• Do not process data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical convictions or trade-union membership, nor health data including genetic data, unless the data subject gave express consent, a public interest or legal provision authorises it, or the ANPDP authorised it.
• Where you process genetic data as a doctor or biologist for preventive medicine, diagnosis or care, or process data a person has manifestly made public, or process sensitive data to establish or defend a legal claim, rely on the specific article 18 ground rather than express consent.
• If you are the judicial authority, a body legally empowered to investigate offences, a judicial auxiliary or the prison administration processing personal data under Title V bis for the prevention or detection of offences, investigations, inquiries, criminal prosecutions or the execution of sentences, put in place technical and organisational measures giving an appropriate level of protection for sensitive and biometric data.
