The Household exemption
Article 2 defines the material scope of application of the General Data Protection Regulation. According to the principle of Art. 2 (1) GDPR, the GDPR applies to the wholly or partially automated processing of personal data and to certain non-automated data processing operations.
However, some exceptions to this principle are defined in the following paragraphs of Art. 2. One reason for not having to comply with the numerous requirements of the GDPR is the intervention of the so-called household exemption from Art. 2(2)(c) of the GDPR. According to this provision, all data processing operations are not subject to the GDPR that are carried out by natural persons for the exercise of exclusively personal or family activities
In contrast, economic activities, regardless of their nature, are no longer subject to the household exemption of Article 2(2)(c) of the GDPR. This also applies to data processing operations that do not serve economic purposes, but which can no longer be assigned to the purely private sphere of the data user.
