Processing Operations

Processing operations explain why your flock is using a person’s data - what the purpose is, and what the legal basis is for doing so.

For example, the purpose is:
"We use your email address to send you our weekly newsletter."

The legal reason for doing this in this case is:

"You gave us permission (consent) to receive the newsletter, so we use your email for that purpose."

It’s important that all admins understand:

  • Every use of personal data must have a clear purpose

  • That purpose must be linked to a valid legal basis (e.g. consent, contract, legitimate interest)

  • Only the data needed for that purpose should be processed

Keep processing transparent, lawful, and limited to what’s necessary.
