I'm not entirely sure about that. If data is legally collected by a company, who's to say the government can't legally purchase it for their own ends?
- cccbbbaaa 3y agoUnder GDPR, if you process personal data, you are required to have a clear scope: which data, why, for how long is it retained, under which legal basis (articles 5 and 6), etc. Selling data later would be a misappropriation of legal basis.

- nehal3m 3y agoInteresting, that's good to know. What happens if the state decides to appropriate the data rather than sell it?
