(47) Legitimni interesi voditelja obrade, među ostalim onih interesa voditelja obrade kojem se osobni podaci mogu otkriti ili treće strane, mogu predstavljati pravnu osnovu za obradu pod uvjetom da interesi ili temeljna prava i slobode ispitanika nemaju prednost, uzimajući u obzir razumna očekivanja ispitanika koja se temelje na njihovom odnosu s voditeljem obrade.
Takav legitiman interes mogao bi na primjer postojati u slučaju relevantnog i odgovarajućeg odnosa ispitanika i voditelja obrade u situacijama poput one kada je ispitanik klijent voditelja obrade ili u njegovoj službi.
U svakom slučaju postojanje legitimnog interesa zahtijevalo bi pažljivu procjenu, među ostalim i toga može li ispitanik u vrijeme i u kontekstu prikupljanja osobnih podataka razumno očekivati obradu u dotičnu svrhu.
Interesi i temeljna prava ispitanika posebno bi mogli nadvladati interes voditelja obrade ako se osobni podaci obrađuju u okolnostima u kojima ispitanici razumno ne očekuju daljnju obradu.
Budući da je zakonodavac dužan zakonski odrediti pravnu osnovu za obradu osobnih podataka koju provode tijela javne vlasti, ta pravna osnova ne bi se smjela primjenjivati na obradu koju provode tijela javne vlasti pri izvršavanju svojih zadaća.
Obrada osobnih podataka koja je nužna u svrhe sprečavanja prijevara također predstavlja legitiman interes dotičnog voditelja obrade podataka.
Može se smatrati da postoji legitiman interes kod obrade osobnih podataka provedene za potrebe izravnog marketinga.
(47) The legitimate interests of a controller, including those of a controller to which the personal data may be disclosed, or of a third party, may provide a legal basis for processing, provided that the interests or the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overriding, taking into consideration the reasonable expectations of data subjects based on their relationship with the controller.
Such legitimate interest could exist for example where there is a relevant and appropriate relationship between the data subject and the controller in situations such as where the data subject is a client or in the service of the controller.
At any rate the existence of a legitimate interest would need careful assessment including whether a data subject can reasonably expect at the time and in the context of the collection of the personal data that processing for that purpose may take place.
The interests and fundamental rights of the data subject could in particular override the interest of the data controller where personal data are processed in circumstances where data subjects do not reasonably expect further processing.
Given that it is for the legislator to provide by law for the legal basis for public authorities to process personal data, that legal basis should not apply to the processing by public authorities in the performance of their tasks.
The processing of personal data strictly necessary for the purposes of preventing fraud also constitutes a legitimate interest of the data controller concerned.
The processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes may be regarded as carried out for a legitimate interest.
