JUSTIFIED LEGITIMATE INTEREST ANALYSIS
15th, October 2025
Data Controller: UAB TRAFIPARK, registry code 306362443, address
Savanorių pr. 123A-3, 03150 Vilnius, Lithuania
The purpose of personal data
processing:
The data will be used strictly for the purpose of vehicle
identification, ownership verification, and legal claim
processing (e.g., debt collection, contract enforcement, or
damage liability review)
Categories of personal data / Types of
personal data
Vehicle owner and user information, as well as vehicle
make, model, first registration date, and Euro emission
standard
A) Identification of Legitimate Interest
1. What is the purpose of the processing information?
The information is processed to identify vehicles, verify ownership, manage legal claims, and
notify drivers or owners about traffic violations or outstanding fines. Accurate data ensures legal
compliance and protects the company’s rights.
2. Is the processing necessary to achieve one or more of the Company’s objectives?
Yes. The processing of this information is necessary to achieve the Company’s objectives, as it
enables: (i) Accurate vehicle identification and ownership verification; (ii) Proper handling of
legal claims, such as debt collection, contract enforcement, and damage liability assessment;
(iii) Timely notification to drivers or owners regarding traffic violations, fines, or other legal
obligations (iv) Ensuring compliance with legal requirements and protecting the Company.
3. Is the processing necessary to achieve one or more of a third party?
Processing is necessary for a third party is required to: (i) Provide a service – e.g., sending an
invoice to a client using their data; (ii) Fulfill a contract – e.g., sharing delivery details with a
shipping company to complete an order. (iii) Meet legal obligations – e.g., reporting certain
information to tax authorities on behalf of a client.
4. Does the GDPR, the ePrivacy Regulation, or any other legal act identify the processing
operation as a legitimate activity through a positive outcome of a balancing test?
Yes. Under the GDPR, processing can be considered legitimate if a balancing test demonstrates
that the company’s legitimate interests outweigh the potential impact on individuals’ rights and
freedoms. The processing must be necessary for the purpose and proportionate, ensuring that
data subjects’ fundamental rights are not overridden.
5. Is the legitimate interest behind the processing “legitimate”?
Yes, it is. The legitimate interest behind the processing is lawful, genuine, and clearly defined,
such as improving services, ensuring security, or preventing fraud.
B) Necessity
6. Why is the processing operation necessary for the data controller?
The processing operation is necessary for the data controller because it enables the organization
to fulfill its contractual, legal, or operational obligations: (i) to perform a contract, such as
delivering goods or providing a service, the controller needs to process customer data (e.g.,
addresses, payment information); (ii) to comply with legal obligations, like reporting to tax
authorities or maintaining records for regulatory purposes; (iii) To protect legitimate business
interests, such as preventing fraud, ensuring IT security, or managing internal operations
efficiently.In all cases, the processing is essential for the data controller to achieve these
purposes, and no less intrusive method would suffice, making it necessary.
7. Why is the processing operation important for other parties to whom the data may be
disclosed (if relevant)?
The processing operation is important for other parties to whom the data may be disclosed
because it enables them to perform their roles or fulfill their obligations in relation to the data
subject or the data controller: (i) Service providers or contractors may need the data to deliver a
service, such as shipping companies needing customer addresses to complete deliveries; (ii)
Regulatory or legal authorities may require the data to ensure compliance with laws or to protect
public interests; (iii) Business partners may use the data to manage contracts, provide support,
or coordinate operations efficiently. In these cases, the processing is essential for these third
parties to carry out necessary activities, making it relevant and justified.
8. Is there another way to achieve the purpose?
No, there is no other way to achieve the purpose. The processing is necessary because it is the
only effective and proportionate method to fulfill the intended goal.
C) Balancing test
8. Can the individual reasonably expect such processing?
Yes. The individual can reasonably expect such processing, as the collection and processing of
personal data for debt recovery purposes are a common and foreseeable consequence of having
an unpaid financial obligation or fine. This expectation arises from the individual’s contractual
or legal relationship with the original creditor and from standard industry practices.
