Analytics
Article 13(1)(e) of the GDPR requires that where personal data are collected from the data subject, the data controller must provide the data subject with information about “the recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data”.
Equivalent rules for data collected from someone other than the data subject are in Article 14(1)(e).
Although the GDPR refers to “categories of recipients”, the guidance from the European Data Protection Board on this subject states:
“The term ‘recipient’ is defined in Article 4.9 as ‘a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not’ [emphasis added]. As such, a recipient does not have to be a third party. Therefore, other data controllers, joint controllers and processors to whom data is transferred or disclosed are covered by the term ‘recipient’ and information on such recipients should be provided in addition to information on third party recipients. The actual (named) recipients of the personal data, or the categories of recipients, must be provided. In accordance with the principle of fairness, controllers must provide information on the recipients that is most meaningful for data subjects. In practice, this will generally be the named recipients, so that data subjects know exactly who has their personal data. If controllers opt to provide the categories of recipients, the information should be as specific as possible by indicating the type of recipient (i.e. by reference to the activities it carries out), the industry, sector and sub-sector and the location of the recipients.” https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/article29

GDPR
The GDPR requires that controllers disclose to data subjects detailed information about their processing of personal data.
Article 13(1) of the GDPR provides that:
“Where personal data relating to a data subject are collected from the data subject, the controller shall, at the time when personal data are obtained, provide the data subject with all of the following information: … (c) the purposes of the processing for which the personal data are intended as well as the legal basis for the processing; (d) where the processing is based on point (f) of Article 6(1), the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party”.
Article 14(1) of the GDPR provides that:
“Where personal data have not been obtained from the data subject, the controller shall provide the data subject with the following information: … (c) the purposes of the processing for which the personal data are intended as well as the legal basis for the processing; (d) the categories of personal data concerned …”.
Article 14(2) of the GDPR, which also applies in the case that the personal data have not been obtained from the data subject, provides that:
“In addition to the information referred to in paragraph 1, the controller shall provide the data subject with the following information necessary to ensure fair and transparent processing in respect of the data subject: … (b) where the processing is based on point (f) of Article 6(1), the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party … (f) from which source the personal data originate, and if applicable, whether it came from publicly accessible sources … “.
Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which is referred to in Articles 13 and 14, provides that:
“(1) Processing shall be lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies: … (f) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.”
As regards the identification of the source of personal data in the case that the personal data is not obtained from the data subject, the guidance from the European Data Protection Board states that:
“The specific source of the data should be provided unless it is not possible to do so … . If the specific source is not named then information provided should include: the nature of the sources (i.e. publicly / privately held sources) and the types of organisation / industry / sector.”

Note that, while Article 14 of the GDPR provides that information about “the categories of personal data concerned” must be supplied to data subjects, Article 13 does not include an equivalent provision. Nonetheless, we have included references to general categories of data in this document, because this facilitates the identification of particular purposes of processing and the legal bases of processing – information which does need to be provided under Article 13.
The UK Information Commissioner’s Office website provides useful guidance in relation to the selection of the legal bases for processing: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/lawful-basis-for-processing/
