Settledness

As of
Open questions
Does "a sabiendas" (knowingly) in Article 34 quáter letter e) require that the controller actually knew the data were sensitive or a child's or adolescent's, or does it also reach a controller that collected such data in bulk without sorting it first?

What it makes you log

Logging duty

Article 35 sets the sanction tiers and Articles 42 to 45 set the sanction procedure and the judicial claim; none of them requires a controller to make or keep a log or record. Article 42(i) gives the Agency broad powers to request records or reports in a sanction procedure, which is a power to demand information and names no record the controller must keep. Article 34 ter makes omitting the breach communications or the breach register an infraction, which enforces the register of Article 14 sexies on the row that carries it, and is not cited here. No period for keeping any record is stated, and the sections cited here carry no territorial clause, so the hook is empty.
