Lawful basis for existing data:

Choose an item.

If you are processing special category data, you will need to identify an additional lawful basis from the following:

Choose an item.

c: If the project involves using existing data for a new purpose identify the lawful basis for the new purpose and consider whether the new purpose is permitted.

d)   What is the nature of the personal data?

e)   What are the consequences of the intended further processing for data subjects?

f)    Are there appropriate safeguards in both the original and intended further processing operations?

Or:

2)     Have the data subjects given their consent to use the data for a new purpose?

Or:

3)     Does the processing constitute a necessary and proportionate measure to safeguard important objectives of general public interest?
