Relevant quote:

> Individuals regularly disclose personal information such as their names, photographs, telephone numbers, birth date and address while engaged in a whole range of everyday activities.This personal data may be collected and processed for a wide variety of legitimate purposes such as business transactions, joining clubs, applying for a job, and so on.

> Nonetheless, the privacy rights of individuals supplying their personal data must be respected by anyone collecting and processing that data.
