What it requires

  • Where this Regulation binds your processing, do not treat Personal data that reveal racial or ethnic origin, political opinions or religious convictions, or genetic data, biometric data that identify a natural person uniquely, health data or other situations connected with a person's private life, unless one of the cases in Article 6, paragraph 2 applies, such as the explicit consent of the Interested party for specific purposes.

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

What it makes you log

Article 6 sets a prohibition on treating special categories of data and the cases that lift it. It requires no log or record; the Register of treatment activities is Article 9, which this row does not cite.
