Is it really necessary when you take photos for your private needs, to go to the people in the street, in the park and ask – Do you agree that I take a photo of you for my private needs?
GDPR Privacy explains that the General Data Protection Regulation does not apply to the processing of personal data carried out by a natural person only in the course of a personal or household event. This means that if you do not intend to show the resulting photos beyond private correspondence or to a small circle of friends on social networks for personal purposes, then the mentioned actions with the photos do not fall under this scope.
Article 2, paragraph 2, subparagraph c) of the General Data Protection Regulation explains that this Regulation does not apply to such processing of personal data, which is carried out by a natural person and is not related to professional or commercial activity.
In the sense of the General Data Protection Regulation, personal or household activities are activities which are closely and objectively related to the private life of the given person and which do not significantly affect the personal sphere of other persons.
These activities have no professional or commercial aspects and are limited to personal or household activities, such as storing family or private pictures on a computer, creating a list of contact information for friends and family, correspondence, etc.
Sharing of information in the private domain includes sharing among family, a limited circle of friends, or a circle of persons limited in size based on a personal relationship or a certain degree of trust.
