Adding Data Elements

Data elements are of two kinds:

Normal Data Elements: Any information that relates to an identified or identifiable living individual. Different pieces of information, which collected together can lead to the identification of a particular person, also constitute normal data elements like name, surname, address, email ID, etc.

Special Data Elements: Certain types of sensitive personal data are subject to additional protection under the GDPR. These are listed under Article 9 of the GDPR as “special categories” of personal data. The special categories are:

• Personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin.

• Political opinions.

• Religious or philosophical beliefs.

• Trade union membership.

• Genetic data and biometric data processed for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person.

• Data concerning health.

• Data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation.
