Lawfulness of processing of personal data
- The lawfulness of processing personal data is based on the following principles of the EU General Data Protection Regulation:
- The data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes (GDPR Art. 6 (1)a);

- The data subject has given explicit consent to the processing of those personal data for one or more specified purposes (GDPR Art. 9 (2)a). The aforementioned legitimate interests of the controller are based, for example, on a meaningful and appropriate relationship between the data subject and the controller, which arises when the data subject is related to the controller in connection with the purpose of use of the data file, as long as the processing is done for purposes which the data subject can reasonably be assumed to have expected at the time of, and in conjunction with, the data being collected.
