GDPR for Developers
Legal basis for processing
- Must rely on at least one of these.
- 6 to choose from, but only 3 will be valid in most circumstances.
- Consent is not always a good choice - withdrawal for example.
- Do not confuse consent as a legal basis vs informing people how their data will be processed.
Subject Access Requests and Requests to Erase
- These are requests not demands.
- Not always necessary to comply with either.
- Legal requirements may necessitate retention of data.
- Some data may be protected from access by the subject (e.g. health, police).
