EDPB’s Guidelines on Legitimate Intesrest

EDPB’s Guidelines on Legitimate Intesrest

Recently, the European Data Protection Board (“EDPB”) adopted Guidelines 01/2024 on processing of personal data based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (processing based on legitimate interest).

Legitimate interest is one of the lawful grounds on which personal data can be processed. Its flexible nature makes it quite hard to actually apply appropriately in real life even though it is one of the most commonly used grounds. These Guidelines analyze the criteria set down in Art. 6(1) (f) GDPR that controllers must meet to lawfully process personal data on the basis of legitimate interest. It also takes into consideration the recent ECJ ruling on this matter (C-621/22, 4 October 2024).

The Guidelines will be open to public consultation until 20 November 2024.
