Core GDPR Data Privacy Principles

GDPR is built around seven core data privacy principles, which guide all aspects of personal data processing:

  1. Lawfulness, fairness, and transparency

  2. Purpose limitation

  3. Data minimization

  4. Accuracy

  5. Storage limitation

  6. Integrity and confidentiality (security)

  7. Accountability

Adhering to these principles ensures that data processing respects individuals’ rights and maintains public trust.

Embedding GDPR principles into daily operations also supports alignment with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 frameworks.
