processing, it must be possible to withdraw it at any time, it being made clear that the withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. NB: for children below the age of 16, 15 (in France) or 13 in some States, it is necessary to obtain the consent or authorization “of the holder of parental responsibility”. IN PRACTICE for valid consent: provide a (not pre-ticked) check box; or a choice of technical settings; or a statement or conduct which clearly indicates in this context the data subject's acceptance of the proposed processing. Examples: the use of visitors’ photographs for the in-house magazine, etc. |
|
| Legal obligation |
Data processing is required by law; in this case, legal obligation is the legal basis for processing. Examples: fight against money laundering and anti-terrorism financing procedures; processing of remuneration data for social security; processing of remuneration data for the tax authorities; legal requisitions etc. |
|
| Vital Interest |
Data processing is required by the fact that the vital interest of the data subject or another natural person is at stake. Vital interest is equivalent to a question of life or death, or threats entailing a risk of injury or harm to the health of the data subject or a third party. Examples: processing of an employee's data for the purposes of repatriation. |
|
| Public Interest | Examples: Pandemic management etc. This case is quite rare, so it is not mentioned here. Contact the legal department if necessary. |
