Henkilötietojen käyttötarkoitussidonnaisuuden tarkistaminen
1. Task description

Organisaatio kerää henkilötietoja vain tietyssä, nimenomaisessa ja laillisessa tarkoituksessa, eikä käsittele henkilötietoja alkuperäisten tarkoitusten kanssa yhteensopimattomalla tavalla myöhemmin.

Periaatteen toteutuminen tulisi varmistaa säännöllisesti kokonaisuuden näkökulmasta vertaamalla hallintajärjestelmän dokumentaatiota (etenkin tietojen käyttötarkoitukset) henkilötietojen todelliseen hyödyntämiseen organisaation arjessa.
