The GDPR has introduced the obligation to maintain a record of processing activities. This obligation, mostly conceived as a further burden for the data controller and a mere formal fulfillment, actually performs substantial functions.
The article describes the (disastrous) consequences – practical and legal – of one of the most frequent errors made by data controllers dealing with privacy rules: the use of default consent as the legal basis for processing, regardless of any assessment on its actual adequacy to the specific case.
The figure of the DPO established by the GDPR, whether it is a subject inside or outside the company, sometimes risks finding itself in situations of conflict of interest, with all the consequences that come from this situation. It is therefore useful to know the possible problems and the solutions to avoid them.
