... (111) Għandha tiġi prevista l-possibbiltà ta' trasferimenti f'ċerti ċirkostanzi fejn is-suġġett tad-data jkun ta l-kunsens espliċitu tiegħu, fejn it-trasferiment ikun okkażjonali u neċessarju fir-rigward ta' kuntratt jew talba legali, irrispettivament minn jekk dan ikunx fi proċedura ġudizzjarja jew fi proċedura amministrattiva jew extraġudizzjarja, inklużi proċeduri quddiem korpi regolatorji. Għandha tkun prevista l-possibbiltà ta' trasferimenti fejn dawn ikunu meħtieġa minn raġunijiet importanti ta' interess pubbliku stabbiliti fil-liġi tal-Unjoni jew ta' Stat Membru jew fejn it-trasferiment isir minn reġistru stabbilit bil-liġi u maħsub għall-konsultazzjoni mill-pubbliku jew minn persuni li jkollhom interess leġittimu. F'dan l-aħħar każ dan it-trasferiment ma għandux jinvolvi d-data personali kollha jew kategoriji sħaħ tad-data li tinsab fir-reġistru u, meta r-reġistru huwa maħsub għall-konsultazzjoni mill-pubbliku jew persuni li jkollhom interess leġittimu, it-trasferiment għandu jsir biss fuq it-talba ta' dawk il-persuni jew, jekk sejrin ikunu r-riċevituri, filwaqt illi jitqiesu għalkollox l-interessi u d-drittijiet fundamentali tas-suġġett tad-data. ...
... (111) Provisions should be made for the possibility for transfers in certain circumstances where the data subject has given his or her explicit consent, where the transfer is occasional and necessary in relation to a contract or a legal claim, regardless of whether in a judicial procedure or whether in an administrative or any out-of-court procedure, including procedures before regulatory bodies. Provision should also be made for the possibility for transfers where important grounds of public interest laid down by Union or Member State law so require or where the transfer is made from a register established by law and intended for consultation by the public or persons having a legitimate interest. In the latter case, such a transfer should not involve the entirety of the personal data or entire categories of the data contained in the register and, when the register is intended for consultation by persons having a legitimate interest, the transfer should be made only at the request of those persons or, if they are to be the recipients, taking into full account the interests and fundamental rights of the data subject. ...
... (73) Ir-restrizzjonijiet dwar prinċipji speċifiċi u d-drittijiet ta' informazzjoni, aċċess għal u rettifika jew tħassir ta' data personali, id-dritt għall-portabbiltà tad-data, id-dritt għall-oġġezzjoni, id-deċiżjonijiet ibbażati fuq it-tfassil ta' profili, kif ukoll il-komunikazzjoni ta' ksur ta' data personali lil suġġett tad-data u ċerti obbligi relatati tal-kontrolluri jistgħu jiġu imposti mil-liġi tal-Unjoni jew ta' Stat Membru, sa fejn ikun meħtieġ u proporzjonat f'soċjetà demokratika biex tiġi ssalvagwardjata s-sigurtà pubblika, inkluża l-protezzjoni tal-ħajja tal-bniedem speċjalment b'reazzjoni għal diżastri naturali jew ikkawżati mill-bniedem, il-prevenzjoni, l-investigazzjoni u l-prosekuzzjoni ta' reati kriminali jew l-eżekuzzjoni ta' pieni kriminali, inkluż is-salvagwardja kontra u l-prevenzjoni tat-theddidiet għas-sigurtà pubblika, jew ksur ta' etika għal professjonijiet regolati, objettivi importanti oħrajn ta' interessi pubbliku ġenerali tal-Unjoni jew ta' Stat Membru, b'mod partikolari interess ekonomiku jew finanzjarju importanti tal-Unjoni jew ta' Stat Membru, iż-żamma ta' reġistri pubbliċi miżmuma għal raġunijiet ta' interess pubbliku ġenerali, ipproċessar ulterjuri tad-data personali arkivjata sabiex jipprovdi informazzjoni speċifika relatata mal-imġiba politika taħt reġimi preċedenti fi stati totalitarji jew il-protezzjoni tas-suġġett tad-data jew id-drittijiet u l-libertajiet ta' persuni oħrajn, inklużi l-protezzjoni soċjali, is-saħħa pubblika u finijiet umanitarji. Dawk ir-restrizzjonijiet għandhom ikunu konformi mar-rekwiżiti stabbiliti fil-Karta u fil-Konvenzjoni Ewropea għall-Protezzjoni tad-Drittijiet tal-Bniedem u tal-Libertajiet Fundamentali. ...
