Explanation

The transparency principle, as stated in Article 5(1)(a) of the GDPR, requires that personal data be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject. This principle is closely linked to the right to be informed, as specified in Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR, which oblige the controller to provide the data subject with certain information about the processing of their personal data, such as the identity and contact details of the controller, the purposes and legal basis of the processing, the recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data, the existence of the data subject's rights, and the retention period or criteria for the personal data. The right to be informed aims to ensure that the data subject is aware of and can verify the lawfulness of the processing, and to enable them to exercise their rights effectively. Therefore, the transparency principle is most directly related to the right to be informed.
