Legal basis

The legal ground that authorises the processing of personal data.

Definition

The legal basis is the legal ground (one of the six set out in Article 6 of the GDPR) that authorises the processing of personal data: consent, performance of a contract, legal obligation, vital interests, public interest task, or legitimate interests.

Context & regulatory framework

Every processing activity must rely on a clearly identified legal basis, documented in the record of processing activities. Changing the legal basis during processing is legally very complex.
