Which of the following is NOT a legal basis for processing personal data under GDPR Article 6?

Legal Obligation
Contractual Necessity
Public Relation Efforts
Legitimate Interests

The correct answer is: Public Relation Efforts

The correct response identifies "Public Relation Efforts" as not being a legal basis for processing personal data under GDPR Article 6. The GDPR provides specific legal bases for data processing, which include the necessity for a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, the protection of vital interests, consent from the data subject, performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority, and legitimate interests pursued by the data processor or a third party. Public relation efforts do not fit into any of the legal bases outlined in Article 6; they are typically associated with promoting a company or organization rather than fulfilling a necessity based on legal obligations, contracts, or other recognized grounds for processing personal data. Therefore, processing personal data solely for public relations purposes cannot be justified under GDPR without a specific legal basis.