Furthermore, data subjects are typically informed of such processing through privacy notices
issued by the creditor or the debt collection agency, ensuring transparency and compliance with
data protection requirements.
9. Does the processing add value to the product or service used by the individual?
Indirectly, yes. While the primary purpose of the processing is to recover outstanding debts or
fines, it also contributes to maintaining the integrity and fairness of the service provided. By
ensuring that financial obligations are met, the company can continue to offer services on fair
terms to all customers and prevent misuse or financial loss. Therefore, the processing indirectly
supports the sustainability and reliability of the service.
10. Is the processing operation likely to negatively affect the individual’s rights?
The processing may have a limited negative impact on the individual’s rights, particularly
regarding privacy and reputation, as it involves handling personal and financial information.
However, these risks are minimized through strict compliance with data protection laws,
proportional data use, and secure handling of personal data. The processing is limited to what is
necessary for legitimate debt recovery purposes, and individuals are informed of their rights,
including the right to access, rectify, or object to the processing.
11. Could the processing operation result in unwarranted harm or distress to the
individual?
In general, the processing is not intended to cause harm or distress. However, there is a limited
risk that individuals may experience discomfort or stress when being contacted regarding unpaid
debts or fines. Such effects are considered proportionate to the legitimate purpose of debt
recovery and are mitigated by ensuring that all communications are respectful, necessary, and
compliant with legal and ethical standards. The company also limits data use to relevant
information and provides clear contact options for individuals to exercise their data protection
rights.
12. Would not carrying out the processing operation result in harm to the data controller?
Yes. If the processing were not carried out, the data controller would be unable to recover
outstanding debts or fines, resulting in financial loss and reduced operational efficiency.
This could also undermine the company’s ability to meet contractual or legal obligations
and affect its financial stability. Therefore, processing the data is necessary to protect the
legitimate business interests of the data controller.
13. Would not carrying out the processing operation result in harm to a third party?
Potentially, yes. If the debt collection process is not carried out, third parties—such as the
original creditor, suppliers, or other customers—could suffer financial or operational harm. For
example, unpaid debts may affect the creditor’s cash flow, ability to provide services, or fairness
in treating other customers. Processing the data is therefore necessary to protect the legitimate
interests of these third parties while remaining proportionate and compliant with data protection
principles.
14. Is the processing operation carried out in the interest of the data subject?
Not directly. The primary purpose of the processing is to recover outstanding debts or fines,
which serves the legitimate interests of the data controller and, in some cases, third parties.
While the processing may indirectly benefit the data subject by maintaining fair and sustainable
services, the operation is not primarily carried out for the individual’s personal interest.
Safeguards and transparency measures are implemented to minimize any negative impact on the
data subject.
15. Is the legitimate interest of the data subject balanced with the legitimate interest of the
party relying on the legitimate interest exemption?
Yes. The processing is conducted in a manner that balances the legitimate interests of the data
controller (recovering debts or fines) with the rights and interests of the data subject. The
company limits data collection and use to what is strictly necessary, ensures secure handling of
personal data, and provides clear information and rights to the individual. Measures such as
proportionality, transparency, and access to remedies are applied to ensure that the individual’s
interests are not overridden by the controller’s legitimate interest.
16. What is the relationship between the individual and the company?
The relationship is primarily a financial or contractual one. The individual owes a debt or has
an outstanding fine to the company's client, establishing a creditor-debtor relationship. The
company processes personal data in this context to recover amounts lawfully due, in line with
its legitimate interests and obligations under applicable law. There is no ongoing service
provision beyond managing the financial obligation unless otherwise specified by a separate
contract.
