b. Collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes; further processing for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes shall not be considered incompatible with the initial purposes (purpose limitation);

c. Adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed (data minimization);

e. Kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed; personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as the personal data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes, subject to the implementation of appropriate technical and organizational measures required by the regulation in order to safeguard the rights and freedoms of the data subject (storage limitation);

f. Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures (integrity and confidentiality).

Processing is lawful only if, and to the extent that, at least one of the following applies:

a. The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes;

b. Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;

c. Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;

d. Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;

e. Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

f. Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.
