A " personal data » is “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person”.
A person can be identified:
- directly (example: last name, first name)
- or indirectly (example: by an identifier (customer number), a (telephone) number, a biometric data, several specific elements specific to one's physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity, but also voice or image).
A treatment of data must have an objective, a purpose, i.e. you cannot collect or process personal data just in case it comes in handy one day. Each data processing must be assigned a purpose, which must obviously be legal and legitimate with regard to your professional activity.