17. What is the nature of the data being processed? Does it include special category data?
The data being processed is primarily personal and financial in nature, including the individual’s
name, contact details, payment history, and information related to outstanding debts or fines. It
does not typically include special category data as defined under GDPR (e.g., health data, racial
or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or biometric data). The processing is strictly
limited to what is necessary for debt recovery and conducted in accordance with data protection
principles.
18. Does a bilateral relationship exist between the company and the individual whose data
is being processed? If yes, how close is the relationship?
Yes, a bilateral relationship exists, but it is limited in scope. The relationship is primarily
financial or contractual: the individual owes a debt or has an outstanding fine to the company
(or its client). The closeness of the relationship is minimal and transactional, focused solely on
the management and recovery of financial obligations. There is no ongoing personal or service-
based relationship beyond the debt or fine context.
19. Does the processing restrict or infringe upon the individual’s rights?
No, the processing is designed to comply with data protection laws and does not unduly restrict
or infringe upon the individual’s rights. Individuals retain their rights to access, rectify, object
to, or erase their data, and the company provides clear information on how these rights can be
exercised. Any impact on the individual is proportionate and limited to what is necessary for the
legitimate purpose of debt recovery.
20. Were the personal data obtained directly from the individual or indirectly?
The personal data may be obtained directly. Directly, the company may receive information
provided by the individual during initial transactions, registration, or communication with the
creditor. All data is processed in accordance with data protection principles.
21. Is there a relationship of subordination or power between the individual and the
company?
No, there is no formal relationship of subordination. The relationship is primarily financial or
contractual: the individual owes a debt or has an outstanding fine to the company (or its client).
While the company does have authority to pursue debt recovery, this authority is limited to the
legal and contractual obligations associated with the debt. There is no ongoing hierarchical or
employment-like power over the individual beyond what is necessary to enforce legitimate
financial obligations.
22. Is it likely that the individual would expect their data to be processed for this purpose?
Yes. Given the individual’s financial or contractual relationship with the company (or its client),
it is reasonable for the individual to expect that their personal data would be used to manage and
recover outstanding debts or fines. Such processing is standard practice in debt collection and is
typically communicated to the individual through privacy notices or contractual terms, making
the purpose foreseeable and aligned with the individual’s expectations.
23. Can the processing be considered intrusive or inappropriate? Would it be seen as such
by the individual or based on the context of the relationship?
Generally, the processing is not considered intrusive or inappropriate. The company processes
personal data solely for the legitimate purpose of recovering debts or fines, within legal and
contractual boundaries. While some individuals may feel discomfort when contacted about
outstanding obligations, this is proportionate and expected within the context of a creditor-
debtor relationship. Safeguards such as limited data use, respectful communication, and
transparency ensure the processing remains appropriate and lawful.
24. Have privacy terms been disclosed to the individual? How?
Yes. Privacy terms are typically disclosed to the individual through multiple channels, such as:
(i) Privacy notices provided by the original creditor at the time of entering into a contract or
financial agreement; (ii) Written communications or emails from the company explaining how
personal data will be used for debt recovery purposes; (iii) Publication on the company’s
website or in official contractual documentation. These disclosures ensure transparency and
compliance with data protection laws, allowing the individual to understand how their personal
data will be processed and to exercise their rights.
25. Can the individual whose data is being processed easily control or object to the
processing operation?
Yes. Individuals can exercise their rights under data protection law to control or object to the
processing of their personal data. The company provides clear information on how to submit
requests, including the right to access, rectify, restrict, or erase data, and the right to object to
debt recovery communications where applicable. These mechanisms ensure that the individual
retains control over their personal data while allowing the company to carry out its legitimate
debt recovery activities in compliance with legal requirements.
26. Can the scope of processing be adjusted to reduce significant privacy risks?
Yes. The company can limit the scope of processing to what is strictly necessary for debt
recovery, thereby reducing potential privacy risks. Measures include processing only relevant
personal and financial data, limiting access to authorized personnel, anonymizing or
pseudonymizing data where possible, and restricting communications to essential channels.
