personal *data*. If there exists law protecting against discrimination
based on a class or status, it is likely personal information relating to that
class or status is *subject to more stringent* data protection regulation,
under the GDPR or otherwise.
,◉ Appropriate Safeguards. Answer: The GDPR refers to these in a
number of contexts, *including* the *transfer* of personal data *to third
countries* outside the European Union, the processing of *special
categories* of data, *and* the processing of personal data in a *law
enforcement* context. This generally refers to the application of the
general data protection principles, in particular purpose limitation, data
minimisation, limited storage periods, data quality, data protection by
design and by default, legal basis for processing, processing of special
categories of personal data, measures to ensure data security, and the
requirements in respect of onward transfers to bodies not bound by the
binding corporate rules. This *may* also *refer to* the use of
*encryption or pseudonymization*, *standard* data protection *clause*s

purposes* of processing, as well as the risks of varying *likelihood* and
*severity to* the *rights and freedoms* of natural persons, and institute
policies, controls and certain technologies to mitigate those risks. These
might help meet the obligation to keep personal data secure, including

information. However, the data controller should not be obliged to
acquire additional information in order to identify the data subject for
the sole purpose of complying with any provision of the Regulation.
◉ Automated Processing. Answer: A processing operation that is
performed without any human intervention. "Profiling" is defined in the
