recognised legitimate interests
Prescribed legitimate processing purposes treated as a lawful basis.
Definition
A statutory list of specified processing purposes (for example crime prevention, safeguarding, emergencies, intra‑group administrative transfers) that the Act treats as legitimate bases for lawful processing without requiring the usual individual balancing test; organisations relying on this ground must still satisfy necessity, proportionality and any mandated safeguards.
