Article 6 (GDPR)

Article 6 of the GDPR outlines the legal grounds for processing personal data. It states that organizations can only process personal information if they have a valid reason, such as obtaining consent from the individual, fulfilling a contract, complying with legal obligations, protecting vital interests, performing a task in the public interest, or pursuing legitimate interests. Essentially, it ensures data is used lawfully, fairly, and transparently, balancing individual rights with organizational needs. Without meeting these conditions, processing personal data is considered unlawful under GDPR.
