A processing activity cites a valid Article 6 basis on paper, but the user experience hides the real use of the data behind deceptive interface patterns. What principle pairing does this scenario highlight?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Having a lawful basis on the clipboard does not give a free pass to trick people in the interface. Fairness walks beside lawfulness—if the UX is deceptive, the processing still smells wrong under the principles. Paper compliance without honest dealing is half a job.
Full Explanation
Article 5(1)(a) requires personal data to be processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner. Naming a lawful basis addresses lawfulness but does not exhaust fairness or transparency. Deceptive user experiences that obscure real processing purposes can render processing unfair even when a formal Article 6 basis is asserted on paper.
