LAWFUL BASIS FOR HOLDING DATA

Under Data Protection Legislation, there must be a ‘lawful basis’ for the use of personal data. The lawful bases are outlined in Article 6, Section 1 of the GDPR. The sub-sections are:

a) ‘your consent’;

b) ‘performance of a contract’;

c) ‘compliance with a legal obligation’;

d) ‘protection of your, or another’s vital interests’;

e) ‘public interest/official authority’; and

f) ‘our legitimate interests’.

Legitimate Interest

This applies when it is necessary to hold your data in the normal course of business unless there is a good reason to protect your personal data which override those legitimate interests. There are 3 tests which should be satisfied when using this approach:

1. Purpose test: are we pursuing a legitimate interest?
2. Necessity test: is the processing necessary for that purpose?
3. Balancing test: do your interests override the legitimate interest?

Examples: Auction Customers, prospective and sellers and purchasers of property, surveying and rural work
