The principles of lawfulness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, and storage limitation are set out in Article 5 GDPR, while the information duty regarding purposes, legal bases, recipients, and storage periods is imposed by Articles 13-14 GDPR.

6Article 6. Health data and explicit consent

  • (1)Health data are sensitive data / special categories of data within the meaning of Article 9(1) GDPR. As a rule, their processing is prohibited, except in the situations provided by Article 9(2) GDPR.

  • (3)Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous, and for health data it must be explicit. It may be withdrawn at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal, in accordance with Article 7 GDPR. The EDPB explicitly treats consent as the benchmark standard in such sensitive contexts.
  • (4)Withdrawal of consent may make it impossible to continue the requested service, to the extent that those data are strictly necessary to process your request.
  • (5)Please do not provide more medical data than is necessary for the intended purpose.
