A municipal public-health team processes personal data to carry out an official task in the public interest grounded in Member State law. Which Article 6 basis primarily fits?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
City public-health work with a legal mandate is classic ‘official task / public interest’ processing—not a retailer’s legitimate-interests pitch. Article 6(1)(e) is the basis when the controller is doing its public job under the law. Consent gimmicks are usually the wrong frame for that work.
Full Explanation
Article 6(1)(e) covers processing necessary for a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller, typically requiring a basis in Union or Member State law. A municipal public-health team processing data for an official public-interest task illustrates that basis. Consent or private legitimate interests are distinct bases and are not the primary characterisation of mandated official-authority processing.