... (73) Restrictions concerning specific principles and the rights of information, access to and rectification or erasure of personal data, the right to data portability, the right to object, decisions based on profiling, as well as the communication of a personal data breach to a data subject and certain related obligations of the controllers may be imposed by Union or Member State law, as far as necessary and proportionate in a democratic society to safeguard public security, including the protection of human life especially in response to natural or manmade disasters, the prevention, investigation and prosecution of criminal offences or the execution of criminal penalties, including the safeguarding against and the prevention of threats to public security, or of breaches of ethics for regulated professions, other important objectives of general public interest of the Union or of a Member State, in particular an important economic or financial interest of the Union or of a Member State, the keeping of public registers kept for reasons of general public interest, further processing of archived personal data to provide specific information related to the political behaviour under former totalitarian state regimes or the protection of the data subject or the rights and freedoms of others, including social protection, public health and humanitarian purposes. Those restrictions should be in accordance with the requirements set out in the Charter and in the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. ...
... (47) L-interessi leġittimi ta' kontrollur inklużi dawk ta' kontrollur li lilu tista' tiġi żvelata d-data personali jew ta' parti terza, jistgħu jipprovdu bażi legali għall-ipproċessar, sakemm l-interessi jew id-drittijiet u l-libertajiet fundamentali tas-suġġett tad-data ma jkunux aktar importanti, b'kont meħud tal-aspettattivi raġonevoli tas-suġġetti tad-data abbażi tar-relazzjoni tagħhom mal-kontrollur. Tali interess leġittimu jista' jeżisti pereżempju fejn ikun hemm relazzjoni rilevanti u adatta bejn is-suġġett tad-data u l-kontrollur f'sitwazzjonijiet bħal fejn is-suġġett tad-data jkun klijent jew fis-servizz tal-kontrollur. Fi kwalunkwe każ il-preżenza ta' interess leġittimu tkun teħtieġ valutazzjoni bir-reqqa inkluż dwar jekk is-suġġett tad-data jkunx jista' raġonevolment jistenna, fil-mument u fil-kuntest tal-ġbir tad-data personali, li l-ipproċessar għal dak il-fini jkun jista' jsir. L-interessi u d-drittijiet fundamentali tas-suġġett tad-data jistgħu, b'mod partikolari, isiru iktar importanti mill-interess tal-kontrollur tad-data fejn tkun ipproċessata data personali f'ċirkostanzi fejn is-suġġetti tad-data jistennew b'mod raġonevoli li ma jsirx iktar ipproċessar. Minħabba li hija r-responsabbiltà tal-leġiżlatur li jipprovdi bil-liġi l-bażi legali għall-awtoritajiet pubbliċi sabiex jipproċessaw id-data personali, dik il-bażi ma għandhiex tapplika għall-ipproċessar mill-awtoritajiet pubbliċi fit-twettiq tal-kompiti tagħhom. L-ipproċessar ta' data personali sal-punt strettament meħtieġ għall-finijiet tal-prevenzjoni u l-monitoraġġ ta' frodi wkoll jikkostitwixxi interess leġittimu tal-kontrollur tad-data kkonċernat. L-ipproċessar ta' data personali għal finijiet ta' kummerċjalizzazzjoni diretta jista' jitqies li twettaq għal interess leġittimu. ...
... (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. ...
