      Guidelines on Data Protection Officers (‘DPOs’) (wp243rev.01)

      Section 5.3  What does ‘large scale’ mean?

      The GDPR does not define what constitutes large-scaleprocessing. The WP29 recommends that the following factors, in particular, be considered when determining whether the processing is carried out on a large scale: 

      • the number of data subjects concerned – either as a specific number or as a proportion of the relevant population

      • the volume of data and/or the range of different data items being processed

      • the duration, or permanence, of the data processing activity

      • the geographical extent of the processing activity

      Examples of largescale processing include:

      • processing of patient data in the regular course of business by a hospital

      • processing of travel data of individuals using a city’s public transport system (e.g. tracking via travel cards)

      • processing of real time geo-location data of customers of an international fast food chain for statistical purposes by a processor specialised in these activities

      • processing of customer data in the regular course of business by an insurance company or a bank

      • processing of personal data for behavioural advertising by a search engine

      • processing of data (content, traffic, location) by telephone or internet service providers

      Examples that do not constitute large-scale processing include:

      • processing of patient data by an individual physician

      • processing of personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences by an individual lawyer
