The general aim of the GDPR is to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons in relation to processing, and in particular to protect their right to the protection of personal data, and to facilitate the free flow of personal data within the European Union (Article 1). In order for this, the Controller lays down rules relating to the processing of personal data and rules relating to the free movement of personal data, the most important aspect of which is to emphasize the responsibility of the Controller who can be either a  private or a public body. The principles of data protection should apply to any information concerning an identified or identifiable natural person. This Document contains the management and processing principles of Customers’ data given by the Customer(s). The scope of this Regulation applies to „the processing of personal data wholly or partly by automated means and to the processing other than by automated means of personal data which form part of a filing system or are intended to form part of a filing system”.
