Some correlations between the Principles relating to personal data processing and the records of Processing Activities

Abstract

In this short paper, we intend to examine how the records of processing activities can facilitate the operator's obligation to demonstrate compliance with the principles relating to the processing of personal data and we will argue that the record of processing activities is an instrument that can support the analysis of the implications of any processing and the controller should keep extended records of processing activities in order to also demonstrate at least in part the compliance with the principles set out in article 5 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
