Article 25
Data protection by design and by default
1.
Taking into account the state of the art, the cost of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of
processing as well as the risks of varying likelihood and severity for rights and freedoms of natural persons posed by the
processing, the controller shall, both at the time of the determination of the means for processing and at the time of the
processing itself, implement appropriate technical and organisational measures, such as pseudonymisation, which are
designed to implement data-protection principles, such as data minimisation, in an effective manner and to integrate the
necessary safeguards into the processing in order to meet the requirements of this Regulation and protect the rights of
data subjects.
2.
The controller shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures for ensuring that, by default,
only personal data which are necessary for each specific purpose of the processing are processed. That obligation applies
to the amount of personal data collected, the extent of their processing, the period of their storage and their accessibility.
In particular, such measures shall ensure that by default personal data are not made accessible without the individual's
intervention to an indefinite number of natural persons.
3.
An approved certification mechanism pursuant to Article 42 may be used as an element to demonstrate
compliance with the requirements set out in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article.
Article 26
Joint controllers
1.
Where two or more controllers jointly determine the purposes and means of processing, they shall be joint
controllers. They shall in a transparent manner determine their respective responsibilities for compliance with the
obligations under this Regulation, in particular as regards the exercising of the rights of the data subject and their
respective duties to provide the information referred to in Articles 13 and 14, by means of an arrangement between
them unless, and in so far as, the respective responsibilities of the controllers are determined by Union or Member State
law to which the controllers are subject. The arrangement may designate a contact point for data subjects.
2.
The arrangement referred to in paragraph 1 shall duly reflect the respective roles and relationships of the joint
controllers vis-à-vis the data subjects. The essence of the arrangement shall be made available to the data subject.
3.
Irrespective of the terms of the arrangement referred to in paragraph 1, the data subject may exercise his or her
rights under this Regulation in respect of and against each of the controllers.
Article 27
Representatives of controllers or processors not established in the Union
1.
Where Article 3(2) applies, the controller or the processor shall designate in writing a representative in the Union.
2.
The obligation laid down in paragraph 1 of this Article shall not apply to:
(a) processing which is occasional, does not include, on a large scale, processing of special categories of data as referred
to in Article 9(1) or processing of personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences referred to in Article
10, and is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, taking into account the nature,
context, scope and purposes of the processing; or
(b) a public authority or body.
