Verification of the necessity and proportionality of personal data
1. Task description

The organisation ensures that the processing of personal data is necessary and proportionate for the legitimate purposes of the processing. Personal data should only be processed if the purpose of the processing cannot be reasonably achieved by other means.

The implementation of this principle should be regularly verified from a holistic perspective by analysing the documentation of the management system (in particular the purposes for which the data are used).