These adjustments help ensure proportionality and minimize the impact on the individual’s
privacy while still allowing the company to pursue legitimate debt recovery activities.
D) Safeguards and Compensating Controls
The company implements multiple safeguards and compensating controls to protect individuals
and reduce the risks or potential negative effects of processing personal data. These measures
include: (i) Data minimisation: Only collecting and processing data strictly necessary for debt
recovery; (ii) De-identification or pseudonymisation: Reducing the link between personal data
and the individual wherever possible; (iii) Technical and organisational measures: Ensuring
secure storage, access controls, and staff training; (iv) Privacy by default: Configuring systems
to process the minimum personal data needed for the purpose; (v)Transparency measures: Clear
communication to data subjects about the purpose and scope of processing; (vi) Encryption and
multi-factor authentication: Protecting data from unauthorised access; (vii) Data retention
controls: Retaining data only for as long as necessary to fulfill debt recovery purposes. (viii)
Restricted access: Limiting access to authorised personnel; (ix) These safeguards collectively
ensure that the processing is proportionate, secure, and compliant with applicable data protection
legislation, while mitigating potential negative impacts on the individual.
E) Conclusions
After assessing the legitimate interest balancing test, it can be concluded that the processing of
personal data by the company for the purpose of debt and fine recovery is lawful, proportionate,
and conducted in accordance with data protection principles. The processing serves a legitimate
interest of the company, and any potential impact on the rights and freedoms of the data subject
is mitigated by: (i) limiting data processing to what is necessary; (ii) implementing technical
and organizational safeguards; (iii) ensuring transparency through clear privacy notices; (iv)
providing mechanisms for individuals to exercise their rights; (v) applying measures to
minimize potential distress or harm.
Overall, the legitimate interest of the company is balanced against the rights and interests of the
individual, and the safeguards in place ensure that the processing is fair, secure, and
proportionate.

Subject: RE: Regarding agreement and driver data
Hello
Please let us know, what is Your decision of proceeding the contract. We`ll wait Your answer till the end of the next week and after that we`ll close Your request. If we close the request then it means that You have to provide us new application.
If You want to preceed, then You have to consider that we can give out only data of the vehicles which have violated the parking terms. If there is some ohter violations like traffic violations, speed or red-light offences etc then in this case we do not give out car owners data.
Also if we proceed You need to present justified legitimate interest analysis according to our Data Protection Inspectorate. In attachment is questions in Estonian, that is translated in English down below.
In this analysis You have to answer next questions:
What does the processing operation involve? (Description) Why is processing based on legitimate interest necessary?
Identification of Legitimate Interest
What is the purpose of the processing operation?
Is the processing necessary to achieve one or more of the company’s objectives?
Is the processing necessary to achieve one or more objectives of a third party?
Does the GDPR, the ePrivacy Regulation, or any other legal act identify the processing operation as a legitimate activity through a positive outcome of a balancing test?
Is the interest behind the processing “legitimate”?
Necessity
Why is the processing operation necessary for the data controller?
Why is the processing operation important for other parties to whom the data may be disclosed (if relevant)?
Is there another way to achieve the purpose?
Balancing Test
Can the individual reasonably expect such processing?
Does the processing add value to the product or service used by the individual?
Is the processing operation likely to negatively affect the individual’s rights?
Could the processing operation result in unwarranted harm or distress to the individual?
Would not carrying out the processing operation result in harm to the data controller?
Would not carrying out the processing operation result in harm to a third party?
Is the processing operation carried out in the interest of the data subject?
Is the legitimate interest of the data subject balanced with the legitimate interest of the party relying on the legitimate interest exemption?
What is the relationship between the individual and the company?
What is the nature of the data being processed? Does it include special category data?
Does a bilateral relationship exist between the company and the individual whose data is being processed? If yes, how close is the relationship?
Does the processing restrict or infringe upon the individual’s rights?
Were the personal data obtained directly from the individual or indirectly?
