Article 13 – Information to be provided where personal data are collected from the data subject

Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 shall not apply where there are reasonable grounds to assume that the data subject already has the information referred to in points (a) and (c) of paragraph 1 and the personal data are collected in the context of a direct and clearly circumscribed relationship between data subjects and a controller exercising an activity that is not likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects nor involve complex processing operations, the processing of large amounts of personal data, special categories of personal data, or personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences. The first subparagraph shall not apply where the controller intends to process the data collected from the data subject for other purposes, transmits the data to other recipients or categories of recipients, transfers the data to a third country, carries out automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1), or the processing is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects within the meaning of Article 35.

When the further processing takes place for scientific research purposes by the same controller and where and insofar as the provision of information referred to under paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 proves impossible or would involve a disproportionate effort or in so far as the obligation referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that further processing, subject to the conditions and safeguards referred to in Article 89(1), the controller does not need to provide the information referred to under paragraphs 1, 2 and 3. In such cases the controller shall take appropriate measures to protect the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including making the information publicly available.
