- Do not transfer sensitive personal data (data touching a person's intimate sphere, or whose misuse could enable discrimination or serious risk, including racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical belief, union affiliation, political opinion, health, sexual orientation, or genetic or biometric data) unless the data subject gave explicit authorization or a narrow statutory exception applies.
- Take a data subject's consent to processing sensitive health data only when it is prior, irrefutable and express, a higher bar than ordinary consent.
- Process a patient's health data, as a health establishment or medical professional, only within your own care of that patient, and keep it confidential under professional secrecy.