Is there a relationship of subordination or power between the individual and the company?
Is it likely that the individual would expect their data to be processed for this purpose?
Can the processing be considered intrusive or inappropriate? Would it be seen as such by the individual or based on the context of the relationship?
Have privacy terms been disclosed to the individual? How?
Can the individual whose data is being processed easily control or object to the processing operation?
Can the scope of processing be adjusted to reduce significant privacy risks?
Safeguards and Compensating Controls
Safeguards include various compensating controls or measures that may be implemented to protect individuals or reduce the risks or potential negative effects associated with the processing. These are likely identified in data protection impact assessments (DPIAs), for example:
data minimisation, de-identification, technical and organisational measures, privacy by default, additional transparency, extra layers of encryption, multi-factor authentication, data retention controls, restricted Access, opt-out mechanisms, hashing and other data protection-related technical security methods
Have the necessary safeguards been implemented?

Subject: RE: Regarding agreement and driver data
Hello
Like we mentioned eralier, then we can provide car owner data for the violations that is connected with parking.
Your request is not enough for giving out data for another violations (road traffic violations, including speed or red-light offences and non-compliance with Low Emission Zone (LEZ) regulation). You have to provide contracts with local authorities or state, where can be seen that You have rights to collect debt on the name of authotity.

Hello,
Thank you for your message and for the clarification regarding access to car owner data.
We confirm that our sole purpose for requesting access to restricted vehicle owner/user data is strictly related to processing of unpaid parking fines, road traffic violations (including speed or red-light offences), and non-compliance with Low Emission Zone (LEZ) regulations.
These violations are documented, and we act on behalf of relevant authorities or partners with proper mandates and legal grounds.
We fully understand and respect the limitation you mentioned and confirm that we are not requesting personal data for any other purpose outside the scope of traffic and parking enforcement.
Please let us know if any further documentation is required to support this.
Also, could you please clarify whether we are required to access the Traffic Register data specifically through X-Road, or is it also possible to use the standard DEP HTTPS service?
If X-Road is mandatory, could you provide guidance on registration and technical setup?
Looking forward to your confirmation.

JUSTIFIED LEGITIMATE INTEREST ANALYSIS
15th, October 2025
Data Controller: UAB TRAFIPARK, registry code 306362443, address
Savanorių pr. 123A-3, 03150 Vilnius, Lithuania
The purpose of personal data
processing:
The data will be used strictly for the purpose of vehicle
identification, ownership verification, and legal claim
processing (e.g., debt collection, contract enforcement, or
damage liability review)
Categories of personal data / Types of
personal data
Vehicle owner and user information, as well as vehicle
make, model, first registration date, and Euro emission
standard
A) Identification of Legitimate Interest
1. What is the purpose of the processing information?
The information is processed to identify vehicles, verify ownership, manage legal claims, and
notify drivers or owners about traffic violations or outstanding fines. Accurate data ensures legal
compliance and protects the company’s rights.
2. Is the processing necessary to achieve one or more of the Company’s objectives?
Yes. The processing of this information is necessary to achieve the Company’s objectives, as it
enables: (i) Accurate vehicle identification and ownership verification; (ii) Proper handling of
legal claims, such as debt collection, contract enforcement, and damage liability assessment;
(iii) Timely notification to drivers or owners regarding traffic violations, fines, or other legal
obligations (iv) Ensuring compliance with legal requirements and protecting the Company.
3. Is the processing necessary to achieve one or more of a third party?
Processing is necessary for a third party is required to: (i) Provide a service – e.g., sending an
invoice to a client using their data; (ii) Fulfill a contract – e.g., sharing delivery details with a
shipping company to complete an order. (iii) Meet legal obligations – e.g., reporting certain
information to tax authorities on behalf of a client.
4. Does the GDPR, the ePrivacy Regulation, or any other legal act identify the processing
operation as a legitimate activity through a positive outcome of a balancing test?
