📁 Filling system means any structured set of personal data which are accessible according to specific criteria, whether centralised, decentralised, or dispersed on a functional or geographical basis.
🖋 The GDPR establishes a fundamental PRINCIPLE REGARDING THE STORAGE SYSTEM, which requires that the protection of personal data of natural persons should apply both to fully and partially automated processing, as well as to manual data processing.
❗ Therefore, even personal data that is not part of a filing system and not included in a database is subject to privacy regulations (such as a simple paper list with names and contact information 📃 ).
