This category of personal data includes data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic or biometric data used to uniquely identify natural persons, data concerning health or data concerning an individual’s sex life or sexual orientation.
All activities relating to personal data (e.g. collection, structuring, alteration, storage, retrieval, consultation, use, adaptation, disclosure, erasure or destruction), whether using automated means or not, are known as “processing” for the purposes of the data protection legislation.
The data protection legislation makes a distinction between those who process data as “controllers” and those who process it as “processors” and imposes different obligations on controllers and processors. “Controllers” are individuals or organizations that determine the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. “Processors” are individuals or organizations that process personal data on behalf of a controller.