Yes. Under the GDPR, processing can be considered legitimate if a balancing test demonstrates
that the company’s legitimate interests outweigh the potential impact on individuals’ rights and
freedoms. The processing must be necessary for the purpose and proportionate, ensuring that
data subjects’ fundamental rights are not overridden.
5. Is the legitimate interest behind the processing “legitimate”?
Yes, it is. The legitimate interest behind the processing is lawful, genuine, and clearly defined,
such as improving services, ensuring security, or preventing fraud.
B) Necessity
6. Why is the processing operation necessary for the data controller?
The processing operation is necessary for the data controller because it enables the organization
to fulfill its contractual, legal, or operational obligations: (i) to perform a contract, such as
delivering goods or providing a service, the controller needs to process customer data (e.g.,
addresses, payment information); (ii) to comply with legal obligations, like reporting to tax
authorities or maintaining records for regulatory purposes; (iii) To protect legitimate business
interests, such as preventing fraud, ensuring IT security, or managing internal operations
efficiently.In all cases, the processing is essential for the data controller to achieve these
purposes, and no less intrusive method would suffice, making it necessary.
7. Why is the processing operation important for other parties to whom the data may be
disclosed (if relevant)?
The processing operation is important for other parties to whom the data may be disclosed
because it enables them to perform their roles or fulfill their obligations in relation to the data
subject or the data controller: (i) Service providers or contractors may need the data to deliver a
service, such as shipping companies needing customer addresses to complete deliveries; (ii)
Regulatory or legal authorities may require the data to ensure compliance with laws or to protect
public interests; (iii) Business partners may use the data to manage contracts, provide support,
or coordinate operations efficiently. In these cases, the processing is essential for these third
parties to carry out necessary activities, making it relevant and justified.
8. Is there another way to achieve the purpose?
No, there is no other way to achieve the purpose. The processing is necessary because it is the
only effective and proportionate method to fulfill the intended goal.
C) Balancing test
8. Can the individual reasonably expect such processing?
Yes. The individual can reasonably expect such processing, as the collection and processing of
personal data for debt recovery purposes are a common and foreseeable consequence of having
an unpaid financial obligation or fine. This expectation arises from the individual’s contractual
or legal relationship with the original creditor and from standard industry practices.
Furthermore, data subjects are typically informed of such processing through privacy notices
issued by the creditor or the debt collection agency, ensuring transparency and compliance with
data protection requirements.
9. Does the processing add value to the product or service used by the individual?
Indirectly, yes. While the primary purpose of the processing is to recover outstanding debts or
fines, it also contributes to maintaining the integrity and fairness of the service provided. By
ensuring that financial obligations are met, the company can continue to offer services on fair
terms to all customers and prevent misuse or financial loss. Therefore, the processing indirectly
supports the sustainability and reliability of the service.
10. Is the processing operation likely to negatively affect the individual’s rights?
The processing may have a limited negative impact on the individual’s rights, particularly
regarding privacy and reputation, as it involves handling personal and financial information.
However, these risks are minimized through strict compliance with data protection laws,
proportional data use, and secure handling of personal data. The processing is limited to what is
necessary for legitimate debt recovery purposes, and individuals are informed of their rights,
including the right to access, rectify, or object to the processing.
11. Could the processing operation result in unwarranted harm or distress to the
individual?
In general, the processing is not intended to cause harm or distress. However, there is a limited
risk that individuals may experience discomfort or stress when being contacted regarding unpaid
debts or fines. Such effects are considered proportionate to the legitimate purpose of debt
recovery and are mitigated by ensuring that all communications are respectful, necessary, and
compliant with legal and ethical standards. The company also limits data use to relevant
information and provides clear contact options for individuals to exercise their data protection
rights.
12. Would not carrying out the processing operation result in harm to the data controller?
Yes. If the processing were not carried out, the data controller would be unable to recover
outstanding debts or fines, resulting in financial loss and reduced operational efficiency.
