If there are several organisations that share the responsibility for the processing of personal data, the EU GDPR includes the existence of joint controllers. Those measures shall be reviewed and updated where necessary.”Įxamples of such measures may be to allocate responsibilities for data protection, a data protection impact assessment and a risk mitigation plan, implementation of pseudonymization (the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information), and data minimization in order to meet the requirements of this Regulation and protect the rights of data subjects.
