Legal Basis For Processing

Legal Basis For Processing

The legal basis for processing is a fundamental requirement under the GDPR and other data protection laws, which mandates that organizations must have a legitimate and lawful reason for collecting and processing personal data. The GDPR outlines six legal bases for processing personal data: consent, contract, legal obligation, vital interests, public task, and legitimate interests. Organizations must identify and document the specific legal basis that applies to their data processing activities to ensure compliance.
