Recital 62 Exceptions to the Obligation to Provide Information*

1However, it is not necessary to impose the obligation to provide information where the data subject already possesses the information, where the recording or disclosure of the personal data is expressly laid down by law or where the provision of information to the data subject proves to be impossible or would involve a disproportionate effort. 2The latter could in particular be the case where processing is carried out for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes. 3In that regard, the number of data subjects, the age of the data and any appropriate safeguards adopted should be taken into consideration.
