Council of the European Union
A council of ministers from the 28 member states, this is the
main decision-making body of the EU, with a central role in
both political and legislative decisions. The council was
established by the treaties of the 1950s, which laid the
foundations for the EU, and works with the European
Parliament to create EU law.
Cross-border Data Transfers (EU specific)
Transfers of personal data to any country outside the
European Economic Area (EEA) may only take place subject to
the condition that the third country ensures an adequate level
of protection for the personal data as determined by the
European Commission. It also applies to onward transfers —
from one third country or international organisation to another
(outside the EEA). In the absence of an adequacy finding,
organizations must use other mechanisms, such as binding
corporate rules, contractual clauses, or certification, for lawful
transfer.
Data Breach Notification (EU specific)
,The requirement that a data controller notify regulators,
potentially within 72 hours of discovery, and/or victims, of
incidents affecting the confidentiality and security of personal
data, depending on the assessed risks to the rights and
freedoms of affected data subjects.
Data Elements
A unit of data that cannot be broken down further or has a
distinct meaning. This may be a date of birth, a numerical
identifier, or location coordinates. In the context of data
protection, it is important to understand that these in isolation
may not be personal data but, when combined, become
personally identifiable and therefore personal data.
Data Controller
The natural or legal person, public authority, agency or any
other body which alone or jointly with others determines the
purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
Where the purposes and means of such processing are
determined by EU or member state law, this or the specific
criteria for its nomination may be provided for by EU or
member state law.
,Data Portability
In certain circumstances, generally where data processing is
done on the basis of consent or a contract, data subjects have
the right to receive their personal data, which they have
provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and
machine-readable format and have the right to transmit that
data to another controller without hindrance from the
controller to which the personal data has been provided.
Data Processor
A natural or legal person (other than an employee of the
controller), public authority, agency or other body which
processes personal data on behalf of the controller. An
organization can be both a controller and a processor at the
same time, depending on the function the organization is
performing.
Data Protection Authority (EU specific)
A term often used to refer to a supervisory authority
Data Protection by Default
, The implementation of appropriate technical and
organisational measures for ensuring that, by default, only
personal data which are necessary for each specific purpose
of the processing are processed. That obligation applies to the
amount of personal data collected, the extent of their
processing, the period of their storage and their accessibility.
In particular, such measures shall ensure that by default
personal data are not made accessible without the individual's
intervention to an indefinite number of natural persons. Such
organizational measures could consist, inter alia, of
minimising the processing of personal data, pseudonymising
personal data as soon as possible, transparency with regard
to the functions and processing of personal data, and enabling
the data subject to monitor the data processing.
Data Protection by Design
When developing, designing, selecting and using applications,
services and products that are based on the processing of
personal data or process personal data to fulfil their task,
producers of the products, services and applications should be
encouraged to take into account the right to data protection
when developing and designing such products, services and
applications and, with due regard to the state of the art, to
make sure that controllers and processors are able to fulfil
their data protection obligations.
