In Article 14, paragraph 5a is added:
Where the controller is an association, foundation, or other non-profit organisation, and the personal data have not been obtained from the data subject, paragraphs 1 to 5 shall not apply where providing the information would require a disproportionate effort and the processing is limited to the internal purposes described in Article 13(6). In such cases, the controller shall adopt appropriate transparency measures.
Justification
Non-profit organisations may receive personal data indirectly in the context of volunteer coordination, beneficiary support, charitable activities or membership-related administration. In such situations, providing individual information notices to each data subject can require disproportionate effort, particularly for small or volunteer-based organisations. This amendment allows proportionate transparency measures, such as public notices or online publication, where the processing remains limited to low-risk internal purposes. It preserves transparency while avoiding unnecessary bureaucracy for civil-society organisations.
