(2) | ‘ processing’ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal_data or on sets of personal_data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction; |
(3) | ‘restriction of processing’ means the marking of stored personal_data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future; |
(4) | ‘ profiling’ means any form of automated processing of personal_data consisting of the use of personal_data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements; |
(5) | ‘ pseudonymisation’ means the processing of personal_data in such a manner that the personal_data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal_data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person; |
(6) | ‘ filing_system’ means any structured set of personal_data which are accessible according to specific criteria, whether centralised, decentralised or dispersed on a functional or geographical basis; |

(8) | ‘ processor’ means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal_data on behalf of the controller; |

(10) | ‘ third_party’ means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal_data; |
(11) | ‘ consent’ of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal_data relating to him or her; |
(12) | ‘ personal_data breach’ means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal_data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed; |
(13) | ‘ genetic_data’ means personal_data relating to the inherited or acquired genetic characteristics of a natural person which give unique information about the physiology or the health of that natural person and which result, in particular, from an analysis of a biological sample from the natural person in question; |
(14) | ‘ biometric_data’ means personal_data resulting from specific technical processing relating to the physical, physiological or behavioural characteristics of a natural person, which allow or confirm the unique identification of that natural person, such as facial images or dactyloscopic data; |
(15) | ‘ data_concerning_health’ means personal_data related to the physical or mental health of a natural person, including the provision of health care services, which reveal information about his or her health status; |
(16) | ‘ main_establishment’ means:

(21) | ‘ supervisory_authority’ means an independent public authority which is established by a Member State pursuant to Article 51; |
(22) | ‘ supervisory_authority concerned’ means a supervisory_authority which is concerned by the processing of personal_data because:
|
(23) | ‘cross-border processing’ means either:
|
(24) | ‘ relevant_and_reasoned_objection’ means an objection to a draft decision as to whether there is an infringement of this Regulation, or whether envisaged action in relation to the controller or processor complies with this Regulation, which clearly demonstrates the significance of the risks posed by the draft decision as regards the fundamental rights and freedoms of data subjects and, where applicable, the free flow of personal_data within the Union; |
(25) | ‘ information_society_service’ means a service as defined in point (b) of Article 1(1) of Directive (EU) 2015/1535 of the European Parliament and of the Council (19); |
