Amendment 392 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 23
(23) The principles of protection should apply only to any specific information concerning an identified or identifiable person. To determine whether a person is identifiable, account should be taken of allonly those means likely reasonably to be used either by the controller or by any other natural or legal person to identify the individual and of the reasonable likelihood of a person being identified. The principles of data protection should not apply to data rendered anonymous in such a way that the data subject is no longer or not yet identifiable from the data.

Amendment 412 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 25
(25) Consent should be given explicitly by any appropriate method enabling a freely given specific and informed indication of the data subject’s wishes, either by a statement or by a clear affirmative action by the data subject, ensuring that individuals are aware that they give their consent to the processing of personal data, including by ticking a box when visiting an Internet website or by any other statement or conduct which clearly indicates in this context the data subject’s acceptance of the proposed processing of their personal data. The act of seeking and agreeing to specific healthcare treatment should be considered as consent within the meaning of Articles 4(8) and 6(1)(a) to the processing of personal health data related to that specific treatment and as meeting the burden of proof under Article 7(1), without preventing Member States from maintaining existing more stringent national rules in this regard. Silence or inactivity should therefore not constitute consent. Consent should cover all processing activities carried out for the same purpose or purposes. If the data subject’s consent is to be given following an electronic request, the request must be clear, concise and not unnecessarily disruptive to the use of the service for which it is provided.

Amendment 466 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 40
(40) The processing of personal data for other purposes should be only allowed where the processing is compatible with those purposes for which the data have been initially collected, in particularsuch as where the processing is necessary for historical, statistical or scientific research purposes. Where the other purpose is not compatible with the initial one for which the data are collected, the controller should obtain the consent of the data subject for this other purpose or should base the processing on another legitimate ground for lawful processing, in particular where provided by Union law or the law of the Member State to which the controller is subject. In any case, the application of the principles set out by this Regulation and in particular the information of the data subject on those other purposes should be ensured.

Amendment 494 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 53
(53) Any person should have the right to have personal data concerning them rectified and a ‘right to be forgotten’ where the retention of such data is not in compliance with this Regulation. In particular, data subjects should have the right that their personal data are erased and no longer processed, where the data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which the data are collected or otherwise processed, where data subjects have withdrawn their consent for processing or where they object to the processing of personal data concerning them or where the processing of their personal data otherwise does not comply with this Regulation. This right is particularly relevant, when the data subject has given their consent as a child, when not being fully aware of the risks involved by the processing, and later wants to remove such personal data especially on the Internet. However, the further retention of the data should be allowed where it is necessary for historical, statistical and scientific research purposes, for rheasons of public interlth purposest in the area of public healthaccordance with Article 81, for exercising the right of freedom of expression, when required by law or where there is a reason to restrict the processing of the data instead of erasing them.
