With regard to the processing of personal data, the data subject must be provided with the information specified in the GDPR in a concise, comprehensible and easily accessible form. This is often done in the form of privacy statements, which are published, for example, on the organisation's website.
Where personal data have not been collected from the data subject himself, the descriptions shall state, in addition to the basic content:
Understanding data sources is important for understanding data flow. In addition, data protection communications shall be able to communicate the sources of personal data in cases where the data have not been collected directly from the data subject himself.
Privacy communications should be concise, easy to understand and easily accessible. To develop privacy communications, we test our communications for different uses by providing a snapshot of the privacy communications to a test group selected from among data subjects, and modifying the communications based on their feedback.
The purposes of the processing of personal data will change as the business develops. Privacy communications should stay up-to-date and reflect the actual state of processing.
We regularly make sure that all processing purposes are mentioned in communications (e.g. privacy statements), that the processing is accurately described, and that communications are provided to data subjects within the required time limits.
