Study Notes
Legal Grounds for Data Processing
- Article 6 of the GDPR provides legal grounds for processing personal data, focusing on consent and necessity.
- Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): Data subject must voluntarily agree to the processing for specific purposes.
- Contract necessity (Article 6(1)(b)): Processing required for fulfilling a contract the data subject is a party to.
- Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)): Processing is essential to the controller's or a third party's interests, not overridden by the data subject's rights.
Importance of Contractual Grounds
- Online shops primarily rely on Article 6(1)(b) for processing transactional data, such as names, addresses, and payment information.
- Processing must be limited to what is strictly necessary to fulfill the contract, prohibiting unrelated data uses, like creating personalized ads.
Cookies and User Consent
- Cookies are small data files stored on a user's device, enabling websites to remember user actions and preferences.
- Session cookies are crucial for enabling smooth shopping experiences, while third-party cookies track behavior for targeted ads.
- Consent is required for storing non-essential cookies; users must explicitly agree, as implied consent (e.g., continuing to browse) is insufficient.
Design Requirements for Online Shops
- "Privacy by design": Data protection principles must be integrated into the technical design of websites.
- "Privacy by default": Default settings should allow the processing of only the minimum necessary data for specific purposes.
Data Transfers to Third Countries
- Transfer of personal data outside the EU/EEA is complex, especially with U.S. software solutions that may require data feedback.
- Adequacy decisions by the European Commission assure that third countries provide adequate data protection (e.g., Canada, Japan, Switzerland).
- The Privacy Shield Agreement was invalidated by the CJEU, affecting data transfers to U.S. companies.
Understanding Key Terms
- Processing encompasses any action performed on personal data (collection, storage, alteration, etc.) and includes both automated and manual methods.
- Data subjects are identifiable individuals whose data is being processed, requiring legal protection.
- Controllers determine the purposes of data processing, while processors follow the controller's instructions concerning that data.