This could also undermine the company’s ability to meet contractual or legal obligations
and affect its financial stability. Therefore, processing the data is necessary to protect the
legitimate business interests of the data controller.
13. Would not carrying out the processing operation result in harm to a third party?
Potentially, yes. If the debt collection process is not carried out, third parties—such as the
original creditor, suppliers, or other customers—could suffer financial or operational harm. For
example, unpaid debts may affect the creditor’s cash flow, ability to provide services, or fairness
in treating other customers. Processing the data is therefore necessary to protect the legitimate
interests of these third parties while remaining proportionate and compliant with data protection
principles.
14. Is the processing operation carried out in the interest of the data subject?
Not directly. The primary purpose of the processing is to recover outstanding debts or fines,
which serves the legitimate interests of the data controller and, in some cases, third parties.
While the processing may indirectly benefit the data subject by maintaining fair and sustainable
services, the operation is not primarily carried out for the individual’s personal interest.
Safeguards and transparency measures are implemented to minimize any negative impact on the
data subject.
15. Is the legitimate interest of the data subject balanced with the legitimate interest of the
party relying on the legitimate interest exemption?
Yes. The processing is conducted in a manner that balances the legitimate interests of the data
controller (recovering debts or fines) with the rights and interests of the data subject. The
company limits data collection and use to what is strictly necessary, ensures secure handling of
personal data, and provides clear information and rights to the individual. Measures such as
proportionality, transparency, and access to remedies are applied to ensure that the individual’s
interests are not overridden by the controller’s legitimate interest.
16. What is the relationship between the individual and the company?
The relationship is primarily a financial or contractual one. The individual owes a debt or has
an outstanding fine to the company's client, establishing a creditor-debtor relationship. The
company processes personal data in this context to recover amounts lawfully due, in line with
its legitimate interests and obligations under applicable law. There is no ongoing service
provision beyond managing the financial obligation unless otherwise specified by a separate
contract.
17. What is the nature of the data being processed? Does it include special category data?
The data being processed is primarily personal and financial in nature, including the individual’s
name, contact details, payment history, and information related to outstanding debts or fines. It
does not typically include special category data as defined under GDPR (e.g., health data, racial
or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or biometric data). The processing is strictly
limited to what is necessary for debt recovery and conducted in accordance with data protection
principles.
18. Does a bilateral relationship exist between the company and the individual whose data
is being processed? If yes, how close is the relationship?
Yes, a bilateral relationship exists, but it is limited in scope. The relationship is primarily
financial or contractual: the individual owes a debt or has an outstanding fine to the company
(or its client). The closeness of the relationship is minimal and transactional, focused solely on
the management and recovery of financial obligations. There is no ongoing personal or service-
based relationship beyond the debt or fine context.
19. Does the processing restrict or infringe upon the individual’s rights?
No, the processing is designed to comply with data protection laws and does not unduly restrict
or infringe upon the individual’s rights. Individuals retain their rights to access, rectify, object
to, or erase their data, and the company provides clear information on how these rights can be
exercised. Any impact on the individual is proportionate and limited to what is necessary for the
legitimate purpose of debt recovery.
20. Were the personal data obtained directly from the individual or indirectly?
The personal data may be obtained directly. Directly, the company may receive information
provided by the individual during initial transactions, registration, or communication with the
creditor. All data is processed in accordance with data protection principles.
21. Is there a relationship of subordination or power between the individual and the
company?
No, there is no formal relationship of subordination. The relationship is primarily financial or
contractual: the individual owes a debt or has an outstanding fine to the company (or its client).
While the company does have authority to pursue debt recovery, this authority is limited to the
legal and contractual obligations associated with the debt. There is no ongoing hierarchical or
employment-like power over the individual beyond what is necessary to enforce legitimate
financial obligations.
