Recital 18*
Commission Proposal
|
18. Any processing of personal data must be fair and lawful in relation to the individuals concerned. In particular, the specific purposes for which the data are processed should be explicit. |
EDRi’s proposed amendment
|
18. Any processing of personal data must be fair, |
Justification
This amendment brings this recital more in line with its counterpart in the proposed General Data Protection Regulation and also reflects our proposed changes to Article 4 of this Directive. The principle of transparency should be mentioned as a general principle, even though in the law enforcement context, there are many cases in which data subject rights might be temporarily restricted.
