(58) Načelo preglednosti zahteva, da so vse informacije, ki se nanašajo na javnost ali posameznika, na katerega se nanašajo osebni podatki, jedrnate, lahko dostopne in lahko razumljive ter izražene v jasnem in preprostem jeziku, kjer je ustrezno pa tudi vizualno prikazane.
Take informacije bi se lahko predložile v elektronski obliki, na primer na spletni strani, kadar so namenjene javnosti.
To je še zlasti pomembno v primerih, kadar posameznik, na katerega se nanašajo osebni podatki, zaradi velikega števila akterjev in tehnološke kompleksnosti težko ve in razume, ali se zbirajo osebni podatki, povezani z njim, kdo jih zbira in v kakšen namen, kot je to v primeru spletnega oglaševanja.
Glede na to, da otroci potrebujejo posebno varstvo, bi morale biti vse informacije in vsa komunikacija, pri katerih se obdelava nanaša na otroka, v tako jasnem in preprostem jeziku, da ga lahko otrok zlahka razume.
(58) The principle of transparency requires that any information addressed to the public or to the data subject be concise, easily accessible and easy to understand, and that clear and plain language and, additionally, where appropriate, visualisation be used.
Such information could be provided in electronic form, for example, when addressed to the public, through a website.
This is of particular relevance in situations where the proliferation of actors and the technological complexity of practice make it difficult for the data subject to know and understand whether, by whom and for what purpose personal data relating to him or her are being collected, such as in the case of online advertising.
Given that children merit specific protection, any information and communication, where processing is addressed to a child, should be in such a clear and plain language that the child can easily understand.