... (112) Dawk id-derogi għandhom japplikaw b'mod partikolari għal trasferimenti ta' data meħtieġa u neċessarji għal raġunijiet importanti ta' interess pubbliku, pereżempju f'każijiet ta' skambju bejn awtoritajiet tal-kompetittività, amministrazzjonijiet tat-taxxa jew tad-dwana, bejn awtoritajiet superviżorji finanzjarji, bejn servizzi kompetenti għal kwistjonijiet ta' sigurtà soċjali, jew għas-saħħa pubblika, pereżempju fil-każ ta' traċċar ta' kuntatti għal mard li jittieħed jew sabiex jitnaqqas u/jew jiġi eliminat id-doping fl-isport. Trasferiment ta' data personali għandu wkoll jitqies bħala legali fejn ikun meħtieġ għall-protezzjoni ta' interess li hu essenzjali għall-interessi vitali, inkluża l-integrità fiżika jew il-ħajja tas-suġġett tad-data jew ta' persuna oħra, jekk is-suġġett tad-data ma jkunx jista' jagħti l-kunsens. Fin-nuqqas ta' deċiżjoni ta' adegwatezza, id-dritt tal-Unjoni jew il-liġi tal-Istat Membru tista', għal raġunijiet importanti ta' interess pubbliku, apposta tistabbilixxi limiti għat-trasferiment ta' kategoriji speċifiċi ta' data lejn pajjiż terz jew organizzazzjoni internazzjonali. L-Istati Membri għandhom jagħtu notifika dwar tali dispożizzjonijiet lill-Kummissjoni. Kwalunkwe trasferiment lil organizzazzjoni umanitarja internazzjonali ta' data personali ta' suġġett tad-data li mhuwiex fiżikament jew legalment kapaċi li jagħti kunsens, bil-ħsieb li jitwettaq kompitu dovut taħt il-Konvenzjonijiet ta' Ġinevra jew li jkun hemm konformità mad-dritt umanitarju internazzjonali applikabbli f'kunflitti armati, jista' jitqies bħala neċessarju għal raġuni importanti ta' interess pubbliku jew għaliex ikun fl-interess vitali tas-suġġett tad-data. ...
... (112) Those derogations should in particular apply to data transfers required and necessary for important reasons of public interest, for example in cases of international data exchange between competition authorities, tax or customs administrations, between financial supervisory authorities, between services competent for social security matters, or for public health, for example in the case of contact tracing for contagious diseases or in order to reduce and/or eliminate doping in sport. A transfer of personal data should also be regarded as lawful where it is necessary to protect an interest which is essential for the data subject's or another person's vital interests, including physical integrity or life, if the data subject is incapable of giving consent. In the absence of an adequacy decision, Union or Member State law may, for important reasons of public interest, expressly set limits to the transfer of specific categories of data to a third country or an international organisation. Member States should notify such provisions to the Commission. Any transfer to an international humanitarian organisation of personal data of a data subject who is physically or legally incapable of giving consent, with a view to accomplishing a task incumbent under the Geneva Conventions or to complying with international humanitarian law applicable in armed conflicts, could be considered to be necessary for an important reason of public interest or because it is in the vital interest of the data subject. ...
... (46) L-ipproċessar tad-data personali għandu wkoll jitqies bħala legali fejn ikun meħtieġ biex jiġi protett interess li huwa essenzjali għall-ħajja tas-suġġett tad-data jew dak ta' persuna fiżika oħra. L-ipproċessar ta' data personali abbażi tal-interess vitali ta' persuna fiżika oħra fil-prinċipju għandu jsir biss fejn l-ipproċessar ma jistax jibbaża manifestament fuq bażi legali oħra. Xi tipi ta' pproċessar jistgħu jservu kemm raġunijiet importanti ta' interess pubbliku u interessi vitali tas-suġġett tad-data bħal pereżempju meta l-ipproċessar ikun meħtieġ għal finijiet umanitarji, inkluż għall-monitoraġġ ta' epidemiji u t-tixrid tagħhom jew f'sitwazzjonijiet ta' emerġenzi umanitarji, b'mod partikolari f'sitwazzjonijiet ta' diżastri naturali u diżastri kkawżati mill-bniedem. ...
... (46) The processing of personal data should also be regarded to be lawful where it is necessary to protect an interest which is essential for the life of the data subject or that of another natural person. Processing of personal data based on the vital interest of another natural person should in principle take place only where the processing cannot be manifestly based on another legal basis. Some types of processing may serve both important grounds of public interest and the vital interests of the data subject as for instance when processing is necessary for humanitarian purposes, including for monitoring epidemics and their spread or in situations of humanitarian emergencies, in particular in situations of natural and man-made disasters. ...
