Chapter 2: Principles

Article of the GDPR
Description
PIM reference
§ 5 Principles for the processing of personal data
  • Lawful way
  • Earmarking
  • Data minimization
The users are needed for the mapping of rights and identification in case of queries.
The audit trail is collected for the case of legal relevance.
§ 6 (1) Lawfulness of processing
The processing is lawful only if at least one of the following conditions is met:
(c) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
(f) processing is necessary for the purposes of protecting the legitimate interests of the controller or of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.
Ad c)
Relevant if the audit trail is legally necessary.
Ad f)
For the person(s) responsible (the company), the traceability of actions (the audit trail) is of great interest because of the root cause analysis.
§ 7 (1) Conditions for consent
If the processing is based on consent, the controller must be able to prove that the data subject has consented to the processing of his or her personal data.
Since the processing is within the scope of the notified work of a user, specific consent is not necessary.
[see also § 17(1b)]
§ 8 Conditions for the consent of a child in relation to information society services


None.
§ 9 Processing of special categories of personal data
 
None.
§ 10 Processing of personal data on criminal convictions and criminal offenses

Chapter 3: Rights of the data subject

Article of the GDPR
Description
PIM reference
§ 12 Transparent information, communication and modalities for exercising the rights of the data subject
 
Since the personal data is part of the notified work, transparency is guaranteed.
§ Section 13 Duty to provide information when collecting personal data from the data subject
 
Since the user access generated the audit trail himself, a duty to provide information is not relevant. The user account contains little more than the rights and preferences he needs for his work.
§ Section 14 Duty to provide information if the personal data have not been collected from the data subject
 
This is not relevant for PIM application data, as this can only occur for user data; unless a user account is created and possibly used without the knowledge of the data subject....
§ 15 Right to information of the data subject

For PIM, this is only relevant for the information stored at the user account; the audit trail has been generated by the user himself.
§ 16 Right to rectification
 
This only affects the information at the user, since the audit trail data is generated by the user himself through his activities.
§ 17 Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
 
The right to deletion does not apply if there is a legal basis [employment contract] {1b} or in case of/for the defense of legal claims {3e}.
§ 18 Right to restriction of processing
 
The right to restrict processing does not apply if the data would be needed to clarify legal claims {1c} or in case of objection to processing, content of § 21 (1) {1d}.
§ Section 19 Duty of notification in connection with the correction or deletion of personal data or the restriction of processing
 
Here it must be clarified whether this is regulated in the company's information process.
§ 20 Right to data portability
 
Whether the individual has the right to data portability depends on several factors: What data is at issue, application data or user data, and is that data authorized for disclosure to unauthorized third parties.
§ 21 Right of objection
 
See § 6 "lawful processing" and § 7 "consent".
§ 22 Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling
 
Profiling is only possible to a limited extent in the PIM, since only access to specific revisions of a version is possible. Real profiling is only possible by reading out the DB directly.
§ 23 Restrictions
 
The listed restrictions such as national security, national defense, public security, etc. can only be related to the personal data through the company data and the actions on it. Then § 7 applies.