22. Is it likely that the individual would expect their data to be processed for this purpose?
Yes. Given the individual’s financial or contractual relationship with the company (or its client),
it is reasonable for the individual to expect that their personal data would be used to manage and
recover outstanding debts or fines. Such processing is standard practice in debt collection and is
typically communicated to the individual through privacy notices or contractual terms, making
the purpose foreseeable and aligned with the individual’s expectations.
23. Can the processing be considered intrusive or inappropriate? Would it be seen as such
by the individual or based on the context of the relationship?
Generally, the processing is not considered intrusive or inappropriate. The company processes
personal data solely for the legitimate purpose of recovering debts or fines, within legal and
contractual boundaries. While some individuals may feel discomfort when contacted about
outstanding obligations, this is proportionate and expected within the context of a creditor-
debtor relationship. Safeguards such as limited data use, respectful communication, and
transparency ensure the processing remains appropriate and lawful.
24. Have privacy terms been disclosed to the individual? How?
Yes. Privacy terms are typically disclosed to the individual through multiple channels, such as:
(i) Privacy notices provided by the original creditor at the time of entering into a contract or
financial agreement; (ii) Written communications or emails from the company explaining how
personal data will be used for debt recovery purposes; (iii) Publication on the company’s
website or in official contractual documentation. These disclosures ensure transparency and
compliance with data protection laws, allowing the individual to understand how their personal
data will be processed and to exercise their rights.
25. Can the individual whose data is being processed easily control or object to the
processing operation?
Yes. Individuals can exercise their rights under data protection law to control or object to the
processing of their personal data. The company provides clear information on how to submit
requests, including the right to access, rectify, restrict, or erase data, and the right to object to
debt recovery communications where applicable. These mechanisms ensure that the individual
retains control over their personal data while allowing the company to carry out its legitimate
debt recovery activities in compliance with legal requirements.
26. Can the scope of processing be adjusted to reduce significant privacy risks?
Yes. The company can limit the scope of processing to what is strictly necessary for debt
recovery, thereby reducing potential privacy risks. Measures include processing only relevant
personal and financial data, limiting access to authorized personnel, anonymizing or
pseudonymizing data where possible, and restricting communications to essential channels.
These adjustments help ensure proportionality and minimize the impact on the individual’s
privacy while still allowing the company to pursue legitimate debt recovery activities.
D) Safeguards and Compensating Controls
The company implements multiple safeguards and compensating controls to protect individuals
and reduce the risks or potential negative effects of processing personal data. These measures
include: (i) Data minimisation: Only collecting and processing data strictly necessary for debt
recovery; (ii) De-identification or pseudonymisation: Reducing the link between personal data
and the individual wherever possible; (iii) Technical and organisational measures: Ensuring
secure storage, access controls, and staff training; (iv) Privacy by default: Configuring systems
to process the minimum personal data needed for the purpose; (v)Transparency measures: Clear
communication to data subjects about the purpose and scope of processing; (vi) Encryption and
multi-factor authentication: Protecting data from unauthorised access; (vii) Data retention
controls: Retaining data only for as long as necessary to fulfill debt recovery purposes. (viii)
Restricted access: Limiting access to authorised personnel; (ix) These safeguards collectively
ensure that the processing is proportionate, secure, and compliant with applicable data protection
legislation, while mitigating potential negative impacts on the individual.
E) Conclusions
After assessing the legitimate interest balancing test, it can be concluded that the processing of
personal data by the company for the purpose of debt and fine recovery is lawful, proportionate,
and conducted in accordance with data protection principles. The processing serves a legitimate
interest of the company, and any potential impact on the rights and freedoms of the data subject
is mitigated by: (i) limiting data processing to what is necessary; (ii) implementing technical
and organizational safeguards; (iii) ensuring transparency through clear privacy notices; (iv)
providing mechanisms for individuals to exercise their rights; (v) applying measures to
minimize potential distress or harm.
Overall, the legitimate interest of the company is balanced against the rights and interests of the
individual, and the safeguards in place ensure that the processing is fair, secure, and
proportionate.
