Question
The seven stages of the data life cycle
Answer
Create/collect/extract, store, process, analyse, access, preserve, reuse.
Question
Which stage causes most argument?
Answer
Reuse — data collected for one purpose used for another the person never agreed to.
Question
What can go wrong when data is processed?
Answer
Cleaning can drop the awkward records, so the result looks tidier and more certain than the truth.
Question
Why does GDPR attach to purpose, not data?
Answer
Because reuse is the stage that changes what the data does to a person, so each purpose needs its own lawful basis (in force 2018).
