Lawfulness Of Processing
There are six alternative ways in which the lawfulness of a specific case of processing of
personal data may be established under the GDPR.
It is Coughlan DeKeyser Architects’ policy to identify the appropriate basis for processing and to document it, in
accordance with the regulation. The options are described in brief in the following sections.
1. Consent
Unless it is necessary for a reason allowable in the GDPR, Coughlan DeKeyser Architects will always obtain explicit
consent from a data subject to collect and process their data. Transparent information about
our usage of their personal data will be provided to data subjects at the time that consent is
obtained and their rights with regard to their data explained, such as the right to withdraw
consent.
2. Performance of a Contract
Where the personal data collected and processed are required to fulfil a contract with the data
subject, explicit consent is not required. This will often be the case where the contract cannot
be completed without the personal data in question e.g. a delivery cannot be made without an
address to deliver to.
3. Legal Obligation
If the personal data is required to be collected and processed in order to comply with the law,
then explicit consent is not required. This may be the case for some data related to
employment and taxation for example, and for many areas addressed by the public sector.
4. Vital Interests of the Data Subject
In a case where the personal data are required to protect the vital interests of the data subject
or of another natural person, then this may be used as the lawful basis of the processing.
Coughlan DeKeyser Architects will retain reasonable, documented evidence that this is the case, whenever this
reason is used as the lawful basis of the processing of personal data.
5. Task Carried Out in the Public Interest
Where Coughlan DeKeyser Architects needs to perform a task that it believes is in the public interest or as part of
an official duty then the data subject’s consent will not be requested. The assessment of the
public interest or official duty will be documented and made available as evidence where
required.
6. Legitimate Interests
If the processing of specific personal data is in the legitimate interests of Coughlan DeKeyser Architects and is
judged not to affect the rights and freedoms of the data subject in a significant way, then this
may be defined as the lawful reason for the processing. Again, the reasoning behind this view
will be documented.
