Explanation

The GDPR applies to the processing of personal data wholly or partly by automated means and to the processing other than by automated means of personal data which form part of a filing system or are intended to form part of a filing system. However, the GDPR does not apply to the processing of personal data by a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity. This means that individuals can process personal data without being subject to the GDPR, as long as the processing is not related to a professional or commercial activity. For example, the GDPR does not apply to an individual who keeps a personal address book or who posts photos of their family and friends on a social media platform, as long as the platform is not used for business purposes.
