What is personal data processing?

Data processing is defined as any operation or set of operations carried out with or without the use of automated processes and applied to sets of personal data, such as recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, extraction, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or any other form of circulation, alignment or consolidation, limitation, deletion or destruction.

A file is not only a database or an Excel table. It may be a paper document, a video-surveillance installation that gathers information on an individual, etc.
