Module 2
Lawful bases, consent and legitimate interests
The first question the law asks of any use of personal data is: what is your legal basis? You cannot simply say that you need the data. There are six permitted bases, and you must choose one before you start, and be able to say why. This module teaches the six, the two that cause most trouble (consent and legitimate interests), and the added hurdle for sensitive data. These are exactly the questions to ask when a new AI tool arrives.
