- Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures (integrity and confidentiality).

- Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller
