Frequently Asked Questions

Under GDPR Art. 6(1)(f), processing based on legitimate interest requires a three-part test: (1) identify the legitimate interest, (2) show the processing is necessary for that interest, (3) balance against the data subject's rights. Document the assessment. anonym.legal's anonymization can reduce the privacy impact, tipping the balance in your favor.

Under GDPR Art. 33, you must notify the supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal data breach. If the breach is likely to result in high risk to individuals, you must also notify the affected data subjects (Art. 34). Proper anonymization means breached data may not constitute a personal data breach.

BCRs (Art. 47) are internal rules for multinational companies to transfer personal data outside the EU/EEA. They require DPA approval and cover data protection principles, rights, complaint mechanisms, and training. Alternative to Standard Contractual Clauses for intra-group transfers.
