Premessa 32
Recital 32
(32) Il-kunsens għandu jingħata b’att affermattiv ċar li jistabbilixxi indikazzjoni mogħtija liberament, speċifika, infurmata u mhux ambigwa tal-qbil tas-suġġett tad-data li huwa jaqbel li tiġi pproċessata data personali b’rabta miegħu, pereżempju b’dikjarazzjoni bil-miktub, inkluż b’mod elettroniku, jew bil-fomm.
Dan jista’ jinkludi l-immarkar ta’ kaxxa meta jżur sit elettroniku tal-internet, l-għażla ta’ settings tekniċi għas-servizzi tas-soċjetà tal-informazzjoni jew xi dikjarazzjoni jew imġiba oħra li f’dan il-kuntest jindikaw b’mod ċar l-aċċettazzjoni tas-suġġett tad-data tal-ipproċessar propost tad-data personali tiegħu.
Is-silenzju, kaxxi mmarkati minn qabel jew in-nuqqas ta’ attività għaldaqstant ma għandhomx jitqiesu bħala kunsens.
Il-kunsens għandu jkopri l-attivitajiet tal-ipproċessar kollha li jsiru għall-istess fini jew finijiet.
Meta l-ipproċessar ikollu diversi finijiet, għandu jingħata kunsens għalihom kollha.
Jekk il-kunsens tas-suġġett tad-data jkollu jingħata wara talba b’mod elettroniku, it-talba għandha tkun ċara, konċiża u li ma toħloqx tfixkil bla bżonn għall-użu tas-servizz li tkun qed tiġi pprovduta għalih.
(32) Consent should be given by a clear affirmative act establishing a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her, such as by a written statement, including by electronic means, or an oral statement.
This could include ticking a box when visiting an internet website, choosing technical settings for information society services or another statement or conduct which clearly indicates in this context the data subject’s acceptance of the proposed processing of his or her personal data.
Silence, pre-ticked boxes or inactivity should not therefore constitute consent.
Consent should cover all processing activities carried out for the same purpose or purposes.
When the processing has multiple purposes, consent should be given for all of them.
If the data subject’s consent is to be given following a request by electronic means, the request must be clear, concise and not unnecessarily disruptive to the use of the service for which it is provided.
