The GDPR classifies certain data as belonging to “special categories”, as follows:

  • Membership to a trade-union;
  • Genetic data;
  • Biometric data;

The GDPR requires that consent is provided by the data subject for all types of personal data, including those pertaining to the special categories set out above and otherwise. Consent must be explicitly provided.

When Glemnet Ltd requests sensitive data from data subjects, it is required to confirm why the information is required and how it will be used.
