The Principles of the GDPR

The GDPR puts a real focus on transparency but also on giving people granular control over what is done with their data. It lays out 6 guiding principles:

1. Data shall be processed "lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner."
2. Data shall be "collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes."
3. Data processing shall be "limited to what is necessary" for the purpose.
4. Data shall be accurate, kept up to date, and corrected.
5. Data shall be kept so it identifies a person "no longer than is necessary."
6. Data shall be "processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security."
