If it does not reveal who the person is, it will not be necessary to apply all the GDPR rules.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3\" style=\"color:#000000\"><strong>Principle of purpose limitation<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Data collected for a specific purpose may be reused for scientific research, statistical purposes, or archiving, provided that measures are taken to protect individuals, such as concealing identities or using only the data that is strictly necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4\" style=\"color:#000000\"><strong>Exceptions for the processing of special categories of data<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sensitive data has strict protections, but there will be two very specific exceptions:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They may be used to train artificial intelligence systems, but only in a limited way and with very strict measures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They may be used to verify identity through biometrics, provided that the person retains control of the process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5\" style=\"color:#000000\"><strong>Duty to inform<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Companies must always report how they use data, but the Digital Omnibus allows for flexibility in this obligation when the risk is low and the information is already known to the individual. However, this flexibility does not apply when there are international transfers, automated decisions, or processing that may generate a high risk. In research, flexibility may also be allowed when reporting on a one-to-one basis is impossible or disproportionate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6\" style=\"color:#000000\"><strong>Automated decisions<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The permitted cases are not expanded, but it is clarified that a decision may be &#8220;necessary for a contract&#8221; even if a manual alternative exists, providing greater legal certainty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7\" style=\"color:#000000\"><strong>Security breaches<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Notification will only be mandatory when there is a high risk probability, with an extended deadline of 96 hours and a future one-stop shop integrated with cybersecurity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8\" style=\"color:#000000\"><strong>Impact assessments<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Progress towards European harmonization of criteria.
