Premessa 97
Recital 97
(97) Fejn l-ipproċessar jitwettaq minn awtorità pubblika, minbarra l-qrati jew l-awtoritajiet ġudizzjarji indipendenti meta jaġixxu fil-kapaċità ġudizzjarja tagħhom, fejn, fis-settur privat, l-ipproċessar jitwettaq minn kontrollur li l-attivitajiet prinċipali tiegħu jikkonsistu minn operazzjonijiet ta’ pproċessar li jeħtieġu monitoraġġ regolari u sistematiku tas-suġġetti tad-data fuq skala kbira, jew fejn l-attivitajiet ewlenin tal-kontrollur jew tal-proċessur jikkonsistu fl-ipproċessar ta’ skala kbira ta’ kategoriji speċjali ta’ data personali u data relatata ma’ kundanni kriminali u reati, persuna b’għarfien espert tal-liġi u l-prattiki dwar il-protezzjoni tad-data għandha tgħin lill-kontrollur jew lill-proċessur jissorvelja l-konformità interna ma’ dan ir-Regolament.
Fis-settur privat, l-attivitajiet prinċipali ta’ kontrollur għandhom rabta mal-attivitajiet primarji tiegħu u m’għandhomx rabta mal-ipproċessar ta’ data personali bħala attivitajiet anċillari.
Il-livell meħtieġ ta’ għarfien espert għandu jkun stabbilit b’mod partikolari skont l-operazzjonijiet ta’ pproċessar tad-data li jsiru u l-protezzjoni meħtieġa għad-data personali pproċessata mill-kontrollur jew mill-proċessur.
Tali uffiċjali tal-protezzjoni tad-data, kemm jekk ikunu impjegati tal-kontrollur kif ukoll jekk ma jkunux, għandhom ikunu f’pożizzjoni li jwettqu d-dmirijiet u l-kompiti tagħhom b’mod indipendenti.
(97) Where the processing is carried out by a public authority, except for courts or independent judicial authorities when acting in their judicial capacity, where, in the private sector, processing is carried out by a controller whose core activities consist of processing operations that require regular and systematic monitoring of the data subjects on a large scale, or where the core activities of the controller or the processor consist of processing on a large scale of special categories of personal data and data relating to criminal convictions and offences, a person with expert knowledge of data protection law and practices should assist the controller or processor to monitor internal compliance with this Regulation.
In the private sector, the core activities of a controller relate to its primary activities and do not relate to the processing of personal data as ancillary activities.
The necessary level of expert knowledge should be determined in particular according to the data processing operations carried out and the protection required for the personal data processed by the controller or the processor.
Such data protection officers, whether or not they are an employee of the controller, should be in a position to perform their duties and tasks in an independent manner.
